On the morning of March 24th, I swung by the BNSF Calwa Yard once more and was greeted by a northbound stack train throttling up and out of the yard just as I arrived. Traffic was starting to back up at Church Ave, but luckily not bad enough to make a hard left on East Ave and catch up to the headend at Sunmaid Crossing. I quickly hopped out of the car and grabbed some shots of the power rolling under the signal bridge just south of the diamond with one of the area's water towers looming in the background to the left. If one zooms in to the right and looks down the tracks, the nose of one of the yard jobs can be seen which continued to block Church Ave as the train switched cars around the main yard. I tried to catch up with my main target once more, but alas the train was too fast and the streets of Fresno were a bit busy once entering the downtown district.

Conrail NB-39 works Stone Container on the Ford Lead in Teterboro, NJ. NB-39 was the regular relief for the OI-31 crew which brought this job up to the Pascack Valley Line from Oak Island Yard every weekday morning. NB-39 went on duty in the late afternoon, with the crew handling most switching on the Ford Lead before returning east after the evening rush. Traffic levels at the time kept OI-31 busy working the active leads between East Rutherford and Teterboro between the morning and evening rush.
The Ford Lead somehow managed to remain in service through the years, even with the loss of its namesake Ford traffic. The site of Stone Container is now Quivican Trucking, a warehousing operation that I believe may be the only active customer remaining.

Bouwafval, gedumpt in containers kan soms hele mooie artistieke beelden opleveren. In het verleden heb ik dat al vaker gefotografeerd maar dan zonder de container er bij. Dit gaat veranderen.
Vanaf nu (maart 2018) zal ik bij elke containerfoto ook een foto plaatsen van de container zelf.
Ik plaats hier alleen containers die ik in Den Haag heb gezien. Ik zal er ook de straatnaam bij vermelden.

The bike path on the new eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge now goes all the way to Treasure Island/Yerba Buena! The old span is being demolished so the path is only open on weekends for now.

This is one of the cargo container ships returning to China from the Port of San Francisco. A lovely sunset view from the Cliff House restaurant. Truly a Golden Hour. I didn't notice until I was processing the "Double Sunset" effect in this image. Guess from an internal false image in the camera? Or is it a natural optical illusion? Anyone know? Oh well it goes well balancing the double rocks.
It is interesting that of every 100 containers that crossed the Pacific Ocean from Asia to North America last year, 60 came back empty. It is a multi billion dollar loss for the shipping industry. The containers that did come back full were often transported at a steep discount for lack of demand. The main exports after empty containers were; recycled paper, cotton, scrap metal (Old Cars) and Hay. The trip is a 14 day trip from California to Hong Kong.
There are some piping going through the red and blue containers to supply water to the kitchen and bathroom.
- Nothing works like a proper large stack of shipping containers in creating a jaw dropping abstract pattern.

Not every Vic Viper was a sleek starfighter. The design proved to be highly adaptable and was used for a wide variety of spacecraft. One of the more unusual examples is shown in this archive photo, working at Blwch Mawr Container Port.
These little VVs buzzed around the port like busy bees. They were mainly used for lifting containers off the storage racks and onto lorries. The lorries were highly manoeuvrable, having spheres instead of discs for wheels. This allowed them to roll sideways as well as forwards and backwards and turning.
