They made a nice job of the exposed aggregate finish concrete slab on the sea wall at Dymchurch, U.K.

I was driving around the industrial area by the river and found an aggregate/concrete business. Lots of interesting patterns.
After running loaded aggregate cars to Grayslake Sand and Gravel, we are almost back to the beginning point of the day, at Spur 105 at Sussex. Here we are holding behind another northbound at Vernon, waiting for a southbound meet. So, the opportunity seemed right for me to hop off and get a shot of the aggregate train atop the bridge and have conductor Mark back the train onto the bridge. The perks were pretty good at times.

The sun struggles to shine through the milky cloud cover, as train CT-1 with three B39-8s for power approach Route 150 in Wallingford. This train takes stone loads from Tilcons Reeds Gap quarry to Cedar Hill Yard. Later at night, a new crew operating as train CHFP will make the trip to Fresh Pond Yard in Queens, NY. The antique truck on the left is home to the Connecticut Street Rod Association.

Concrete Materials uses its railroad subsidiary, Ellis & Eastern, to move its products around. That means raw materials like sand, as well as industrial products like cement. The railroad's pair of SD40-2Ws accelerate from the sand pit at Corson, S.D., on BNSF's Corson Subdivision. The sand will go to Concrete Materials' plant on the west side of Sioux Falls.

Back in 1982, the Leicester - Burton-on-Trent line was very busy with MGRs and aggregate trains to a variety of loaders. At Cliff Hill, 37075 is getting its train loaded, as 56047 passes with a merry-go-round.

Almost didn't bother with this as shooting into the sun...But I like the dust coming off the stone wagons. Creates a nice effect I think.

Before aggregate mining companies, housing developers, and Utah Transit Authority altered the landscape, the Jordan Narrows between Lehi and Riverton, Utah was a rural retreat with deer, birds, fish, and foxes for sightseers to enjoy. Utilizing trackage rights on the D&RGW granted late in 1985, Union Pacific's LUC51 rolls through the greenery with 71 cars for North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 8, 1993.

CP Rail 4718, an MLW M636, leads a westbound manifest train beneath an aggregate conveyor system in Zorra, Ontario.
For anyone not familiar with the location, it's near Gravesend, Kent and only a mile away from the Thames, with it's own jetty for Dredgers to deliver dredged aggregate. This is transported to the wash & grading plant by a conveyor.
There is a run round loop / reception siding behind the camera. The loco runs around the train of empties and then propels it into the loading area, nine wagons on each of road four & five, as seen in the image.
Wagons can also be loaded by the overhead conveyor to the left, on roads one & two, but both the conveyor and trackwork was undergoing maintenance when we visited.
DI1 pulls into Osspiee Aggregates to spot their empties from Rochester. They ran to Dover as a local job today due to BODO never making it out of Boston. The weather forecast was crap all day so I didn't plan on going out, but near the end of my work day the sun started coming out so I chanced it. It made for a good afternoon.
GB Railfreight 60021 "Penyghent" enjoys some winter sun at the business end of 6F22 Penmaenmawr Quarry - Tuebrook Sidings loaded stone.
A chance glimpse online and I spotted that the tug had worked the empties inbound from Doncaster earlier in the morning. With a path in for the return to Liverpool, it was worth getting out the house for. I haven't managed anything other than a corporate coloured shed on this working until now, indeed I believe this train has only experienced class 60 haulage a handful of times since starting.
A tug on the coast with the sun shining meant for happy faces all round for the small gallery that had assembled!

The Purley aggregates terminal hosts ARC's Class 59/1 59102 'Village of Chantry' upon a morning unrecorded duty.
One may ask should the original 1990 Amalgamated Roadstone Corp livery of mustard yellow and silver feature in a retro livery repaint? Never exactly one of my favourites should the trend continue.. .

Freightliner 'Shed' 66588 runs the gauntlet of Friday night passengers and station staff as it rumbles slowly through Reading's platform 8 with the 6.34pm Churchyard Sidings - Whatley Quarry discharged aggregate hoppers (6V51).
Most freight is scheduled to run through platforms 12 and 13 (and, occasionally, 15) but keeping an eye on the virtual signal diagram while staying close to the footbridge can pay dividends for those last minute platform changes - as happened here.
In what is now a mostly rebuilt station, I do like the way the main legacy building has been retained and incorporated into the new structure - a comforting link to the station's heritage. Note too the homage to the station's previous name, Reading General, on the large-scale totem at right. Have to say I thought the 'General' name was given to the station much earlier during Great Western Railway ownership rather than post the 1948 nationalisation, but I could be mistaken.
What isn't in doubt are the sheer numbers of passengers using the facility - some 17million in the year prior to Covid. And, while current numbers are still well down on that, catching a train for the 36 mile ride to London, even in the mid-morning off-peak period, can still be a sardine-like experience.
I also noted that the line at platform 8 is roughly where the through line was in the 1970s. This was where the daily joy could be experienced of a Western passing through the station at speed at the head of the Up "Cornish Riviera Ltd'. Heady days for diesel-hydraulic spotters and snappers alike!
For this image I've opted to not over-egg the lighting, but instead keep it similar to the levels it actually was.
