York Regional Bus Terminal at Bishop and Yonge, adjacent to Finch Subway Station. TTC, GO Transit and YRT/Viva buses are visible. Brampton Transit also served this terminal until September 2010.
I can't seem to ride over the Fourth Street Bridge without pausing to center this panorama in the Nikon F viewfinder.

The station and the train shed will soon be replaced with new structures which will look pretty much like the old ones.
This is part of a huge renovation project which started in 1995. The complete infrastructure of the 13.3 km long monorail line had to be replaced after 100 years of service. About 95% of this undertaking have already been finished. As of July 2012 the dismantling and reconstruction of the eastern terminus of the line has begun. This includes the renewal of the train shed with the storage sidings. The shed will be replaced by a modern construction which will be designed more or less in the traditional style. It will be much longer than the existing hall.
The project involves the capacity expansion and management of around 37 km of the A15 motorway between the Maasvlakte and the Vaanplein intersection.
Whilst waiting on the platform at Carlton I was planning on photographing the Manildra flour train but unexpectedly instead I got 8137 passing through with an empty Sydney Trains ballast service bound for Bombo quarry. Unfortunately I had no time to get in position for a proper shot so this was all i could get. A Mermec track inspection vehicle can be seen passing through in the background.
The Verrazano–Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge in the U.S. state of New York that connects the New York City boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn.
A line of enormous new light poles is being connected to provide a second connection between the Marquette Board of Light and Power and the national electric grid.
Braving frigid December temperatures a worker tightens a nut on one of the flat jacks around a pintle on the underside of a precast concrete shell that will become part of the Olmsted dam spanning the Ohio River between Illinois and Kentucky. The flat jacks fitted to the underside of the shells are used to adjust the elevation of the shells once they are lowered into the river.
Pedestrians are able to walk safely on the new pedestrian overpass over top of three lanes of traffic.
Normally, details like these are almost invisible. They're almost everywhere, so we pay no attention. I've started to notice them. And what puzzles me the most is, who keeps up with all the keys?

A 2014 study by Stockport Council and TfGM has raised the possibility of converting existing orbital neavy rail freight routes to carry tram trains. This picture is part of a series capturing before during and after any such conversion.( I may be extremely doddery by the time the after element is completed)
Reddish South looking north. Bordering a Morrisons supermarket to the west - seen to the left - the station is reduced to a mere platform served by a weekly parliamentary train run to avoid the expense and political approbium of closure. The line has been singled from south of Reddish to the far end of the M60 motoway bridge vat Denton. Tram trains would require this stretch to be redoubled. Disability discrimination law would require a complete rebuild of the station which is acessed by steps from the A560 road bridge.
The station platform had another running face - the track bed of which now buried under the garden on the left behind the picket fence, The formation ran through the vacant road bridge portal on the Morrisons side of the station. The former platform edge cab still be seen as a darker strip in the platform tarmac on the left.
Pictures of the station in a more complete state can be found here
An infographic I came across about how infrastructure may change in cities to reflect social use of technologies.
The MOL Majesty made history today at JAXPORT as the first containership to arrive at the port through the new, expanded locks of the Panama Canal. The ship docked at TraPac Container Terminal at Dames Point where crews unloaded and loaded cargo.
The 991-foot Majesty has a maximum capacity of 6,724 TEU (containers) requiring 46.5 feet of water when fully laden. The federal project to increase Jacksonville’s harbor to 47 feet to accommodate larger container vessels fully loaded is moving into the construction phase.
“The arrival of the MOL Majesty through the new locks is a reminder that this is a time of great growth potential for JAXPORT and Northeast Florida,” said JAXPORT CEO Brian Taylor. “We already have the infrastructure, highway and rail connections, labor options and efficiency that the international cargo industry demands, and we are on our way toward a harbor depth that will accommodate ships like the Majesty at capacity, creating jobs and opportunity.”
More than 1 million containers move through Jacksonville's public and private marine terminals annually. Jacksonville offers worldwide cargo service from more than 40 ocean carriers, including direct service with Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, the Caribbean and other key markets.

Trucks are the mobile part of our national infrastructure. Virtually everything is moved by truck at some time in its life cycle. I was a truck driver for 10 years and hauled all kinds of stuff about 1 million miles. Paper products of all kinds, Electronics, Potatoes, Fish Food, TV Guide Magazines, Groceries, Bulk Wheat, etc.
Before the project began, collisions along the corridor averaged about 215 a year. In 2010, the year following the project’s completion, that number plunged to 73 – that’s a 66 per cent drop.
