World's first steam powered clock
The insides of this clock is where the magic begins....
Built in 1977. Raymond Saunders' first steam clock was built in 1977 to solve the issue of a steam vent in a popular sidewalk for the renovated Gastown district of Vancouver. Owned by the City of Vancouver, BC Canada
The steam clock's plaque reads:
THE GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK
Designed and built by
Raymond L. Saunders
Horologist
The world's first steam powered clock has been created for the enjoyment of everyone. The live steam winds the weights and blows the whistles. Every 4.5 minutes one steel weight will travel by steam power to the top of the clock. The gravity driven "falling ball" drive was 'engineered' by Douglas L. Smith. Each quarter hour the clock will sound the Westminster Chimes. The large whistle will sound once on the hour. The steam is supplied by the underground system of Central Heat Distributor's Limited. The component parts cost $42,000 and the clock weighs over two tons.
A few years ago the clock was refit and is not entirely steam powered. It also has three small electric motors to help operate two internal fans, one of which blows the steam out the top, and another that controls the valves that play the tunes on the five steam whistles mounted atop the clock case.
The large central whistle, which was taken off the CPR steam tug Naramata, counts off the full hours while the four auxiliary whistles chime the Westminster Quarters every quarter hour. The number of chimes matches the number of quarter hours that have passed.
Gastown is the original settlement that became the core of the creation of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Currently, it is a national historic site and a neighbourhood in the northwest end of Downtown Eastside, adjacent to Downtown Vancouver.

The Nachtigall colliery is located at the entrance to the idyllic Muttental in Witten. Ruhr mining began here more than 300 years ago. First, horizontal tunnels were driven into the mountain to get to the “black gold”, and then vertical shafts.

Special:
- In 1930, the Duce had called the senator of the Kingdom of Italy Giovanni Agnelli to inform him of the "absolute necessity" to motorize Italians with a cheap car that did not exceed the cost of 5,000 lire.
- The base “500” was designed (in-house Carrozzerie Speciali) by Dr. Dante Giacosa in the ‘30s, officially named “500”, but it became so popular, the Italians cosy named it “Topolino” (“little mouse”), in honor of Mickey Mous (1936-1948).
- All “American styled” C-Series 2-seaters has a sliding roof.
- The 500C Series was available as this Topolino and as Giardiniera (“gardener”) Belvedere (1949-1955: 122,837 units built).
To me, at least, one of the most frequently seen ships on the River Thames: my first experience of it (as shown on Flickr...) is 2003, when it was orange; later in part orange, part royal blue, now as here, which is quite sleek and very dashing.
I've very limited info about Distributor; it was built in 1997 but I don't know where,
Shot (yesterday) as it passed between Gravesend and Tilbury Docks it shows on Marine Traffic now as moored a short distance down river of Denton Wharf.

CYXX 2109 is a former Pennsylvania Railroad GP30. Unused on the weekends, they normally operate 6am-2pm M-F. Conrad Yelvington is largest distributor of aggregate in the state of Florida. Each year they move more than 5 million tons through a network of rail served terminals.
The V60 leads two covered gondolas down the sidewalk back toward the Kornwestheim freight yard after switching steel distributor Lotter.
CYXX 2104, a GP30, is one of two switchers present at the Conrad Yelvington Distributors in Jacksonville, FL. The other switcher, carrying the same paint scheme, is an Alco RS1 rebuild of some sort which they don't seem to use quiet often. As usual, I did a little trip through the woods and some shrubs to find a spot to catch these guys switching. I found this spot and caught CYXX 2104 push a string of hoppers that had just been unloaded onto a different track. In the background you can see some of Downtown Jacksonville.
I took a couple this afternoon after getting off work and figured I'd share them straight away due to the juxtaposition with yesterdays post. On my way through Gilbert I happened upon some well lit Hamms signage and pulled off the road for a quickie. 5 degrees below zero.
