Destined for Marine City, the GREAT REPUBLIC is upbound at the Ambassador Bridge on a fine fall day.
The salt marshes of Aigues-Mortes are devoted to the production of quality sea-salt, essentially destined for the food trade.
The water pink colouring is due to the proliferation of the micro-organisms of a microscopic algae variety called "Dunaliella salina".
On the salt marshes also the exploitation of the Artemia Salina complements the salt producing activities. Artemia salina is a species of brine shrimp – aquatic crustaceans. It is a very old species that does not appear to have changed in 100 million years and is native to saline lakes, ponds and temporary waters in the Mediterranean regions of Southern Europe, Anatolia and Northern Africa..
The Camargue is a region where evaporation is the most intense and rainfall the weakest.
The salt production in Aigues-Mortes goes back to Antiquity. Peccius, a Roman engineer at the start of the Christian Era, was put in charge of organising salt production.
In 1856, the different salt marsh owners associated to found the Salins du Midi (Saltworks of the South).
Each year Aigues-Mortes produces 500,000 tons of salt, making it a worldwide benchmark.
With the development of the chemical industry, salt production became one of the biggest activities in the Camargue. Chlorine, soda and salt extracts enter into the composition of many chemical and pharmaceutical products. .

Destined for the Trackwork improvements in the Brampton area, north of Halesworth and part of the nine day blockade on the East Suffolk Line.
A local destined for customers along the north end of the line toward Winston-Salem. A nice pair of SDs for power coming out of the east end of the yard at 5th Street.
I was destined to stand at this location along the Washington coastline. I was a young boy when I first saw a picture showing this enchanting spot. Since then, I've always wanted to see it in person. As it turns out, I saw the same picture on the map the park ranger gave us when we arrived at Olympic National Park last week. I was thrilled.
The following day we rose early and drove 41 miles to get out to the coastline. It was a cool misty morning. Huge pieces of driftwood were piled along the bottom of the trail making it difficult to get to on to the beach. The tide was out and it was very quiet except for the sound of the occasional seabird. There were only a few people out at this hour. As I gazed at the scene before me I was momentarily overcome with emotion. It took me a while to get here--almost 60 years--it was truly a magical experience..

Eastbound extra piggy back train destined for the ramp at Wood Street in downtown Chicago. They are about to bang across the diamond crossing with the Milwaukee Road at Second Street Tower. Clinton was such a cool place back in the day and I got to witness a lot of it early in my rail photography as my Mon liked to shop here. It was a 30 mile drive from our house in Illinois and I always liked crossing the big bridge over the Mississippi River coming into Clinton. She would drop me off near the BN-RI station and return a few hours later. This is a B&W conversion of a crappy Ektachrome 64 slide scan.
Destined for Ashtabula, the KAYE E. BARKER is downbound on her first trip for the 2021 season, sporting a fresh coat of paint.

The barrel is hollow, and stud sized. The opening is bar sized.
Jawas may or may not have used these. I don't know where they got the SMLEs to modify into this shotgun, but the Jawa are a clever people.
No.31 destined for the NS interchange at Asheville is just starting their day building their train at Canton. Reflecting in the Pigeon River is the road's largest customer, a paper making plant operated by Evergreen Packaging.
Westbound train destined for Luther Yard in north St. Louis passes over the newly upgraded Merchants Bridge.
(Aside: can this bridge be rightly called the "Merchants" Bridge anymore? All three original spans were removed and replaced, all approaches have been upgraded/modified, and the St. Louis Merchants Exchange, the original owners of the original bridge, is no longer in existence. I think the bridge needs a new name.)
(Also: it's kind of a shame that westbounds will pretty much only ever use the far track, especially if they're headed to Luther Yard. Photographically speaking, it would be nicer if they could use the near track.)

Boeing brought the first Dreamliner destined for Bangladesh Airlines as S2-AJS to Farnborough, seen here doing its demonstration flight with US reg N1015B.
Originally destined for Russian flag carrier, Aeroflot as VP-BYB, This A350 now flies for Turkish Airlines wearing this hybrid livery. By now, I am sure we all know why they never took delivery of this aircraft... Arriving from Istanbul as "Turkish (THY) 75D Heavy".
"Aurora" bi-mode multiple unit 810004 (destined for East Midlands Railway) heads south round the Offord Curves north of St. Neots, working 5Q33 09.46 Old Dalby - King's Cross. [Pole, 3.5/6 sections (~4.7m)]
This GBRf-operated test run returned north as 5Q34 12.21 King's Cross - Old Dalby. The unit had visited Skegness the previous day, and Lincoln the day before that. During this part of today's outing, it is running on electric power - the raised pantograph is just visible at the back of the train.
I'm not a massive fan of the new Hitachi-built units based on the IEP design, and even less so of EMR's purple livery, but I don't expect there will be many occasions where a class 810 runs on this line. So on a sunny day, I had to make the effort to get a shot - and the cant of the track on the curve and fairly side-on sun angle has illuminated the dark livery quite well (despite it being 11.30am four weeks after the summer solstice) and it stands out in the greenery.

