The Gulf Country is characterised by numerous turbulent wet-season rivers that pass over coastal lowlands to the Gulf of Carpentaria, but the headwaters are far distant. Beginning from the Northern Territory border, there is the Nicholson River, fed by tributaries from Lawn Hill (Boodjamulla) National Park and by the Gregory River from Riversleigh World Heritage area. Moving east, and then north into the Cape York Peninsula, there are: the Albert, Leichhardt, Flinders, Norman, Gilbert, and Mitchell rivers.
The outer limits of the Gulf Country's headwaters are marked very approximately on maps by the Barkly Highway, Flinders Highway, Kennedy Developmental Road, and the Peninsula Developmental Road. There are also the Wellesley and South Wellesley Islands (including Mornington and Bentinck Islands) north of Burketown.
Saline coastal flats fringe most of the Gulf, extending up to 30km inland in spots, most concentrated from the Burketown area to Karumba.
The coastal part of the Gulf was explored by Abel Tasman in 1644, but his Dutch masters rejected the place for trade or commerce. Matthew Flinders carried out marine and botanical surveys in 1802, described the hinterland as plains of promise and brought it to the attention of adventurous pastoralists. Ludwig Leichhardt travelled from Brisbane to Point Essington (Darwin) in 1844 and provided a comprehensive geographical report, and Augustus Gregory did the reverse journey in 1855. His dissenting voice about the potential of the plains of promise was ignored. The ill-fated Burke and Wills expedition (1861) predated the settlement of Burketown in 1866.
Most inland European exploration was done by invading pastoralists. The first inrush in the 1860s was defeated by stock losses and Aboriginal resistance. A second attempt in the late 1870s and the 1880s succeeded, replacing sheep with hardier cattle and inflicting 'frontier justice' on the Aboriginals. Inland, there were mineral discoveries at Cloncurry, Mount Cuthbert, Gunpowder, and many other sites. Mount Isa’s abundant deposit was not discovered until 1923.
Burketown was a customs post and administrative centre of Burke Shire (1885). Two years before, the Carpentaria local government body was established, running east from Burke Shire and north along Cape York Peninsula. Its administrative centre was Normanton, which became a freight-forwarding centre to mines in Croydon Shire (1887) and Etheridge Shire (1879). The other inland shires of the Gulf Country are (moving west from Etheridge), Richmond (1916), McKinlay (1891), Cloncurry (1884), and Barkly Tableland/Mount Isa (1914).
West of Burketown there is the Doomadgee Aboriginal Shire Council, population 1052 in 2006. Mornington Island Shire Council's population was 1032. Immediately north of Carpentaria Shire there is Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council with 1021 people (2006).
Railway connections from eastern Queensland to the Gulf have been dreamt of but incompletely realised. Normanton's little line to Croydon (1891) is a fondly regarded tourist attraction. The Savannahlander train from Cairns to Forsayth (Etheridge headwaters) is another tourist favourite. From the Townsville to Hughenden pastoral railway, extensions were pushed westwards to Cloncurry (1908), Dajarra, and Mount Isa (1915, 1924) and Mount Cuthbert (1916 - 1949), all with minerals in mind.

CSX G111 heads north up the RF&P subdivision on a pleasant Friday evening. These grain trains have recently started taking an alternate route via the RF&P, adding some additional interest to the line. The grain is bound for Brunswick for eventual forwarding to the feed customers in the Shenandoah Valley around Winchester, VA.
After finally getting permission through the Form Y, NS 220 begins to pull by the signals at CP Mableton on Main two. They followed the NS 175 into Inman Yard working the Class Yard instead of the Forwarding Yard.
The KCS SD70MAC was a nice catch despite the rain that was falling mixing with fog and pollen to make photography less then ideal.
Located near the airport in the southwestern outskirts of Mérida, the Ciudad Industrial is the city's biggest and busiest industrial area. It is also where the bulk of the Ferrocarril del Istmo de Tehuantepec (FIT) trafic originates and ends. Here, the crew of a northbound train is lifting cars from a siding for forwarding to Campeche and points north. The massive Bachoco chicken feed mill, an industry not currently served by FIT, stands in the background. On the right of former BCOL 3904 is the Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) gas-powered powerplant, which once received fuel by train before petroleum product trafic was embargoed for safety reasons. Consist : BOTX 3904, BOTX 1883.

