Titan Clydebank is a 150-foot-high (46 m) cantilever crane at Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It was designed to be used in the lifting of heavy equipment, such as engines and boilers, during the fitting-out of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard. It was also the world's first electrically powered cantilever crane, and the largest crane of its type at the time of its completion.
Situated at the end of a U-shaped fitting out basin, the crane was used to construct some of the largest ships of the 20th century, including the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Elizabeth 2. The Category A Listed historical structure was refurbished in 2007 as a tourist attraction and shipbuilding museum. It is featured on the current Clydesdale Bank £5 note.
Thank you very much for your kind comments 👍.
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.
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.
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!

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.

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".
Hibernia is a collaborative worldbuilding exercise between Taysuune, Mechanekton, Dryvvall, Shannon and myself
Towel is to protect me from the dust and the circular saw was used to cut the tiles on right size for these who wonder.

Some of the heavy equipment that use to be used with the ferries is just rotting - would think it could at least be sold for scrap.

I think one piece frames the other nicely. I tried to show the abstract confusion of industrialization
WNYP 426 is obviously the biggest piece of heavy equipment in view as it pauses at the gate to go down the spur to Diamond Packaging in Henrietta, NY on October 24, 2024.

This micro lumber harvester is based loosely on a Caterpillar 538.
It was built to fulfill the requirements for "RRT Extraction unit - Lumber" in the ongoing DA4 game. The bulldozer is present to fullfill one of the requirements for the diorama - it is a piece of firefighting equipment (dozers are used to build fire lines to fight wildland fires).
To fill the remaining requirment, I include the following song:
Brewtopian Lumberjack Song:
We wake up in the morning
and have a mug of beer.
We eat a pound of bacon
and pack up all our gear.
We head out to the forest,
where we work a long, hard day.
Chopping, cutting, hauling -
That's how we earn our pay.
But when the sun goes down,
we head back to the base,
where a giant keg is waiting
so we can get sh*tfaced.
Oh, beer, beer, beer,
it gets us through our day.
Beer, beer, beer,
There is no other way.
