A view of the three main buildings of the Peoria Waterworks constructed between 1890-91 and 1913. On the left is the Richardsonian Romanesque Pumping Station #1, and on the right i the Main Well House. Both structures were erected in 1890-91. The center building, Pumping Station #2, was erected in 1913. All three buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
History: In 1843 the Illinois State legislature chartered the Peoria Water Company. The system remained publicly owned until 1890 when the entire system belonging to the City was sold to two eastern capitalists who agreed to straighten out the utility's finances and construct needed additional facilities.
The new owners reconstructed the entire water system at this site along the Illinois River less than 5 miles north of downtown Peoria. The three principle buildings are shown above. The complex is still in use today and is owned and operated by American Water, a public utility company operating in the United States and Canada founded in 1886.
With a 2020 population of 113,150 (402,391 metro), Peoria is the seventh largest city in Illinois and is the largest city on the Illinois River. It also is the seat of Peoria County. Prior to prohibition, Peoria was the center of the whiskey industry in the United States. More than 12 distilleries operated in Peoria by the end of the 19th century, more than any other city in the U.S.
A major port on the Illinois River, Peoria is a trading and shipping center for a large agricultural area that produces corn, soybeans, and livestock. Although the economy is well diversified, the city's traditional manufacturing industries remain important and produce earthmoving equipment, metal products, lawn-care equipment, labels, steel towers, farm equipment, building materials, steel, wire, and chemicals. Until 2018, Peoria was the global and national headquarters for heavy equipment and engine manufacturer Caterpillar. The city is associated with the phrase "Will it play in Peoria?", which originated from the vaudeville era and was popularized by Groucho Marx.

Heavy equipment driving over this trestle during the rebuilding of the trail has collapsed some of the decking. The plywood in the center, which is there to protect the decking from the tracks of snowmobiles, provides a safe path across this trestle.
As a kid I played in the dirt with toy trucks so how could I pass this going on? Man, they moved a lotta dirt!

After a bit of a wait for traffic ahead - and for the dispatcher to finally answer the radio so they could get a new warrant - the CP 6241 and CP 6306 are finally moving down the mainline near the north end of the siding at Harpers Ferry, Iowa. The BAL-05 with it's two sets of GREX belt cars are loaded with rock from the Waterloo, Wisconsin pit on the WSOR. The north end of Harper's Ferry is adjacent to a sand pit currently owned by northeast Iowa contractor Skyline Materials/Bruening Rock Products. The Mississippi River Valley in this part of the world has quite a few quarries and sand pits, thanks to the sandy deposits at the bottom of the bluffs and the limestone and other harder rocks that make up the bluffs and make for good building materials.
The train is passing the head end of a 377 hopper train that has been stuck in the siding for a bit while waiting for three trains to pass - and there were two more trains down at Marquette meeting as well headed for the Mason City sub. It's been busy times on the modern CPKC lines along the west edge of the Mississippi River Valley, and this ballast is being moved to support more of the expansion and upgrade efforts.
Toiling away deep in the Cliffs mill at Burns Harbor is this former GTW SW9. Equipped with remote control, the operator waits for the operator of the Manitowoc Vicon 4100w crane on the left to complete a lift of the dock ladder that was just removed from the Purvis Marine hopper barge in lower left. Once the ladder clears, the switcher will quickly disappear back into the mill, well out of view. Coordination is key in this industry and in only 45 minutes eight slabs were loaded in that barge.
No heavy equipment required. Repairing underground landscape irrigation pipes ain't easy as it looks. Remember, measure twice, cut once.
To give the guy some credit though, he told me this wasn't his job. He's a heavy equipment mechanic. But somebody at CalTrans, in their infinite wisdom sent him out to the old Dumbarton bridge to fix these irrigation pipes.

The Heavy Hauler Four Track Delivery Vehicle was initially designed for hauling bulk goods long distances using simple, easy to replace 3D printed components. Developed to be entirely domestically produced on Hibernia, it marks Jiangmen Heavy's first foray into Licensed On-Planet Production.
The vehicle has found a niche in the Hibernian economy for hauling standardized containers. Seizing on the adoption of the HPLS, or Hibernian Palletized Load System, operators of the HH4TDV have retrofitted the cargo decks to readily accept the standard containers, while retaining their nonstandardized load capabilities. As it is currently one of the highest capacity vessels on-planet, it has earned the nickname "Hibermax".
