The Dyers stone quarry has long been a major carload supplier along the former Reading Belt Line. On a crisp August morning, a set of fresh-looking Conrail power, four GP38-2’s and an SD40-2, has dropped their empties at the quarry. Now the crew will assemble an outbound train most likely consigned to Conrail as ballast.
Project 365, 2023 Edition: Day 192/365
Dyes typically require heat for wool or other spinning fibre to take the pigment. Solar dyeing relies on heat from the sun instead of a hot steamy afternoon over the stove. So we have some peculiar lawn ornaments for a couple of days.
Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
In the medina of Marrakech I found this wool dyeing factory. The wool is intended for carpet knotting.
MNR 901 South has lost about half of it's track speed as it absolutely screams upgrade out of Oakfield Yard, seen here passing through Dyer Brook.
Powdered synthetic dye samples collected by the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation
1929-1975
Gift of John M. Andreas Estate
Since its inception in 1915, the Technicolor Motion Picture Corporation engaged its team of scientists in the search for a color scheme suitable to the projection of motion picture film. The researchers painstakingly worked to create a sophisticated dye-transter printing process, using many different combinations of dyes and dye solutions available from a number of international chemical companies.
The museum holds a magnificent set of 3,037 dye bottles collected by Technicolor over 45 years, during the heyday of the classical Hollywood era; a portion of those—1,788 to be exact—are on display here for the first time. Only a small number of these dyes were selected for the celebrated "look" of Technicolor films.
The Technicolor Corporate Archive was gifted to George Eastman Museum in 2009. The archive's notebooks, dye bottles, research files, cameras, and printing equipment supplemented the museum's existing holdings of vintage Technicolor cameras and film negatives. In addition, George Eastman Museum preserves the world's largest collection of original Technicolor 35mm film negatives, including the color separation negatives for Gone With the Wind and The Wizard of Oz, the latter of which is included in UNESCO's Memory of the World registry of cultural treasures.
At the Gypsy coffee house the one siting room with pillows has added the tie dye tapestry with the cloth tent ceiling this really pops off the wall.
Innocence, torn from me without your shelter
Barred reality, I'm living blindly...

Running around Sacramento's midtown on a winter's day...
Love these simple curved radius end neon signs...
The theme of Macro Mondays for 7/10 is dots. This is hands down the most colorful of the 6 possibilities for today.

Q642 is rushing through the jungles of Dyer, iN as he heads north. He's crossing the old abandoned Michigan Central and the very active CN's ex EJ&E back in July, 2014. He's in a hurry as he has only 30 minutes to clear the Monon Sub before the southbound Amtrak shows up. Two SD50s, both unrebuilt at the time, provide the muscle. The leader is a former Seaboard 50 and the trailer once wore Chessie paint for the C&O. To add a touch of pizazz, the 8542 has mismatched number boards, just for our viewing pleasure.
The Maine Northern southbound out of Oakfield roars past the old potato sheds at Dyer Brook, a longtime staple of shots from the Route 2 overpass. Unfortunately, these days, this shot, along with everywhere else, is becoming overgrown, while the potato sheds themselves are slowly losing the battle against Mother Nature. The power is a far cry from a photogenic quintet of Bangor & Aroostook F3s and BL2s, but nonetheless, HLCX SD40R 6340 and NBSR SD40-2 6319 have the 37 car train well under control as they steadily advance towards Millinocket.
Hides are dried and cured in the sun here, before being dyed in pits in the medina in Fes. The leather is then turned into many different products. See www.flickr.com/photos/halifaxlight/12488210603/in/set-721... for the pits beneath where the dyeing is done.
Trackside in smalltown America
In June 1999 the West Tennessee Railroad was all-ALCo/MLW. Enough reason to put it on my itinery. The two Canadian expatriates had replaced the aging RSD12. Three of the baby-Gators were serviceable backup units at Trenton and Humboldt.
The gleaming MLW M420W 3560 and 3510 were out on the line and I managed to track them down as they were switching at Dyer, Tennessee. The 3560 had a nice pound to the exhaust, almost mimicking a 16-251 engine.
As the crew was toiling about with a co-worker following in the golden F-150 I took this image at the College St crossing including Rail Road Bar and the Victory Chapel - Full Gospel. New cars to the left, the slowly crumbling smalltown literally on the other side of the tracks.
The buildings were torn down since.
Dyer, Tennessee.

“the redness had seeped from the day and night was arranging herself around us. Cooling things down, staining and dyeing the evening purple and blue black.” ― Sue Monk Kidd
Phaeolus schweinitzii is commonly referred to as Dyer’s polypore because it can be used to dye yarn or fabric. It is said to yield various shades of yellow, orange or brown. It is common in conifer woodlands where it parasitizes dead or dying trees. This specimen was particularly robust and colorful because of a large fir stump and recent rains.
The photographer's best friend, golden light, shines on K500, the now discontinued ore train, as it heads south through Dyer, IN, back in November of 2015. There's rumors that ore trains might be running again on CSX's Monon sub, since the processing plant in Reynolds, IN has been sold to new interests. I miss the variety that these former ore trains offered, running many times with unexpected foreign line power. You can see the shadows from those newly planted evergreens are lapping at the base of the rails. As the trees grow larger, they'll become more of a problem.
