Thirty minutes behind A439 we see CN train U716, an empty ore train headed to UTAC's Fairlane plant to load pellets and turn back to Proctor. The all EMD consist consisting of CN SD40-2W 5349 and repainted DMIR 'tunnel motors' 404 and 405 is approaching the Munger Shaw Rd. crossing at MP 14 on CN's North Division Missabe Sub mainline. Modern day CN's designation for this route pays homage to the historic former Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railroad which was incorporated in 1891, ran its first train in 1892 and built into Duluth proper in 1893. In 1938 the road was merged into the Duluth and Iron Range both long owned by US Steel to officially create the legendary Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway.
Passing overhead is MP 18.9 on CN's Rainy Sub, the former Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway mainline. Today the CN uses the two lines as a directional mainline for all their 'core' traffic which is how they refer to their non iron ore related thru trains to and from Canada. All southbound trains (manifest, grain, oil, intermodal etc.) take the Rainy while all northbound counterpartsuse the Missabe for a distance of about 60 miles between Nopeming Jct. on the south and Shelton Jct. on the north. But with both north and southbound ore and limestone trains using this lower line it sees far more traffic than it's counterpart overhead.

After loading 60 cars in Waterloo, CPKCs WWA-02 approaches Watertown on the WSOR Waterloo Spur just as the sun starts to set. The power for the train is CP 6043 and 6025, two rebuild SD40-2s.
Load line is a special marking positioned amidships which depicts the draft of the vessel and the maximum permitted limit in distinct types of waters to which the ship can be loaded.
Long time no see! Warming up myself by doing some simple builds, and this is one of the projects I always wanted to do: a bucket loader to complete my construction site series! It is a challenge to redo everything on my own, and I took some inspiration from others on the cockpit part. The loader arm is not easy at all, taking me nearly 2 weeks to make it right and work like the real life loader with the same mechanism.
Beefing up the dump truck a little bit from 60075, now the bucket loader has a match work partner. As a bonus, a little red digger to speed up the site progress!
In perfectly still conditions during the afternoon of 16 January 2016, the driver has full control of his locomotive, JS 8167, and its thirteen wagon trailing load as it makes a text book departure, the locomotive climbing positively away from the Sandaoling opencast mine loading point. There is alleged to be four more years worth of coal in the deep pit beyond the loaders, but how long the steam traction can continue without heavy maintenance equipment in the workshops remains to be seen.

A cyclo driver takes a family home on a rainy day in Quy Nhơn, the capital of Bình Định Province, Vietnam. Cyclos carrying passengers are rarely seen today. The cyclos still in use are usually transporting goods.
CPKC's Fording River Sub is a 33 mile-long branch line serving 4 coal mines on the west side of Crowsnest Pass. The line was built in the early 1970's and features a steady stream of coal trains carrying Canadian carbon to the Pacific for export.
Here, at the far northern end of the line, CP 9354 slowly & steadily loads a coal train at the EVR Fording River Mine. The train is sized to match the length of the loading loop almost exactly, as the DPU has cleared the switch only a few car lengths before the head-end completes its circuit through the load-out.
Sharp eyes will note that's a spring switch, lined to the right for the inbound train but posing no issue for the outbound train to run through the switch against the points.

The Mississagi is stopped at Fairport Harbor along Lake Erie taking on a load of sand on a beautiful morning in July, 2020. Three large front end loaders (two can be seen in the photo) work continuously to keep conveyor belts filled with sand.

everyone i know has lately been mentioning that for the past several months viewing my photos or photostream on flickr is agonizingly slow. and not just taking a few extra seconds, it has been described as "akin to AOL dialup in the 90's. i open the page and leave to go get a cup of coffee and drink most of it before the photo is finished loading." and it's something that is only happening on my stream, no one else's.
has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? it's kinda weird because it doesn't actually happen for me, which makes it a tough thing to report as i imagine it's not ultimately a reproducable behavior. i wonder if i am parked on the slow server in the back closet? what could it be? oh woe!
(video inspired, of course, by the flickr spinning dots "loading" animation. for an extra air of authenticity, the lollipops were even obtained in the bay area)
66784 running what is likely to be the penultimate empty returns for a while. The last Immingham to West Burton Power Station is expected to run tomorrow with the final load of coal for stockpiling as part of a 30,000T delivery. This working 4D70 17:36 West Burton Power Station GBRF to Doncaster Down Decoy GBRF will sit at Doncaster overnight before collecting its final load tomorrow.
Personally this is my favourite view of the viaduct, albeit requiring an extended walk to avoid any crop damage and very pleased to get the spire of Laughton on le Morthen church in.
This MILW flatcar load gives a whole new meaning to the term "boat load!" This car was in train 263's consist, led by MILW E-73, near Vendome, MT.
This was a part of John's whirlwind trip through the west in 1967.

I was at the far end of the island taking pictures of an Adelie penguin rookery when I spotted this fantastic backdrop of glaciers and mountains beyond the rocky point where the Zodiac boats landed. We were visiting the Yalour Islands which are in the south part of the Wilhelm Archipelago on the Antarctic Peninsula.
This was one of the trickier landings, as we had to step off the zodiac onto large slippery boulders and navigate up the hill on an icy path. I managed to stay upright though !
The pink and green tones are not penguin poop; they're snow algae.
Yet another view, farther upstream, of the enormous GKM coal-fired power plant in Mannheim. Tennessee Ernie Ford told us that was impressive daily production for one underpaid coal mine worker, long ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if this hopper has comparable capacity.
Didn’t see any 🎼 Mannheim Steamrollers 🎶. 😜

In this image a wide load construction truck is hugging his side of the road, as we do the same on our side. As you can see, there is not a lot of pavement on either side, and no shoulders. It makes for an exciting trip.
This is on the so called; Glenn "Highway", where the speed limit was upped to 65 miles per hour a few years ago, by our legislator's in Juneau. No one in their right mind would do 65 on this stretch of the road.

66098 crosses Dolemeads Viaduct, Bath, with 6C03, 09:57 Northolt-Severnside containerised refuse for incineration on 2 January, 2026. The train was unusually being routed via Westbury and Bath due to engineering works near Didcot. Note the vegetation growing on the viaduct which must surely be damaging the masonry - blatant neglect of vital railway infrastructure!

Another shot along the bulk loading section of the Port of Brisbane. This time we see the bulk carrier, James Bay registered in Hong Kong, last port, Portland, Oregon USA of 37633 dead weight tons. It was built in 2013. This section of the port loads bulk cargoes of coal, grain and wood chips mainly.
See my other shot today for more details of the Brisbane River.
