Darst Road is known for its birds, but it’s also located in farm and pasture land. Waiting in the fog at the end of the road to see birds I could only hear, many cows began walking across the pasture up to me (or as close as they could get) in anticipation of a morning feeding. The yellow tag on their right ear has a date and the red tag in their left ear has the name of the ranch with two phone numbers. Cow. Commodity. Commerce. Consumption. Beasley, Texas.
Led to this abandonment and yet they are the reason this is still standing perhaps. If prices were higher, I think this would be bulldozed and farmed over.
Is tourism a modern form of commodity fetishism? Does it devalue the lives of many of the people living in these cities? The short answer - yes.
A rather scruffy looking TT114 leads 2196 through Tahmoor, with TT109 at the rear, heading for Cooks River with a load of aggregate stone from Marulan.
Introduced for coal working, the TT class are now spread across Pacific National still either on coal, or diversified into stone and intermodal duties, however where ever they are, they're still stained from coal.

Electricity and Lumber Drags... We'll save the others for a different hopeless section of the internet..
So close and yet so far away, when I woke up I went looking for activity on the grid; there was a 3QKDBJ 13 (H-VAWFRS3) at South Sacramento moving into position for a spot at Hammer Lane to sit and wait for the gridlock at El Pinal to clear up, as well as a Long Beach getting dragged out to Acampo. Then there was BNSF 7391 west holding the siding at James waiting for the Gypsum empties to get by before proceeding down the Canyon Subdivision with a fully loaded ten-thousand ton, six-thousand foot lumber yard on wheels which I thought was gonna be easy catch at either Craig or Mounkes; that was the wrong assumption train beat me to Mounkes by about ten minutes. So after flipping around and a quick jog down Highway 70 I landed at the south end of the siding at Pleasant Grove which had a maintainer working there, so no searchlights this time...
Steel coils squeal through the curve at Indiana Harbor, moving south on the IHB main after having just crossed NS's Chicago Line.
South of downtown Nagoya in the port district is a third sector short line freight railway, the Nagoya Rinkai Railway. Opened in 1965, this line serves a number of heavy industries along the port district in Ise Bay. They handle chemical, automotive, oil, and commodities to and from Nippon Steel. Locomotive traction is utilized with a fleet of old ND552 diesel center cabs. Nearly all of the ND552's are still in use since the railway's founding.
Here ND552-8 crosses over the Tsuchiruki River with a short train of steel from the Nagoya Nippon Steel Works. They are headed for Higashicho Yard, where the train will later be transferred to JR Freight.

A variety of bulk commodities such as lumber, sugar, and sand all get transloaded at the yard in Landisville. Here, the 8651 pulls out a string of cars for spotting. Taken on railroad property with permission and escort.

