In typical Alco fashion, 4490 warbles into action starting it's train on the return leg of a SteamFest shuttle service to Paterson.
A visit was made to the opencast coal processing and distribution centre at Onllwyn in the upper Dulais Valley back in 2006, where we were granted permission to enter the site and take some images. EWS 60004 had arrived from Swansea Burrows S.S. with 36 HAA hoppers and loading had not long commenced. Once the loading was completed, the wagons would be taken to Margam and would later form the 7E10 TTHO 18:51 Margam T.C. to Immingham S.S..

66221 loads up with processed coal at Onllwyn for the 6E09 journey to Immingham. The coal (anthracite) goes to a briquette factory on the Immingham port where a range of high-quality smokeless fuels for the domestic and export market are produced.

66 620 draws its train through the loading bunker at Tunstead Quarry with empties from Tunstead Bottom End Yard, which will load with limestone rocks to form 6H22 the 11.08 to Hindlow Quarry. Beside 66620 is the Industrial Shunter from the previous image. The train is running late at this point due to loaded difficulties at the beginning, resulting on one cab being covered in limestone sludge, images of the cab will follow.
This was a great location with a view over the vast Tunstead Quarry.
Taken at 1113 on the 13th September 2018.
USSC #312, a GP11, passes one of the numerous sugar cane load out along USSC's system. This loaded has dried out for this year, but during the next harvest it will be busy once again. Something also worthy of note in this scene are the rails under the loader, hidden in the grass, it is stamped '1903 CARNEGIE.' Hard to believe these rails still serve trains during every harvest.
Progressing through the loader at Silverdale Colliery are 20016 and 20081, they have an MGR which will form the 09.40 to Fiddlers Ferry power station.
The first shafts were sunk at Silverdale Colliery in the 1830's and initially it produced ironstone as well as coal. The colliery was completely rebuilt during the 1970s but it closed in 1998, the last deep mine in North Staffordshire.
20016 was built at the Vulcan Foundry as D8016, it entered traffic 30/12/1957 it was withdrawn 30/06/2010
20081 was a Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn product entering service 31/08/1961 as D8081 it was withdrawn 30/08/2010 Both finished their career with Harry Needle Locomotives.

This page is a bit busier than I usually like, but I thought it fit the crazy mood of this moment so I went with it.
Based on 4950 The Loader-Dozer, released in 1999.
Not my finest work, but I wanted to share this micro Rock Monster. The main body is a no pattern mini Piraka head and the back is a pair of those guns that shoot studs. I don't have many parts in this color so I had to improvise.
The UP steam shop crews also maintain the business fleet and are seen readying the A-B-A Set of E9's to go with 844 to North Platte. The Crews are load testing and also testing the cab signals.
Westbound coal loads roll near Brooks, West Virginia with C&O SD40 7529 leading the way on July 24, 1976.
Repair of the Lazy Susan was finally completed and Rocky is conducting a LOAD TEST to ensure it meets his standards.

I couldn't resist the urge to stop the car, grab the camera, jump over the wall and take a shot of these. We had a giggle doing it too :)
