3 Earth movers are staged and awaiting work at the Kellogg / Webb interchange construction in Wichita, KS
I Like construction equipment. It has so much detail within it. This day had a great deal of snow falling to add to the look.
Happy Slider Sunday
Sand Quarry…
We found ourselves at Island Lake In Orangeville hiking the well groomed trails that surround the lake.
in the distance we could hear the reverse horns of heavy equipment backing up and the sound of grinding and earth moving equipment.
As we crested the hill we saw the sand quarry; busy with activity, as machines and men scraped the earth and dug deep into the hills and landscape to extract the sand and gravel. to eventually be used for the building of the cities and towns of Ontario.

As seen near a service station on the M25 motorway at night and given a colour boost and slight blur treatment.
Just at the edge of our small but growing town is a pit. There are quite a few in our area. I saw this the other day and just had to grab a shot.
I loved playing in a sandbox.
Happy Truck tHuRsDay
The Caterpillar D11T bulldozer is an impressive earthmover. It's operating weight is 230,000 lbs and is powered by a 1200 cylinder engine rated at 935 hp. The dozer blade capacity is 35.5 yd3. The dozer is too heavy and large so it must be transported by another truck/trailer. This brand new dozer is heading to a mine in northern Alberta.
The Caterpillar D11T bulldozer is an impressive earthmover. This view gives a good look at the ripper attachment. The ripper can tear up rock, perma-frost (frozen ground), virtually any surface.
Sometimes I think photography is what strikes you at the time. You just drive around until you see something interesting.
This was one of those moments. Usually these are yellow to orange in colour.
Happy Saturday
During my visit this year (Oct 2019), earth movers were busily working on new water impoundments along the Kern River Flood Canal just west of the Tule Elk State Natural Reserve near Tupman, California. The Kern River is usual dry with most of the water taken out of it updstream except in wet years that have high amounts of spring run off. The impounds at the end of the river along the flood canal allow for water storage during these wet years and, according to a geologist I talked to, needed groundwater recharge. The sizes of the equipment working on the project were impressive.

Oh its been a wild and woolly week here my fine flickr friends - Sydney was thrown in natures cocktail shaker and whooshed round and round. It was RELENTLESS for 3 solid days - howling winds, non-stop rain, huge seas (up to 14 metre waves)...I LOVED it.
I wish I could have got more shots and when I did try to take some I seriously almost got blown away and was worried for my camera. Fingers crossed the next crazy cocktail we are served will be on the weekend ;).
I finally got back down to Bondi this morning and the sun was out and surfers back and there was 5 big earthmovers shovelling all the sand back on to the beach .

Even with the shutdown at Utac, CN had a backlog of moves between Duluth and Proctor on this sunny Saturday and ran an second daylight job besides the 0600 PRS. Here they go down the hill amidst muted fall color at Earthmovers with a trio of standard can Dash 8s, after swapping out power in Proctor Yard. Ducking under I-35 with Minorca limestone empties for Missabe Jct. are CN 2119, 2112, and 2104 on Oct. 3, 2015.

A trestle (sometimes tressel) is a rigid frame used as a support, historically a tripod used both as stools and to support tables at banquets. A trestle bridge is a bridge composed of a number of short spans supported by such frames. Each supporting frame is a bent. Timber and iron trestles (i.e. bridges) were extensively used in the 19th century, the former making up from 1 to 3 per cent of the total length of the average railroad. In the 21st century, steel and sometimes concrete trestles are commonly used to bridge particularly deep valleys while timber trestles remain common in certain areas. Many timber trestles were built in the 19th and early 20th centuries with the expectation that they would be temporary. Timber trestles were used to get the railroad to its destination. Once the railroad was running, it was used to transport the material to replace trestles with more permanent works, transporting and dumping fill around some trestles and transporting stone or steel to replace others with more permanent bridges. In the later 20th century, tools such as the earthmover made it cheaper to construct a high fill directly instead of first constructing a trestle from which to dump the fill. Timber trestles remain common in some applications, most notably for bridge approaches crossing floodways, where earth fill would dangerously obstruct floodwater. For the purposes of discharging material below, a coal trestle carried a dead-end track, rather than a bridge.

