On a warm winter evening 8184 and 8152 lead train 9227, a limestone train bound for Medway Quarry. While this is a standard occurrence, eventually these everyday scenes will become history.

Limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park, Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
On its inaugural run after taking over the service from DB Schenker, Freightliner Shed 66605 crosses the listed Hogshaw Lane Viaduct above the spa town of Buxton with the 11.08 Tunstead - Briggs Dowlow (6H22) loaded limestone on a dull 5th January 2016.
Hogshaw Lane Viaduct was built around 1890 for the Midland Railway and provided the link through to Ashbourne. Constructed with a millstone facade and limestone rubble core it's approximately 320m long and dominates the lower part of the town. It was Grade II listed in January 1997.

RJ Corman's famous F-Units run around the railroads "Old Kentucky Dinner Train" at Limestone Springs under a dramatic winter sky. These units have since been withdrawn from service.
A loaded limestone train for Minorca heads north along Minnesota Highway 7 near Zim Minnesota with 3 IC SD40-3's for power
IC SD40-3 6254 and company power lead empty limestone U714 around the S Curve at Culver on a early spring day (3/20/2022)
There was some fantastic light this afternoon, although once the sun dropped below the horizon, the after colours were were a sight to see.
The Minntac limestone train that went up Proctor Hill the afternoon before, is heading south empty on the Missabe Sub on the way to Duluth for a refill. Two sets of 2100-trios and two sets of ore cars are keeping busy in limestone service, but would think they'll switch back to the Missabe side dumps as fall moves to winter.

The world’s largest limestone mine..In Mønsted Limestone Caves there are more than 60 kilometres of underground paths. Some are as large as cathedrals and others are so narrow that a grown man cannot walk through them upright...From late medieval times until the 1820´s no big changes took place in the caves. From a hole formed like a shaft you gained access to the limestone. A ”hewer” loosened the limestone and the ”carriers” transported the stone to the field above.
The ”hewer” used the loosened limestone as a platform and so the tunnel often reached a height of several meters. Only big limestones were removed. Limestone debris and flints were left as a growing heap on the floor of the tunnel. As time passed, the carriers had to stoop in a narrow tunnel surrounded by heaps of flints.
United States Gypsum MLW/Bombardier DL-535EW #111 has just departed the limestone quarry some 27 miles East of Plaster City and leads the loads and an empty water tank (out of frame) back toward the USG sheetrock plant in Plaster City. USG operates North America's only remaining narrow gauge freight railroad on a 3' gauge and operates two of the four ever 1982-built DL-535EW locomotives to supply its wallboard plant with limestone from the nearby quarry. On my last visit they didn't run a morning crew so a second visit had been on the eventual to do list. Thankfully this time they were quite busy, running both a morning and afternoon (and probably night) crew which allowed for some of the morning angles I had been wanting to get. East of Plaster City, CA
The Pinal Mountains in Arizona are comprised of layers of limestone and covered in layers of ponderosa and white pines.
Limestone empty returning from Minntac with no two alike up front. He was rolling on a cold morning in northern Minnesota. I think my car read -12 when I got back in.
Wagons pass at Kelsey as Limestone trains meet, one loaded and heading north while one waits in the hole to go south
Sporting a trio of standard cab C40-8s with CN 2038 in the lead, the PRS job approaches Proctor Yard with limestone loads in tow.
Even as the cloud cover was thick and the rain was in the air, the fall colors clearly are spectacular right now around the Twin Ports area.
Shortly after leaving Rylstone Quarry with another heavy load of Yorkshire Limestone, 66764 gets to grips with the climb to Taylors Bridge on the outskirts of Rylstone Village.
This was the first of two shots of this working, after a drive down to the Aire Valley main line I caught up with this working at Cononley.
If you’ve not seen, I’ve put a video together of my day out on the Rylstone branch.

This was taken on a cold, drizzly summer afternoon. The light was lacklustre and the tides were not conducive to facilitate any Blowhole activities. Looking beyond the horizon is Tasman Sea.
The Pancake Rocks are a heavily eroded limestone area where the sea bursts through several vertical blowholes during high tides. Together with the 'pancake'-layering of the limestone (created by immense pressure on alternating hard and soft layers of marine creatures and plant sediments), these form the main attraction of the area. The base of the limestone was laid down and formed between 25 million and 35 million years ago.
Stylobedding is the name given to the process which formed the pancake layering. The current theory on how this happens is that following the limestone being buried up to kilometre below the seabed, it comes under pressure dissolution and the thinner layers of mud between the limestone are dissolved more quickly than the limestone, when exposed. This leaves the effect of the Pancake Rock layers.
Punakaiki is a small community on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, between Westport and Greymouth. The community lies on the edge of the Paparoa National Park. The Pancake Rocks are a very popular tourist destination at Dolomite Point south of the main village.

A 46 mile long footpath running from Castleton in the north to Rocester in the south through very attractive limestone country. Such a very beautiful day for a long walk.