I wanted to make something that was completely bricks in frame. Half because I hate editing photos and half because I'm such a Keith Goldman fanboy. Hope you enjoy the sci-fi nonsense.

The CA-87 is overmolded, with hollow barrel (bar sized hole, stud sized barrel). The T21 & T21-B have hollow barrels, and the T21-B has a removable sight which fits the T21 as well.
If you are going to Rosslyn Chapel I hope that you have a great visit and if you have a chance do walk in the Roslin Glen. The Castle and the Chapel retain the older name of Rosslyn and the contemporary village has the newer name of Roslin.
If you are on the Western Bank of The North Esk river you can visit The Wallace Cave. There are several Wallace Caves in Scotland. There is only one Wallace Cave in Roslin Glen. There are also caves under Hawthronden Castle.
There is a legend of a Black Hen, don’t say Pullet, that is noted as confusing treasure seekers and grail hunters by digging holes to false terrain the site and to fill in half dug holes for when seekers return to complete their excavations and further still through special skill to carefully indicate the better and best grounds to explore through careful talon and beak soil manipulation. There are further tails of either this Black Hen, or of another such similar still don’t say Pullet, Black Hen, maybe there is just the one, or possibly there are a pair of magical soil shrouders at work? The other hen story relates to a treasure hidden under a stair. The exact stair can be correctly deduced in a manner not fully revealed within the story. Any stair testing and excavating can and will lead to the Black Hen II, this time the truth will not out*, moving the treasure when the excavators are in the right area and also the hen will bamboozle the grail hunters with special Holy Hen Acts that will confuse, strain, enrage and bring chaos to order and the ‘BH II’ wonder guard will clear up after the said chaos and restore all to proper order til the right, maybe even righteous, approach of the mythic legendary treasure grail hunter seekers who are destined to step on the right step at the right time in the right manner possibly with the left foot.
Please only read good humour and faithful following in my words above. I have followed signs to Rosslyn Chapel and parked when there were just a few spaces next to the old barn and byre. I have wandered in the beauty of the landscape and listened to the stories and here share some quickly to say that this is a place of beauty and of mystery, both of folly and of faith with a river bend bringing out rock inscribed from thousands of years ago to natural and extended caves, with castles and chapels, formerly and currently hosting services and battles til a part of the past seems to have been deeply woven here such that we choose to look at it again and again making pilgrimage and enacting rampage all engaged through marvellous mysteries and eldritch histories far beyond our fascination and into our fine fashioned fulgent fabricated fantasies.**
*Black Hen I also assured that the truth would not out, Black Hen II is not a fully fledged sequel as of course it could be one Hen, not a Pullet, successfully stealth working both grounds and stairs.
**Please do not test the Hen, or Hens, not Pullets, as you could be destroying a beautiful and historial protected place that is best left none Hen tested and none destroyed. Age, atmosphere and our antecedents have done more than enough destruction and also they had with them those that fought to give enough preservation and conservation too.

Unit ethanol train 650 destined for Albany is southbound on the old Delaware and Hudson Railroad crossing the river that is half its namesake here at about MP 55 on the modern day CP's Canadian Main.
Leading the train is CP 6232 a standard cab EMD SD60 blt. Mar. 1989 as SOO Line 6032. And if that wasn't enough she was trailed by two more modern strangers to these parts in Southern Belle livery: KCS de Mexico EMD SD70ACE 4132 blt. Sep. 2012 as an EMDX demonstrator and KCS 4584 a GE AC4400CW blt. Nov. 1999.
The wild trio are seen here crossing the shorter and more northerly of two bridges spanning the twin channels of the Hudson River, one on each side of Rogers Island that they are passing through. The river here forms the boundary between the town of Fort Edward to the north (on the right) from the town of Moreau on this side of the river.

