SFG Train 565-27 and its three MLW RS18u's are digging into the grade out of Nouvelle-Ouest, with a big train of cement along with a large pick up of chips and lumber from the lumber mill.
With the engines in notch 8, the engineer is slowly getting the train up to track speed, as they head to Matapedia.

Early 40's Dodge trucks still had the option of handcranking to start the engine. Not sure if this option carried through the war or not.

Thanks for looking,

If you're in the swamp and hear this strange "Gonk a la gonk" noise, its probably an American Bittern cranking his tunes. Its humorous to watch this big balloon of air start from its stomach, travel up its throat and explode in this weird song.
I recently cycled the 100 miles from Berwick upon Tweed to Newcastle with this group of cyclists, most living with LVAD devices (see below if you would like to know more) , what impressed me most was their positivity. I say most, Luca, the guy at the top of the stairs had a heart transplant just one month before this image was taken, he completed the ride with gusto and he never stopped smiling. Kudos to all.
Background of the Electric Cranks Cycling Club
The Electric Cranks Cycling Club is a remarkable and inspiring community of cyclists who share a powerful bond: every member is living with acute heart failure and relies on a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) to support their heart function. Formed out of resilience, hope, and a shared passion for life on two wheels, the club represents a pioneering step in redefining what’s possible for those living with advanced heart conditions.
LVADs are mechanical devices that help pump blood from the left ventricle to the rest of the body, often used in patients with severe heart failure—either as a bridge to transplant or as a long-term solution. For many, the presence of an LVAD can feel like the end of physical ambition. But the Electric Cranks prove otherwise.
Founded by patients, supported by healthcare professionals, and united by determination, the club offers its members more than exercise—it offers freedom, camaraderie, and a sense of control in the face of chronic illness. The “crank” in the name refers not just to the bicycle crankset, but also to the inner drive of each rider—powered not just by electricity, but by sheer will and collective strength.
Cycling with an LVAD presents unique challenges—equipment adaptations, battery management, and constant medical awareness—but the Electric Cranks tackle these together. They ride not only to improve physical health and cardiovascular endurance, but also to break stigma, raise awareness, and inspire others living with heart failure to pursue active and meaningful lives.
The club rides regularly, supports new members with peer mentoring, and partners with cardiologists, physiotherapists, and transplant units to ensure all activity is safe and empowering. Their motto: “Powered by Heart and Electricity” perfectly captures the spirit of the Electric Cranks—a club that refuses to be defined by limitation and instead rides toward hope, health, and community.
Taken from the top of Crank, nr Billenge, a very hazy day. Normally on clear days, you can see many places clearly, Runcorn, Widnes, Liverpool, Ormskirk, Southport, Wigan and Greater Manchester, all perfectly viewable from here!

We had one of these when I was a child. Our ring was one long and one short. There were 6 or 7 people on our party line and each one had a different ring.
You could listen to the conversations of the others on your line and some women were bad about doing that. :-)
One of my contacts has posted a photo of a pay phone with a dial but a handset like this. You can see it in comments.
Crank Mill.
On Tuesday October 5th 1847 the Colonial Times and Tasmanian newspaper reported the following in regard to the Crank Mill at Norfolk.
"This Mill, said to be a device of the
philanthropic Maconochie - an engine, of torture worthy the Holy Inquisition is so repulsive in its operations that we are tempted to give a passing glance at it and its horrors.
It is (or was) worked by a hundred felons, after the fashion of the chain pumps of a man-of-war, but the resistance offered
was incalculably more exhausting :- this setting in motion the machinery for grinding maize-that merely discharging the water from the hold.
The picture of a line-of-battle ship's gun decks during the heat of action is tolerably startling, but it is but a mere watercolour sketch compared with the
demoniacal portraiture presented in the working room of Norfolk Island's Crank Mill".
Built in 1827 at the Kingston Pier as Commissariat Granary it was transformed just 10 years later as the Crank Mill with the purpose of “punishment of men in irons”.
It would serve more than just punishment for the unfortunate beings were tortured beyond belief.
On a daily basis 100 convicts were herded into the crank mill where under their cruel overseers they were forced to rotate the heavy capstan and two massively oversized metal grinding stones which milled to corn.
It would serve as a place of punishment until 1855.
Today the Crank Mill is heritage listed and is located in the Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) Kingston.
If you listen carefully you can be forgiven for thinking that you can still hear the haunting cries of convicts as they suffered inhumanity at the hands of their fellow man.

Tendría que cerrar los ojos, tendría que quedarme ciego y no recordar más que la imagen de tu ternura, debería guardar toda tu belleza en un pensamiento y no volver a ver más que tu luz, la que me enamoró.

Long after this mill on the Black River crumbled away, most of its dam still stands. Each of these rusty old mechanisms atop the dam raised and lowered a gate to control the flow of water
Walking the dog up on Crank hill in Billinge near to where I live during the recent cold spell.

No strings attached
To open the mind is to free the mind,
let the senses run free
and wild, if need be
for the pleasure is bound within a heart defined
to pass through these gnawing days
turning everything around
loosening all strings now unbound
under this Midas light of praise
to see beyond the elements we touch daily;
the rank and file of medial hysteria -
society's purveyance of our living area
now we part with the life lived so literally
to induce peace over the horrid reign of torrid pain
cranking up the life-flow
stoking-up the fire's glow
a heart is at pains to appease it's own dutiful strain
to give another chance to the life you wish to lead
unblenchingly positive from day one
high on the beautiful life just begun
with it's time-saving message to precede
to be the pleasure-seeking warrior of your own dreams
witness the fact in your own eyes
observe a today that tomorrow no longer denies
by rights, by virtues, by way of the optimism it redeems.

A container ship plus tug going up the Elbe River, Hamburg. Actually, the weather was atrocious with spray and drizzle obscuring the view. The lens (Elmar 50/2.8), however, and a bit of editorial work, increased visibility and created sharp contours you would not have seen with your naked eye. The camera cannot see what is not there, but what is there it sometimes can see better.