Georgia Division trains 125 and 322 meet in downtown Atlanta, both being led by unique locomotives. Knoxville to Macon merchandise freight 125 is led by the Interstate heritage unit, GE ES44AC number 8105, while Macon to Chattanooga freight 322 is led by EMD SD70ACe number 1066, the New York Central heritage unit.
Pacific National Intermodal 2PM6 with locomotives NR119-NR81 crosses Adelaide Metro/PTS passenger railcars 3111-3112 on non revenue transfer service 004A at Millswood. The Railcar set is looped for an oncoming revenue service rather than for the Intermodal which is on a separate network section.
Norfolk Southern GP60 7109 was just beginning its short trek over the former PRR Panhandle with a bottle train as it pulled across CSX's former B&O main in Riverdale.
The train is a pretty hot one to catch around town-literally; It runs from Dolton to the Arcelor-Mittal Steel plant in East Chicago over the Indiana Harbor Belt.
The C&NW was my favorite Midwestern carrier from afar, but my pictures of it are precious and few. Here's an off kilter scene from
29 June 1989 at Wheaton IL of a coal train led by SD40-2
duo 6811-6878 in two paint variations.
There was something about the look of the
gray-haired fella that looked "familiar" to me.
Ever, see a face, a person, who ya think ya know,
but seeing them out of context- throws you-off
recognizing where ya know them?
Like if you "knew" your friends Doorman,
and then saw them at a Street Festival?
It wasn't just that I happen to notice other gray haired guys;
was either someone I'd worked with, or maybe I thought someone I knew from my past life in the Food/Hospitality Industry or maybe? a fella I knew from years ago,
down on The Commodity Markets Trading Floor ? -
that was several decades ago, though....
Then.....
I thought- there's an ex-Chicago Tribune Columnist -
John Kass.....who I'd seen at Events before-
maybe? it's him.....??
wgnradio.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2015/07/chinews-j...
My curiosity wouldn't let me leave without uncovering this mystery-man's familiarity - so, after finishing my Katsu Don - I get-up and approach him and his much younger dining companion to ask him "where
do I know u from"? > which leads to - nowhere.
Richard M. Petite, is a
Retired Industrial Hygienist (......OK?) - who
happened to be meeting his "daughter" for a lunch + a planned Dog-Date/Dog-play-date in a nearby suburban
Forest Preserve.
So- now, if I ever need an Industrial Environmental Engineer,
or a Cosmetologist (who seemed kinda judgmental),
I know who to call.
Today and tomorrow, I invite you to take a break from Romanesque churches of Burgundy to visit yet another truly remarkable Romanesque church: that of the abbey of Chalais, built way up in the massif of Chartreuse in the French Alps, above the city of Grenoble.
Founded in 1101 by monks who wanted to live as hermits, according to the rule of Saint Benedict but without connection to local parishes or the outside world in general. They set a precedent and had followers, thus creating the “Order of Chalais”, which was therefore another branch on the Benedictine tree.
Confronted to a lack of resources, the abbey went through many vicissitudes until it was absorbed in 1303 by the Carthusian monks who had established the Grande Chartreuse not far from Chalais and only a few years prior, in 1084.
Today, the abbey is inhabited and managed by Dominican nuns who came from Lyon in 1963. They make excellent biscuits, too!
These photographs were taken on commission by the Fondation pour la Sauvegarde de l’Art Français, with which I work as a pro bono photographer.
What remains of the nave, the choir, the transept and the apse, have been beautifully restored, with an utmost respect for the stonework and modern-day commodities such as floor heating, which keeps the church nice and cosy in the Winter (we are above 1,000 meters of altitude in the French Alps!).
Belt Railway of Chicago SD40-2 312 rests at 100th Street Yard in South Chicago. Coke hoppers, just delivered by the BRC, sit at KCBX Terminals in the background. Looming above everything is the Chicago Skyway (I-90) toll bridge.
every time meredith grey (grey's anatomy series ) said : pick me - choose me - love me !
i feel so bad cause by these words i feel like the world stops !
like all the humanity feelings go down .
i dunno why i feel these words make us just like any thing to buy
like we are soo cheap !
like a commodity !
I think if love dosn't raise us up, it isn't love at all
if the love makes us down and humiliates us so it is nothing about love !
it's about making our self so cheap and so available ..
if we force the ppl we love to love us , or choose us , if we begged them even if they don't want ..
isnt an insult ?!
let love raise us above every thing ,, let it improve our live and support us and not make things difficult
let it be the strongest point not the weakest .. !
it isn't love unless we feel much better !!
* don't use it in any way
no one is allowed to use this photo or any piece of my photos. no themes no modifications ...etc
plz respect the rights .
With so many in storage due to the downturn in traffic, finding a "Barn" on a train in a sea of GEVO's, let alone leading, has become a scarcity. So when I saw that when E231 came through the St. Clair Tunnel with CN 2447, a 8-40CM, I figured I had to take the time to go and see. Thanks to 'Guy" for unknowingly motivating me to go shoot it, especially since I was the one who told him it was coming so he could shoot it.

Three types of trains meet on the quadruple-track thoroughfare that bisects downtown Birmingham, Alabama. The busiest railroad hotspot in Alabama, one can easily see upwards of 5 trains an hour here, if one's luck holds out. The two far tracks are part of CSX's Boyles Terminal Subdivision, while the two middle tracks are part of Norfolk Southern's Alabama Division. The two overgrown sidings at left are not in service. It's quite possible to see all four mainlines occupied simultaneously, or at the very least 3 out of 4, as shown here. A Union Pacific SD70ACe lends a hand to an eastbound Norfolk Southern manifest freight, while two CSX southbounds, a loaded coal and a stacker, wait for their turn to cross the interlocking.
