Le pont du Pays de Liège est un pont autoroutier inauguré début juin 2000 lors de l'ouverture de la liaison liaison E40-E25 à la circulation, il permet d'enjamber la Meuse et de relier ainsi Angleur à Cointe. Établi par le bureau d'étude Greisch, il est d'une longueur de 162 mètres.
Le pont est du type à haubans.
En venant de Cointe vers les Ardennes, il se compose successivement :
la culée en rive gauche de la Meuse
d'une travée de 31,5m sur le Quai Banning
d'une travée de 162m sur la Meuse.
du pylône d'une hauteur de 70m
d'une culée contre-poids d'une longueur de 134m.
La travée sur la Meuse et la culée contre-poids sont soutenus par 22 haubans chacun.
La travée sur la Meuse a été réalisée par poussage depuis la rive droite de la Meuse.
La culée contre-poids constitue la première partie du tunnel de Kinkempois.
The Liège Country Bridge is a motorway bridge inaugurated in early June 2000 with the opening of the E40-E25 interchange to traffic. It spans the Meuse River, connecting Angleur to Cointe. Designed by the engineering firm Greisch, it is 162 meters long.
The bridge is a cable-stayed type.
Coming from Cointe towards the Ardennes, it consists of the following sections:
the abutment on the left bank of the Meuse
a 31.5m span on the Quai Banning
a 162m span over the Meuse
a 70m high pylon
a 134m long counterweight abutment.
The span over the Meuse and the counterweight abutment are each supported by 22 cables.
The span over the Meuse was built using the launching method from the right bank of the Meuse.
The counterweight abutment forms the first section of the Kinkempois Tunnel.
VIA 186 snakes its way through the snow-covered wilderness of northern Ontario. The flag-stop service is a lifeline between remote communities. Connecting small towns like White River, Sultan, and Bisco, offering residents and travelers alike a chance to reach distant destinations that might otherwise be unreachable during the harsh winter months. Inside, the warmth of the cabin contrasts with the frigid world outside, as passengers gaze out at the endless expanse of snow, knowing that this train offers not just transportation, but a vital link between the northern communities that rely on it.
tunnel junction between M3 & M4 Copenhagen metro. it is an incredible area with intense light that contrast with the entire network and city Hygge ambiance.
What I do is the opposite of building walls. I build bridges. A bridge is something that connects instead of separating.

Queensferry Crossing - September 2017
The need to visit this particular place came to me, while i was studying the cable car railway to the Janikowo soda plant. When tracing its route going from Janikowo we first see the station, where carts were separated between Inowrocław and Janikowo, then it crosses a lake and continues through the fields towards the Bielawy quarry. There is a catch however, as the cable car railway stops some 2 kilometers before the actual quarry/cement plant. How have I not noticed this before?
But the curiosities don't stop there. Naturally the cable cars have to get their load somehow, and to my great surprise and utmost amazement - this is done with a standard railway, which runs here from the cement plant, at a length of around 2,5km. At the end, the wagons are unloaded and the load is transferred to the cable car. Crazy!
I dug deeper. As it turns out, the station is reffered to as K1 (which is why I jokingly call it Masherbrum) and I found many reports of former workers, who talked about the railway on various forums. But... no pictures from here existed! The industry enthusiasts photographed the transloading facility itself, some bus-lovers shot pictures of busses with the station and cable car, which served as a background, but seemingly no railfan has ever step foot here. That made me curious, maybe the train doesn't run in the end? Checking areal photos from the place out of 3 different sources I found around 20 shots taken across the span of the past 15 years. Only around half of them had any traffic on this station, maybe that was why, maybe this doesn't run very often...
Nevertheless, me and a friend of mine from the region embarked on a journey. We came in the morning and... there it was, a train was just unloading on the station! Our excitement was short-lived though, as our car's tire had burst before we even reached it, which stopped us significantly. But no matter. It turns out that the train had been here for the rest of the day. It looks as if they only unloaded one wagon each hour (or even fewer). I think the train comes here only every 2 days and stays here for unloading.
To connect all the dots, as in the title, I need to add on another bit of information, which was also very interesting to me. The reports of workers, which I had mentioned earlier talk about EL2 locomotives being used to bring the cargo wagons here. Sure enough, one of the former catenary pylons is hiding just behind the locomotive on this picture, as the train is leaving K1 towards the quarry, headed by SM42-2083. Some of the pylons even retained their original designations and each one of them is marked with the designation "K1". I think this is the first picture published on the internet, which features this place and a train.
One last thing are the wagons. They are only used on this line and they are made up of the type 41W, which were manufactured in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski (1952-1959) and Wrocław (1960-1964). The factories each had their own little details on carriages and this helped me determine that both the producers supplied the wagons to this industrial railway. My rough estimate is that the plant currently has around 100 such wagons in use, and they only are used for internal transports to K1.
I hope you enjoyed the trillogy about Wapienno's internal railways.

Officially trying to do 365 days of black and white. Each picture connecting with the day’s before photo.
The rain drops on this table caught my eye and I couldn't resist a nice top down shot for the day.
We haven't had that much rain this summer so the fact that it's been raining on and off this week has been wonderful for the plants and wildlife.
Here's hoping for a little more rain before the week is out.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Happy Monochrome Monday! One of over a dozen pedestrian bridges n Portland, Oregon.
There are also 12 major vehicle bridges entirely within Portland city limits. If you count the three additional bridges that connect Portland to Washington state, there are 15.Aug 31, 2021