I was photographing this old abandoned home that is destined for the bulldozer. I’m trying to determine it’s history to see if it would be part of my historic buildings project. This day I was scouting the location and taking a few photos. I heard a noise and looked up in time to sidestep a tractor driven by an angry land owner. He threatened to run me down if I didn’t “get off his land and stop taking pictures of this building”. Speaking calmly I tried to explain that I was on a public sidewalk, not on his property, and that I was not breaking any laws. He was not open to discussion and grabbed a shovel from the back of the tractor. He yelled that he would crack my head with it. I was not making any headway with the old farmer so decided it best to leave before the situation got really ugly. What I was doing was completely legal here in Canada. I was on public property photographing a long abandoned building .. but sometimes it’s best to back down when faced with a crazy old farmer swinging a shovel.

Four-car Bamberger Railroad train destined for the Lagoon park 1940s. Note the kids hanging out the rear doorway, this was "Tootsie Roll Day" a round trip ticket to the railroad-owned Lagoon amusement park for only ten cents, plus you got a Tootsie Roll or a package of Cracker Jacks!
B&W print in my collection from the late Gordon Cardall who worked as motorman on the Bamberger for many years,
I think I was destined to shoot analog medium format. It just feels so much closer to me than digital. Maybe it's the slowed down process... Idunno. I just need to practise my focussing skills and all might finally fall into place.
Sorry for being a bad contact, will try to catch up with everybody soon.
BNSF 3031 departs Garden City Kansas with the Dodge City local. The road local runs from La Junta Colorado to Dodge City Kansas.
IHB 3861 and 4018 are in charge of a relatively short BP4, destined for UP's Proviso Yard, as they initiate a rolling meet with a CSX stacker at Kedzie Ave in Blue Island, Illinois. The 3861 has been of particular interest to me as it's the Harbor's last non-genset six axle motor and is rumored to be retired soon. Bonus points for me is its ex-MILW lineage.
So I wrote up a huge description of all the B.S. leading up to this photo. But it was so long I figured no on would read it...I mean this is already long enough. Basically, I was overly confident, incognizant of developing train movements, and unaware of alternative escape routes. So I nearly got blocked in by trains hanging out at Seeley Ave.
But that wasn't the end of it. After dealing with all the B.S. of almost getting blocked in, I still made it up on Kedzie with plenty of time. However, I noticed a lineup up through BI MT1 and ATCS revealed that EB was rolling through Ridge. Now, obviously I wasn't worried about being blocked in here. Rather, I was worried about the lights being on dim for the meet, which with me being too picky about my own damn photos, is unacceptable.
By some shear luck, the EB CSX stacker was moving right along and completed their rolling meet with BP4 about midway into the widest frame I could get. And of course the last bit of luck being the engineer remembering to turn the lights on. All in all, everyone was able to get the frames they wanted. A good finish to the fight.

UP 3057 is technically the DPU on this northbound set of coal loads destined for the Columbia Power Plant near Portage, Wisconsin although you can't tell it from this angle. The leader was a sharply painted UP 5364 but since that was running away from the light, this SD70AH-T4 was still neat enough to be worth a little time to try this shot this morning. The train is rolling along the west bank of the beautiful frozen Mississippi River valley at the south siding switch for the railroad siding location of Edmore. This siding is immediately adjacent to the John Deere Plant (the areas largest employer) on the north side of the City of Dubuque, Iowa, on the Canadian Pacific Marquette Subdivision.
For many, many years the BNSF (and the BN before) had the primary contract for supplying Powder River Basin coal for the Columbia Power Plant near Portage, WI. Somewhere circa 2010 (I'd have to look up the exact year, though please chime in if you know!) the UP won the contract away and instead of the BNSF trains running on the CP from St. Paul, the UP started running trains to Clinton, IA where they get on the CP for the trip North of LaCrescent (La Crosse) and make a right turn for Portage.
But in mid 2022 the BNSF won the contract back again, and the railfan rumor was that these UP trains would be done by July 2022. However, while they are definitely nowhere near as frequent, there still continue to be the occasional UP train running via Dubuque/Marquette like this one 7 months later - apparently there must still be some amount of tonnage left on the contract. Either way, Alliant Energy is working on winding down the Columbia Plant as the coal era continues to shrink; they originally announced in 2021 that Columbia Generating would close in 2025, through then in mid 2022 they extended that to 2026. Time will tell when the last coal trains to the plant run, but when I find a good-looking unit on these trains (they're often pitiful looking yellow bricks) I try to shoot them when I can, as they definitely won't last forever.
CP 6017 leads a westbound grain train, destined for Ensign, KS, up the grade between Peabody and Walton, KS. Shortly after knocking down the signal here the train will hold the main for an eastbound stack that has been awaiting their arrival.
Had it not been for a fellow railfan in the Kansas City area I would have never known this train was coming. Sharing information has become an integral part of railfanning today and having the ability to interact with other fans down the line is invaluable.
Location: East Walton, KS
Train: CP 6017 West
