Forge - Grinding
Here is one of that last shots from my first forging experience this past weekend in Regina, Saskatchewan. Forging steel is done by repeatedly heating steel and forcefully moulding it into shape. In this case, it is shaping it into a blade. By running the blade over a bench grinder, it gives the metal a nice shine in the right light.

KCS SD40-2 No. 3201 north leads five other EMD locomotives upgrade north of Cave Springs, Oklahoma. The grade has been roughly 1/2 percent for the last 30 miles, but will double for the next five miles into Stillwell.
The Ansted Spring and Axle Company used these giant grinding wheels in the manufacture of springs used on buggies, carriages and other horse drawn vehicles. Their Connersville, Indiana factory shipped springs and axles by the trainload. The Stant Mfg. Co., which brought the factory in the early 1940's, donated these giants to Robert's Park, a beautiful 80 acre site. There are so many of these wheels that they line the park roads.
Amtrak ACS-64 628 blasts east with a long-distance train through the suburbs of Baltimore.
Approaching the MARC station in Middle River, this is the daily sight along the Northeast Corridor of 2021.
The front of Loram rail grinder 405 is trailing on this westbound move. They weren't grinding during this move but in "transport" mode. This grinder has been working on the CN routes around Wisconsin. Since the Minneapolis Sub is essentially a long branch the grinder "backed" all the way to Withrow then swapped directions and ground the rails back to Owen.
At the time I took these I didn't know if they were heading back to the home base at Medina, MN or positioning to take a grinding pass. When they came back I wasn't ready for photos but watched them grind their way through. February 21, 2022.
20T grinds up the grade at Horseshoe Curve passing in both the foreground and background as they head east for Altoona and points beyond.
The daily M338 grinding up the short 1.4% hill between Raymond and Jesup, Iowa is putting out a lot of blowing snow as she cruises past Pilot Grove Rd which is near the top of the hill. This hill is one of the first of many many hills on the CN Dubuque sub, between Waterloo, and Freeport, IL
A single Union Pacific GE slowly grinds out of Elmhurst with a long westbound manifest. Halfway through the train was another GE similarly grinding its guts out.
An F-unit Friday abomination? Speno Rail Services F38PH-2M
No. RMS-101 and its rail grinding train gets some servicing by the crew at the east end of Conrail's DeWitt yard in Minoa on 2 October 1988. I think these shovel nosed units looked pretty good, a precursor to the Metra Winnebagos. Later they were rebuilt with home made bulging high visibility operator cabs that did nothing for aesthetics.
A few nice metal grinding images I discovered:

I think this is a grain mill. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
Journey of two german(?) travellers in the 1930s throughout many countries.

I got really curious when I saw some FBI agents swabbing blood samples from the ejection? chute on this critter. I decided to ask them why but then I saw Mohammed bin Salman sneaking away while hiding in the crowd. I'm no dummy so I put two and two together and figured that he and the orange don chucked Jamal Khashoggi into the works. Trump needs to be careful around MbS (Mister Bone Saw) because if Saudis no longer need Trump, bone saws would work as easily on him as Jamal Khashoggi although orange juice would squirt everywhere! I don't think there is enough bleach or hours to clean this implement! There was little left but spatters when he hit this end!
Here is another shot, if a bit grizzly, with the Belleville grain separator in the background I shot at the Dougherty Museum on #287, south of Longmont. It was built in 1926 by Harrison Machine Works, Belleville, Illinois. (see Wikipedia) That machine is supposed to separate the grain from chaff and straw and a crew tried to get the implement operating. That project looked like simply a case of two a'coming two a'going, two a'setting and two a'mowing. Boy the separator surely looked like a single farmer might be a bit overtasked to run it himself. From the looks, it appeared to be more of a strawmaker. Wheels spun and chaff sputtered. It was all belted up to a Case steam tractor and way it went. All of the hand painted doilies didn't seem to be helping but boy, did they make it look classy!
At the end of August, Dougherty had their end of summer blow out. Boulder County Open Space maintains and opens the museum on summer Fridays and weekends. They moved a load of their antiques outside and into the daylight which was a grand improvement especially for those with cameras. The museum started when Ray Dougherty started to acquire old automobiles. He finally branched out to antique farm equipment and early home entertainment devices.
This was a dandy day and I am glad eDDie jumped me to get down there at 9:00 on the stroke of opening. I was toasted after a couple of hours. Summer wasn't over. I must have been a little later than dead on time because folks were shuttling to park and around exhibits. My first trek was over to machinery I had yet to encounter this rig, a separator accordingly. From the size of it and I discovered later, it probably functioned better to separate farmers from their money than grain from the chaff. Well, later they cranked it up and tried it out! I bet it took some serious steam power to drive all these doodads.
Not the belfry this time, inside a post mill. This is the massive gear driven by the sails. The grind stones are underneath it.
