The Fox Valley has had an impressive concentration of industry (mainly papermaking) and a maze of tracks to serve those industries for about 150 years. Over that time the fortunes of the C&NW, MILW and SOO would rise and fall several times. With those changing fortunes the paper traffic would be at times neglected, taken for granted or abused by the railroads. Wisconsin Central made a concerted effort to serve the area well and had much success. Canadian National may not have that same focus as WC did and the industry has faced larger struggles of its own.
I've seldom seen more of a stark visual example of a business giving up on rail and in favor of trucking. The rails still cross the street here on North Lake St but they don't go anywhere or connect to anything. Where there once was a bank of boxcar loading docks there is a new set of six tractor trailer bays. I don't know the whole story, and it seems this may not be a paper company anymore but perhaps a warehouser or distribution center. Regardless, it's yet another source of rail traffic gone forever.

Scammell Contractor I spotted sitting around Wingfield. Looks like it was a prime mover, and it's running a Cummins NTA400 under the hood.

A custom built MP/PDW chambered in .45, was one of many unique designs created for hitmen in the service of organized crime, the "Contractor's 45" was sometimes referred to as the modern replacement to the iconic Thompson SMG of the 1920s.
As we are aware getting into locations can be a bit bizar , as we left this place a local german lady stopped pedalling her bike and asked us when was the "Building " going to be re opened , we so were not german contractors , as we found this place there happened to be major road works right outside the place , the only way in !!
Boardman Local Schools 30 - 1973 Carpenter Cavalier FE - Retired; Myers Equipment Corp. - Canfield, Ohio. One of many Carpenter transit buses once in the fleet. Bus was originally owned by a contractor, Edward Stewart. It was one of four Carpenter transits operated by the contractor.
This beautiful church was incorporated in 1923. Work was started the same year toward a new edifice and was completed in 1924. The rectory was moved north to parallel the construction, facing the lake.
L. Phillips Clarke, of Harvey and Clarke, was the architect for the new church, as he was later for the new parish hall in 1929 and for the new rectory and Sunday School rooms built later. Wilcox Bros. Inc., the contractor, built the church and also did repair work after it suffered hurricane damage in 1928.
The marble and mosaic work was done by craftsmen from Italy, who brought much of the material with them. Louis S. Clarke (whose father, C. J. Clarke, had donated the community building in which the original church group met, and whose son was the architect for the present building) made the chandeliers for the church by hand, together with the chains by which they hang, all of which he forged himself. The marble altar and the original Skinner organ were made possible by generous donations.
On February 24, 1924, the first service was held in the new church. The old church building was then used as a parish hall until it was destroyed in the hurricane of September 1928.
Some features that identify it as the original church building are the arch detail over the entrance, the screen doors, and one of the small front windows.
In May 1929 work was started on the first two units of a new parish hall. The cornerstone was laid on July 14th and work was completed in September. A choir room, kitchen quarters, and a new rectory were added in 1939. Funding for and work on the Sunday school rooms which frame the current courtyard commenced in 1948.
The collapse of the land boom in 1926, the killer hurricane in 1928, and the stock market crash of 1929 brought development to a halt in the region. Holy Trinity, holding a large debt for the new building, endured a very difficult struggle and at one point foreclosure was threatened. However, in 1938 as the depression waned, the debt was restructured and disaster was averted.
The formal consecration of the church was held on April 29, 1945, after the mortgage was retired. The event was hailed in the press as "the high point in the history of the Episcopal congregation in West Palm Beach." The consecration services were conducted by Bishop John D. Wing of the Diocese of South Florida, before a congregation that packed the building. The Rev. William S. Turner was rector at that time.
Memorials and gifts throughout the years, too numerous to detail in this limited space, have enhanced the beauty of the church. A large Skinner organ was added to the original organ in 1939, and other additions were subsequently made. The stained glass windows were installed over a period spanning sixty years, with the first window, the large rose window over the altar, being installed in 1924. The most ambitious window addition program occurred in the 1950s with the Rev. James Stirling as Rector. The most recently installed windows, in the south wall of the Baptistry, were installed in 1984.
Having originally been started with the help of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Holy Trinity has in turn through the years helped start five other Episcopal churches in the area: St. Andrews Church, Lake Worth, St. Georges, Riviera Beach, St. Marks, Palm Beach Gardens, The Church of the Holy Spirit, West Palm Beach, and Grace Episcopal Church, West Palm Beach.

