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.

Aggregate Industries liveried (GB Railfreight) 66711 'Sence' leads the 6T64 0827 Stratford (London) to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf departmental through Waterbeach. 66539 can be seen in the distance.
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.

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.

I had an unplanned short stay in Gdańsk this week, and oh, how surprised I was when I had heard that this train would be running just at the time when I was there. Though this shot was supposed to be completely different...
BR232-693 and M62-1286 are starting after a short halt in Żukowo Wschodnie (1939-1945 Zuckau Ost). The train had to be stopped because of the way the traffic is organised here, and so I got to see the two Soviet beasts start the over 4000 tonne (!) heavy train from a standstill.
Now returning to the first paragraph - I had wanted to take a completely different picture at this station, but the local conditions didn't allow me to fulfill this plan, as the very nice frame with the entry mechanical signal to the station is completely ruined by... the construction of the new ring road of Żukowo Wschodnie. The consistently falling number of good photo spots on this very interesting railway line is not a new trend, as for the past ~15 years this line was continuously under very tiny modernisation efforts.
In the following days I will try to prepare a series of photographs from the railway line no. 201 to try to summarise the history and the near future of this stretch of track. I feel like it has a really interesting side to it, which might be a cool read for the ones of you who like to learn about the background of each picture. "Changes, Changes, Changes..." will be the main theme here.

Southern Shorthaul Railroad’s CLP9 and RailPower’s CLP13 scream through Picton as with empty aggregate train 2283 bound for Peppertree Loop.
The comapny Dolata was established in 1998, but it wasn't until 2018 that they expanded to the railway. They started in Dąbrowa (near Poznań) as a gravel/aggregates mine and sorting facility. Now they also do transports and produce concrete. The name comes from the company owner - Agnieszka Dolata.
The expansion to the rails happened (afaik) in 2018 and BR232-789 was the first class 232 locomotive to receive Dolata's black and silver livery. The company currently has a railway operations base in Szamotuły (also near Poznań), where they repair their sizeable fleet, now consisting of a couple of 232 and TEM2 locomotives (additionally - they own an ex-PKP ST44 locomotive, but there are no plans of bringing it back to life).
On a foggy November morning, while visiting my family in Rokietnica, I made my way to the local railway station and snapped this picture of Dolata's first 232 at the aggregate siding near the station. Since then, the station has had a substantial overhaul and the siding has ceased existing.

Excerpt from the plaque:
HueScape by Art Aggregate: With HueScape we want to encourage viewers to engage with the piece as both individual objects and as an immersive space. By shifting vantage points we can focus on the work as a tunnel or view it as a porthole drawing our attention through to the environment beyond the structures.
The work is a marker with delineating lines that mark one’s presence in time and the presence of an act upon the wood.
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.
