What I do is the opposite of building walls. I build bridges. A bridge is something that connects instead of separating.

A special bus connecting the old and the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, at both ends of North Terrace.
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.

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
The super maxi Law Connect had won the previous two Sydney to Hobart line honours. This year however, there were problems with its sails, and it finished second behind Comanche with a time of 2 days 5 hours 50 minutes and 40 seconds.
Connecting a Continent. I had to let that sink in for a moment.
CPKC recently released its 2024 annual report, and as I flipped through the pages, I felt an unexpected wave of emotion. As a professional photographer, I’m used to seeing my work published in various places, but something about this felt different. Seeing my images used to help tell CPKC’s story—one that spans Canada, the United States, and Mexico—is an incredible honour, and I’m beyond grateful to have played a small part in capturing this journey.
Kudos to the communications team for bringing these photos to life so beautifully!

Sé que es una foto muy cliché, pero me gusta. Tenía la idea de las mariposas hace tiempo, pero ninguna de las fotos que había tomado me convencía, hasta esta :).
Espero que les guste, y tengan un buen dia .
Pentax K10D (2006) | SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm
I never really take my Pentax K10D out, and since she turns 20 years old in 2026, I decided to shoot with it today.
I think I'll go back soon and clear out this area to get a shot of it clear, I kind of like it.
My pet peeve is when hallways and corridors have de-centered features, and while I always enjoy this building, it has so many non-symmetrical things that irk me.
Schließlich fuhr ich wieder zurück nach Oberwesel und leider wurden auch die Wolken immer mehr...:-( .
Ich stand am Rheinufer am KD Anleger und wartete auf den nächsten interessanten Güterzug gen Süden:
Der DGS 43155 von TXL mit der ELL 193 252 (Werbelok We Love To Connect) war voll beladen unterwegs mit ca. 1 Stunde Verspätung auf der Fahrt von Köln Eifeltor nach Verona Quadrante Europa in Italien.
Ich fotografierte den fotogenen Zug trotzdem mit voller Sonne beim Verlassen des alten Rossteintunnels nördlich von Kaub an der rechten Rheinstrecke (KBS 466) .