Late 1960s Lumar Contractors "Powerhouse" High Lift Mobile Crane by Louis Marx and Company. Cleaned, re-strung and in full working order once more.
I saw a picture of this ex Australian Army Scammell Contractor tank transporter that'd been converted to a tipper here on Flickr around 2011, and when I was on holiday there in 2018 I decided to see if the 1971 built machine was still around.
With not much time or information I managed to track it down even though it'd moved location to a coal mine which was impossible to access without induction training!
Never mind, at least the old girl was parked fairly near the fence!
At least one of these is used for runs with the Wayne Highlands School District. The first bus in the like is a spare for them, and was previously numbered 83. The middles bus is blank, and the bus at the end is the WHSD bus 72.
The landscape contractor and I were wandering around talking about where various walls were going to go when we found ourselves standing near the gas meter.
"Uh, I smell gas." Which bugged me since the gas company had just installed this meter a few months ago. So I called them. I emphasized that the leak was outside, but they were undeterred. The service guy was there in about 1/2 hour! I was amazed at the response time. The only people who respond faster are the Fire Department (we've had to call twice). The only interruption to the landscaping work was that they couldn't use machinery (the Wacker Packer you saw previously) in this area until he had made the repair. Which he did in about an hour.
After he was finished, I looked at it and realized..."hmmm, pipes AND a wall!"

I am really happy with this figure - he is one of my Private Military Contractors, and he is heavily armed!
His helmet is a BrickArms MCH with minifig.cat Nightvision goggles and a Tiny Tactical scope (which I am using as a mounted camera), and he is armed with a BrickArms SMG (with Tiny Tactical additions), a BrickArms proto SABR, and a BricKArms proto Kukri, as well as several extra ammo magaziness. Everything is removable and usable for the figure.
It also uses the head of the GIBrick CIA Operative!
This view offers multiple angles of the figure.
As always, I hope you enjoy the figure, and comments are always appreciated!

Train tracks heading towards the Grade II Listed Lincoln Central Railway Station, in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
It is now the only station in Lincoln, following the closure of Lincoln St. Marks in 1985. However, it has retained its "Central" suffix, like Rotherham Central.
Lincolns Central, the city’s second station, was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1848. It was designed by Architect John Taylor, and constructed by Contractors Samuel Morton Peto and Edward Ladd Betts, while the GNRs engineer was Joseph Cubitt.
The land appears from a Padleys 1842 map to have been a large paddock to the east of a house on the High Street which stretched back to Sincil Dyke.
The station buildings chief material is grey brick, and the general style is mock Tudor. The main buildings are on the north side dominated by a square tower on the platform on the east of the buildings. The main entrance building is 2 storied and H shaped with gables facing the frontage with a modern canopy between.
On the west side are single storey parcel offices, the first with wide arched door and flanking windows, the next with gable and flat frontage, repeated. A feature of the station is the inclusion of many tall thin ornate chimney stacks.
On the north east of the station is an enclosed car park, with a boundary wall of yellow brick. At the east end of the station was a footbridge, dating from the 1880s, for crossing the tracks. It was cast iron with diamond lattice parapets.
This bridge was dismantled and replaced in 1999, with new lifts, partly reusing elements of the old bridge. There was also an earlier covered footbridge at the west end of the station built in 1869 surviving until the 1980s. It was popularly used as a public way from High Street to St Marys Street when the crossing gates were closed, as the station could be entered from this end via Station yard off High Street by the side of the GNR Stables.
A turntable was positioned on the north side of the station on the site of the enclosed car park. In 1884 canopies were built over the platforms and adjacent track supported on rows of slender columns on the platforms and between the tracks. Glass panes on the ridge gave light. They were removed in the 1960s.

I like the no-nonsense, workmanlike look of Michael Sparey's 1976 AEC Mammoth Major 3TG 8RT, 30- tonner, LOU 651P, with heavy-duty bumper seen here in Bristol in 1987. The Toyota on the right, which I think is a Cressida, is also a long gone motor from the same era as the lorry. The AEC was retired in 1988.
