What's wrong with this photo? 20 cylinder locomotives? pulpwood, with double stacks? "Customer Minded Employees" spelled out on the long hood, what?
The WC era was fading away like the logo on the nose of 7551 20 years ago on this day but evidence was still everywhere. The gondola of logs was picked up off the siding at Somerset taking its place ahead of the stacks. It's a fitting example of how WC would seek out what ever traffic there was to be had along their routes. January 5, 2002.
I really like this shot and particularly his expression. He was self-conscious ,yet didn't make a fuss.
Late night eating was not on my agenda, these gents (all lined up) working front of house in Piazza Navona in Rome were wasting time whilst waiting for customers. I liked the line up, the DOF with competition really appeals with star of the show in focus.

With the disappointing news recently that Rousselot will be closing their Peabody plant by the end of 2023 I decided I better make the effort to photograph CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 (technically I guess L055 now) making the trip up the Eastern Route to Salem and the freight only Danvers and South Reading Industrial Tracks to access the plant.
The closure of this plant will bring to the end all freight operations north of Everett Junction on the Eastern Route unless any new customers materialize along the commuter zone. With rail operations to end around June, well before the plant finally shuts down, now is the time to get out.
Having made the 17 mile run up from BET in Somerville via the Eastern Route mainline they then gingerly picked their way west (timetable east) at 5 MPH out the nearly 2.5 mile long branch to the plant. Here they are working in tandem with plant personnel using their car mover to pull seven empties and spot seven loads in this view seen from the Allens Lane crossing.
Holding down the job is CSXT's ex Pan Am GMDD GP40-2W MEC 507 (blt. Jul 1974 as CN 9472) which was given this mysterious retro fresh Guilford gray paint job at Waterville in August 2020 and has been frequently assigned to BO-1 since then.
Rousselot is the worldwide leader in gelatin production and has a dozen other plants around the world. This particular facility was owned by Eastman Kodak until 2012, although manufacturing has taken place on this site since 1812 when a glue factory opened here.
Kodak used the plant primarily for making a very pure gelatin used in photographic film, but the market for that has dwindled with the emergence of digital cameras. As recently as 2007, 95 percent of the gelatin it produced went toward film, but by 2011 that had been reduced to a 50-50 split between gelatin for film and for other products. During the last 10 years, the facility's production has also decreased dramatically, going from about 19 million pounds of gel in 1999 to 2.75 million pounds at the time the plant was sold.
However the shift from film pharmaceutical products had led to increased production in recent years and more inbound raw materials (bone chips and acid) arriving by rail so the recent news really came as a shock to many.
If you've not seen it, here is one of several news articles on the closing of the plant which has been in operation in some form for over 200 years! <www.salemnews.com/news/peabody-rousselot-plant-to-close-a...

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Dairy_Company:
Australia Dairy Company (澳洲牛奶公司) is a traditional Hong Kong restaurant, cha chaan teng, in Jordan, Hong Kong, specialising in steamed milk pudding, scrambled eggs, toast and custard dishes. The company was named by the founder, who had worked on an Australian farm in the 1940s.
The restaurant's brand name was coined from its high quality dairy ingredients being specifically imported from Australia. Founded in 1970 by the Tang family, it is one of the oldest restaurants in Hong Kong. It has been mentioned by The Guardian as one of the top 10 budget restaurants in Hong Kong.
The restaurant is notable for its efficient but often rude service, with a short average customer visit length of only 10 minutes. It is also famous for its signature egg custard pudding and scrambled eggs. It has been described as an iconic Hong Kong restaurant.

An East Valley mobile home was destroyed when severe monsoon storms swept through the area late Sunday night.
Aerial video from the scene near SR 87 and Gilbert Road shows the home reduced to piles of rubble with debris scattered across the property and roadway.
Overnight, emergency crews were seen at the residence taking a woman from the home by ambulance. Videographers at the scene say the woman was trapped under the debris when the storm hit. Her current condition is not known.
ABC15 is waiting for more information from local officials on the incident.
Nearby, large electrical towers along SR 87 were also toppled during the storm, causing an extended closure of the highway in both directions.
The area received about 1.42" of rain during the storm, according to the Maricopa County Flood Control District, and power was knocked out for tens of thousands of customers in the Valley.
