This is a "self discharging bulk carrier". I googled what that means, and found this interesting video www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud6QiHw7SU0
After leaving its berth at the PSA Europa Terminal, the vessel is seen here sailing downstream the river Schelde on its way out to sea. It calls on Southampton, Bremerhaven, Antwerp, Le Havre, Veracruz, Altamira, Houston, New Orleans, Charleston and back to Southampton

CTA "Green Hornet" postwar PCC 4391 (St Louis 1948 order 1662) @ Illinois Railway Museum, Union IL 7-4-89
Unlike the prewar "Blue Geese", the postwar PCC cars were built as Pay As You Enter cars as were most of Chicago's two-man cars. One boarded the car through the triple stream rear doors and paid one's fare to the conductor who stood directly in front of them on the opposite side. One could then take a seat and/or exit the car either at the single center door or the double-stream front doors. Chicago had one of the largest PCC fleets but the size of their system was such that they could be found only on a few heavily used routes.
M3 CSLs were kinda dime-a-dozen (along with GT3 RS's) this weekend. Still, it is always a pleasure to hear that engine. Plus, there was only a small time window for the occupants of these vehicles to be cooked under the aluminium roof :-)
CTA "169 car " 3142 (Brill 1923 order 21686) ex CSL (CRys) @IRM Union IL 7-4-2010
On Jan. 26, 1922 a fire devastated the Devon carhouse and destroyed 90 cars. To replace them (and add more capacity) the Chicago Surface Lines ordered this group of new streetcars known by the name "The 169 cars" because of their total number. Because CSL was only an operating company and owned no equipment , actual ownership belonged to 2 of the underlying companies that made up the Surface Lines. Chicago Railways owned 1721-1785 (built by CSL's West Shops), 3119-3160 (Brill) and 3161-3178 (Cummings) while Chicago City Railway owned 6155-6158 (West Shops), 6159-6186 (Brill) and 6187-6198 (Cummings.) This car, 3142, is the last survivor.
As built all were Pay-As-You-Enter two man cars with a rear entrance and sliding front doors and were assigned to the heaviest CSL routes (they had the alternate name of Broadway-State cars). In 1949-1950, following the CTA takeover, the Chicago Transit Authority converted them to one-man cars for use on the lighter lines, replacing the sliding front doors with folding ones and adding foot controls.
The Illinois Railroad Museum has done a fantastic job of restoring this car to its CTA appearance complete with the white band alerting prospective passengers that this is a front-entrance car. I'm glad IRM resisted the temptation to backdate it to its CSL paint scheme. It never ran as a one man car for CSL and it would take a major project to restore the sliding front doors and the other equipment it had as a two-man car.