FINALLY got this film back. It was postmarked July 20th, but with the move and mail forwarding, just got to me today. And as you can see, I'm mighty glad it did.

The FWWR's Dublin turn has pulled north of Cresson to drop their entire train in the small yard on the line to Fort Worth. This was a more challenging day for good light but full sun was shining from the west under this cloud deck overhead while the train pulled north. As it turned out, they not only set off their whole train but also dug out the blue GE fourth out in this shot to leave behind for forwarding to Fort Worth. Cresson, TX 5/19/18
Springtime clouds fill the sky and the breeze is westerly and brisk as the State begins drying out from an extremely wet winter. A short freight is probably forwarding left-over cars from Mormon Yard to all points west to Richmond. The short train has a an interesting mix of TOFC and a little bit of everything else on the drawbar.
The fog has just lifted at Snowtown as PN grain service 5404S from Broken Hill to Bowmans commences loading at Viterra's Snowtown facility behind 8248/DL50/DL41 on Friday the 13th of September 2019.
Unusually, this train loaded at two sites on the same day with the train later working to Bowmans after loading half of the consist at Snowtown. PN only ever did this once and the reason why is unknown, however this consist was one of three working into SA at the time to retrieve grain for forwarding to Manildra in NSW via Broken Hill and Parkes.

All four of P&W's C40-8's are handling CHFP at Westport, Ct., on Metro North's New Haven Line. The aggregate season has begun as the train is bringing 97 loads of stone to the Long Island market via "The Hell Gate Bridge Route" to the New York and Atlantic Railway at Fresh Pond, Queens for further forwarding to Long Island destinations.
CP SD70ACu 7011, wearing the retro Canadian Pacific "script" livery, approaches KK Bridge interlocking south of downtown Milwaukee. It is the lead and only unit on CP train 686, empty phosphate from (at least) North Dakota for forwarding to CSX in Chicago.
Norfolk Southern local train U41 is seen exiting the northern portal of Natural Tunnel near Duffield, Virginia, on the Appalachia district. The short local freight was forwarding a few empties for E. Dillon, in Swords Creek, Virginia, up to Andover Yard a few miles up the road. The view here is a rarity on any rail line. One of the few spots a railroad takes advantage of a geographical oddity for their right of way. Natural Tunnel is a nearly completely natural occurrence. The only portion not entirely left to nature is the small portal that the trailing engine is coming out of. Just the other side it turns right back out into a massive cavernous entrance to the other side. I'll have photos of that coming soon.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
The pair of CP Rail SD40-2Fs that the previous days G41 delivered to UP at Proviso for forwarding to Chicago Heights for scrapping somehow arrived back at Bensenville on the Y-PRCP on Saturday afternoon.
I've been around railroads for over 40 years now and logic is something I have learned that is in short supply.
There aren't that many afternoon westbounds that show up on the KP, so when I hear of them, and I've got free time, I'm more than happy to chase them for a while.
Here, the UP 7238 leads a Solomon-bound grain train (GSGVGE 03) on the Salina Sub through St. Marys, KS on Friday 11/6/2020. At Solomon, the train would be handed off to the KYLE for forwarding to the elevator at Glen Elder, KS.
Grain trains, elevators, vintage water towers, small towns and US 24 all make for a classic KP scene in Kansas.
URR 66MLA2 has doubled up their train of coke and now waits for the dispatcher to give them the "C1 out of Clairton" The C1 is the signal that leads the 2X lead, governed by the yard master at Clairton, to the mainline track that starts at the north end of the Plant. 66 crew runs two shifts a day and usually runs a consist of 5 MP15's and a split train of CSX and URR coke cars. The URR coke goes to USS ET works in Braddock, The CSX cars will be handed over to the CSX at Dexter yard for forwarding onto Gary IN and other USS locations.

