A loaded fertilizer train crosses Old Geyser Creek west of the town of Geyser on the former Great Northern line between Great Falls and Laurel. The unique geological feature distant right is known as Square Butte. I narrowly got this in sun by seconds and was not as fortunate on the next few shots of this guy...

One of the neoregelia bromeliads in the garden. The tiny leaves of the pomegranate tree above fall into it; they decompose in the water between the bromeliad leaves and provide the plant with nutrients.

My last posting for 2021 and I wish all friends here a safe and healthy new year, in which things will hopefully improve.

An empty fertilizer train out of Benkelman, NE, pulls into the Iowa Fertilizer's nitrogen fertilizer plant near Wever. This is a brand new fertilizer plant that opened up in 2017 on the BNSF Hannibal Sub about 13 miles south of Burlington, IA. The train has pulled into the loop track to spot the train and un-DP the train that is 1x1. Iowa Fertilizer has on their web-site that this is the 1st greenfield nitrogen fertilizer facility constructed in the United States in more than 25 years! Looks like the Burlington Junction does the in-house switching for this plant. They switch crew had to clear off this loop track so this empty could yard.

A bit of Mist on the fields will make things grow better next season. But it only works in Germany and a select few other places! At least the Germans insist it does. If you ask me, it's probably bullshit.

Two pass-the-pigs pigs, some garden fertilizer crystals, and a Taboo game card. Pink stuff for Macro Mondays.

Note: There is a "Pig" game card in my edition of Taboo, but it's blue.
