On 18 July 2004, I believe just a few months after entering service, a roof panel become detached from D1051, and wedged under the pantograph. The train (M25/M23) was stopped at Ashfield where the offending panel was presumably removed.
This was taken on a point and shoot before I really knew what I was doing with a camera. ;)

Press Release l June 21, 2018
Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing Challenges AIIB’s Reckless Lending:
People Vow to Resist Attempt to Usurp Natural Resources & Livelihood in the Name of Development
Mumbai: Political and social activists, academics and financial analysts included, a large number of people gathered at the inaugural of Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing in Mumbai, ahead of the Annual Meeting of Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), decried investments of AIIB and other international financial institutions (IFIs), causing displacement, dispossession loss of livelihood and propelling inequality and social unrest.
Speaking at the occasion eminent economist Professor Arun Kumar, questioned the development model pushed ahead by IFIs in the pretext of ‘development for all’ as their only aim is profit-oriented growth at any cost. He raised the pertinent question of ‘development for whom’.
“AIIB has created a super structure, an ecosystem which acts as a complex web of shining terminologies and projects to attract investments, which actually is a smoke screen to hide the fact that there’s no human development happening” senior activist Medha Patkar said in her speech.
Raising concerns at the crackdown of activists by the government, she lamented, "Show us one state where the people opposing the projects have not been jailed to raise their concerns about the environment, and right to life and livelihood. Recently, people were fired upon in Thutthokodi, Tamil Nadu, when they demanded a pollution free environment to live”.
Financial analyst and journalist Sucheta Dalal said that the Indian banking system is at the verge of crisis, reeling under the mounting bad loans, caused by unfettered corporate loans. Referring to government’s announcement in the Parliament that Rs. 2.4 lakh crore bad loans are written off, she said that “ if farm loan waver was proposed the world would have gone on a spin, while the loans of big corporations are written off and there isn’t a whimper.”
The inaugural ceremony of the three-day Convention started with music of resistance by cultural groups. Other speakers included Sreedhar, Environics Trust; Shaktiman Gosh, General Secretary, National Hawkers Federation; Leo Colaco National Fishworkers Forum / World Forum of Fisher-people; Roma, National Secretary, New Trade Union Initiative (NTUI).
Senior activist Ulka Mahajan asked, "Is land a commodity to sell to forcefully silence farmers by giving them some compensation to build infrastructure project?” She added "the land feeds generation of people by providing food,” while reminding that it will be difficult to bring back the fertility of land. "If raising issues of the marginalised is sedition, then we will continue to do it,” she emphasised.
The Peoples’ Convention on Infrastructure Financing is a 3-day confluence of people’s movements, civil society organiations and concerned citizens to deliberate about international financing and strategise a collective voice to hold these financers accountable for their impacts the lending is causing.
Background:
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the two-year-old multilateral bank, is investing in all major sectors, including energy, without robust policies on environmental-social safeguards, transparent public disclosure and an accountability/complaint handling mechanism. Out of the total 24 projects, it has financed, USD 4.4 billion has already been approved. India is the biggest recipient from AIIB with more than 1.2 billion USD supporting about six projects including Transmission lines, Capital City Development at Amravati, rural roads etc. with another 1 billion USD in proposed projects.
About Us:
WGonIFIs, a network of movements, organisations and individuals to critically look at and evaluate the policies, programmes and investments of various International Finance Institutions (IFIs), and joining the celebration of the people and communities across the world in resisting them. A list of the network is available here.

Work on the new I-70 bridge between St. Louis and St. Clair County, Illinois, continues with painting, barrier work and an overlay. These photos were from October 2013.
The Story Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge spanning the Brisbane River that carries vehicules, bikes and pedestrians between the northern and the southern banks of the Brisbane river, Queensland, Australia. It is the longest cantilever bridge in Australia.
It is named John Story, a public servant.

LNG tankers are often in the Boston news due to controversy about allowing them in the harbor. This is the kind of structure that stores the stuff on dry land... in a residential area.
It may have been "improved" only three years back, but almost from day one the infrastructure of Place Lahcen Tamri has been allowed to crumble. Fountains that never play with basins that collect rubbish, light housings on a footpath that seem designed to trip up the unwary, and, as shown here, broken troughs and fittings down which water was meant to flow from mini-fountains. It all spells 'Created to Resemble a Pissoir' (CRAP). While I was there in May 2010 one restaurant on the Square replaced its faded, but standard canopy with a bright new one. Not eccentric, and it blended in. Ironically, the bureaucrats arrived and summarily demanded it be replaced to match exactly the flagging canopies of the two adjoining eateries. What about the CRAP then, Messieurs?

The 2014 Global Infrastructure Initiative
Rethinking Infrastructure
Rio de Janeiro, May 28-30, 2014
McKinsey & Company’s Global Infrastructure Initiative, convened in partnership with The Abraaj Group and in affiliation with Albright Stonebridge Group, gathers the most senior leaders in infrastructure to drive a critical discussion about the future of infrastructure and how to optimize the required investment of US $3 trillion annually. The Global Infrastructure Initiative is a movement of committed leaders, dedicated to unlocking economic growth and supporting more stable, healthy, and secure communities. We are honored that the Brazilian Development Bank, the Government of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and the City of Rio de Janeiro will be providing institutional support.
Program Overview
Building on the success of the inaugural Global Infrastructure Initiative in Istanbul, the second meeting in Rio de Janeiro will focus on overcoming the recurring obstacles that arise on a global basis, and devising ways to accelerate the timely delivery of essential infrastructure. Unlike other events, the program centers on dialogue and debate, rather than presentations, with the specific objective of forging the insights and relationships required to drive change in the industry.
The agenda will explore the latest data, global best practices, and innovative approaches required to plan, finance, build, and operate the infrastructure needed to support a world of 9 billion people. We will also identify a set of tangible near-term actions that will remove bottlenecks within the infrastructure industry. Participants will take away new ideas and concrete solutions to apply to their business, city, country, or organization.