66020 stands at Wellingborough in the early hours as the forwarding driver inputs his details with 6C32 from Mountsorrel to Radlett, GBRf were suppling the crews for DB Cargo for this service during 2019.
This train sure looked like an extra 517 arriving mid-day with nothing but autoracks and containers. They set out everything here at the west end of the autoport. It was L517 however and with the work done here proceeded light engines to Withrow. It seems to be an ongoing dance as CN takes a few different approaches to forwarding the traffic to the new facility, most often a mix of Minnesota traffic and New Richmond cars, other times no set-out, in this case no interchange cars, and occasionally an extra section terminating at New Richmond.

Today's story and sketch "by me" this morning I have volunteered to help on a cold missing persons case for Rescue Randy who is dating the missing persons wife he no longer wishes to date sense she has mentioned the "M Word" a few times,so I have traveled into another dimension via the space and time dimension jump stargate in the back of the man cave, traveling a light year and a half in search of Sweeney McGill who disappeared from Earth many years ago without a trace, no forwarding address and not even a letter to his wife Chandra and her 15 children from a previous marriage to a gypsy goat herder named Duffy "Scruffy" Freeburg, he disappeared from Indiana along with 457 Nubian Goats his gypsy camper van all went missing without a trace. Authorities had a few possible explanations for the disappearance, one he moved his operation to the greener pastures in Iowa, or he and the goats were abducted by a race of short grey aliens who really like goats, the other fourteen less likely explanations will have to be a story for another time. Randy who has missing persons connections throughout the galaxy and most known dimensions, believed Sweeney was selling Monster Moon Pies in Dimension Z-1956-2. And sure enough he seems happy selling Moon Pies to intergalactic tourists, and may not want to return to Earth the reason will have to be a story for another time, taa ta the Rod Blog.
A rather nice support heavy transport aircraft in the form of a French Air Force Airbus A400m Atlas. Originally planned for a short stop which now has turned out to be a couple of night's as the weather is poor along the forwarding route across the Atlantic. This aircraft is supporting the French Armee De Lair aerobatic team the Patrouille de France who are also at Lossiemouth along with a very nice French Navy Falcon 50.
The "BDS" or Blue Diamond Special sits in the yard at Yermo, CA in February 1974. SD40 3011 is joined by three BN locos, 2 SD40-2's and U30C. The BDS was a spiffy name for a lowly drag between Las Vegas and E. Los Angeles and the forwarding of wall board from the Blue Diamond plant in Arden, just south of LV, along with other tonnage.
I have been to the Palouse two times now, once in June and the other in late August. To say the experiences were different would be an understatement. In June, the farmland is all shades of green. When the wind blows, you can actually see the top of the crops moving, as if they headed in the direction opposite of where the wind is coming from. Although you can find the huge and powerful farm equipment here and there, there is not much of it in use. That is because the seeding was completed weeks before which created this "sea" of green across the landscape.
Fast forwarding to late August, everything has changed. The harvest was well underway. Brown replaced green as the dominant color. While many fields still had crops that could show the movement of the wind, more had the look of the farmland in this photo. Where there was an absence of large farm equipment in June, there was equipment everywhere cutting and hauling crops in large trucks. You knew where the the harvesting was happening by looking at the clouds of dust in the distance.
So, you might suspect that June is a better time to visit. On my first day of harvest, I would have agreed with you. By the end of my visit, I had a much better appreciation of harvest time, as I think that my initial reaction was more in shock at the change. I still prefer the spring season, but not by that much. I think that had I visited at the very start of the harvest (which is hard to predict) it might have been an equal match.
With PN's steel contact up for grabs soon, it was a logical idea to grab a shot of a MW/WM service. Following V/Line's 8620 by around 20 minutes, loaded PN Steel service 4WM2 crosses the Maribyrnong River Viaduct near McIntyre Loop with NR40/TT112/LDP007 on Wednesday the 29th of January 2020.
This service commences in Port Kembla and runs down to Melbourne via the Standard Gauge, with the loading transferred on to Broad Gauge for forwarding to Long Island. At the time of our visit, the Long Island BG service wasn't running due to a closure on Metro's Frankston line, however had just recommenced a couple of days prior to this photo, allowing 4WM2 to run.