Appleton is a city in Outagamie (mostly), Calumet, and Winnebago counties in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. One of the Fox Cities, it is situated on the Fox River, 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Green Bay and 100 miles (160 km) north of Milwaukee. Appleton is the county seat of Outagamie County. The population was 72,623 at the 2010 census. Of this figure, 60,045 resided in Outagamie County, 11,088 in Calumet County, and 1,490 in Winnebago County. Appleton is the principal city of the Appleton, Wisconsin Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is included in the Appleton-Oshkosh-Neenah, Wisconsin Combined Statistical Area. Appleton is home to the two tallest buildings in Outagamie County, the Zuelke Building and the 222 Building, at 168 and 183 feet, respectively. Appleton serves as the heart of the Fox River Valley, and is home to the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, Fox Cities Performing Arts Center, Fox River Mall, Neuroscience Group Field at Fox Cities Stadium, Appleton International Airport, and the Valley's two major hospitals: St. Elizabeth Hospital and ThedaCare Regional Medical Center–Appleton (better known as "Appleton Medical Center"). It also hosts a large number of regional events such as its Flag Day parade, Memorial Day parade, Christmas parade, Octoberfest, Mile of Music, and others.
The high hoods are back! OSR 378 and 383, both ex-SOO GP7's, are back in service on the Ontario Southland Railway after three years' hiatus. Here we see the pair on the return from St Thomas after switching out cars for a couple of customers in town, hustling their train past an active construction site along county road 52. Thanks goes to Issac for pulling over, allowing me to satisfy both hyperfixations: earthmovers and choo's.
A backhoe loader, also called a loader backhoe, loader excavator, tractor excavator, digger or colloquially shortened to backhoe within the industry, is a heavy equipment vehicle that consists of a tractor-like unit fitted with a loader-style shovel/bucket on the front and a backhoe on the back. Due to its (relatively) small size and versatility, backhoe loaders are very common in urban engineering and small construction projects (such as building a small house, fixing urban roads, etc.) as well as developing countries. This type of machine is similar to and derived from what is now known as a TLB (Tractor-Loader-Backhoe), which is to say, an agricultural tractor fitted with a front loader and rear backhoe attachment.
The true development of the backhoe actually began in 1947 by the inventors that started the Wain-Roy Corporation of Hubbardston, Massachusetts. In 1947 Wain-Roy Corporation developed and tested the first actual backhoes. In April 1948 Wain-Roy Corporation sold the first all-hydraulic backhoes, mounted to a Ford Model 8N
The Caterpillar D11T bulldozer is large. it is 13' tall, is 20' long without its blade. The highway tractor and pick up truck driving by gives a bit of scale to the size of this earthmover.

Used this in a Seattlest Retake. Go check that out to read about Seattle vs. Mother Nature.
Long analogy. I didn't watch Twin Peaks when it was originally on TV. I watched Fire Walk With Me and then watched the episodes on cassette. So during all of the slow parts of the series, all of the angelic small-town scenes, I was freaked out and often screaming "RUN!"
That's how I feel when I see old photos of 1929. In December, the stock market crashed and ushered in the Great Depression and eventually World War Two. But for 11 heady months, the world enjoyed the peak of one of our greatest - and perhaps most fake - economic bubbles.
Our photo is from March 20, 1929. The Seattle Times of that day is a great case in point. On the front page, one story tells of a couple getting divorced in Chicago. The rich, "December" wife claimed that it was the bathing suit parties at her apartment that were the cause. The "May" husband said she just got angry when he made fun of her plans to buy a limousine, have it painted Persian pink, and add solid gold door handles. The debauchery and decadence seem only enhanced by page after page of alcohol-fueled organized crime stories.
In the old shot, Seattle has the hubris to make a third and final attempt to completely level Denny Hill. They succeeded, creating "the regrade" neighborhood.
Ads in the Seattle Times for W. A. Irwin realtors proclaimed "Down comes Denny hill, up go Realty Values!" It went on to say "Seattle is growing Northward, as are all the larger American cities. In twenty short years the retail center has moved from Yesler Way to Times Square... ever Northward."
Behind me is a parking lot at the northwest corner of 5th and Lenora. In August of 1929 it was sold for $180k to Eugene Gillman. Gillman (or Gilman) bought and sold properties furiously during the regrade time, turning them over in six months for 25% profit. But he tellingly dropped out of the news after the start of the Depression. The Times of August 25th said that he planned a "very fine improvement" for the lot. More than 80 years later, it still sits empty and is still owned by an investment company. The value had only quintupled to a million by 1980, and has quintupled again since. How long will they sit on it as an investment?
This area was killed by the city's attempt to make it valuable. First, landowners were taxed to pay for the regrade based on the increase in land value. Second, properties were leveled with attractive landmarks such as Sacred Heart Church (finally replaced in 1960) and the Denny School destroyed. Third, real estate speculators started exchanging property and jacking up land values. This created a black hole that was not filled in until Paul Allen quietly amassed enough property to personally choose to take action.
Sibbella Court, the lonely brick building, was completed in 1923. For three decades after the stock market crash the only news of this intersection was burglaries, car accidents, and boxing at the Western Athletic Club. Finally the monorail and trees planted for Century 21 turned the neighborhood, but development was still slow coming. The only exception was the simple masonry building next to Sibbella. An engineering firm built it in 1950. Now it's home to Seattle's favorite donuts, Top Pot.

We visited a train tunnel that collapsed leaving a road maintenance machine trapped. It is impressive to see how the cabin, which was the only area of machinery where there were people, only escaped from being buried. You can see on the channel of Abandoned Spain (Youtube) how we enter the tunnel to the machine and know a little about this history.
