73119 slowly propels its bogie hoppers under the discharge equipment at Lavant quarry. This equipment comprised of a very large overhead concrete bunker which was fed by a conveyer belt system from the active part of the quarry, where the gravel & clay mixture was simply dug from the ground as an open cast system by mechanical excavator. Once the bunker was full the resultant overflow was allowed to collect to the sides. This allowed the first 5 wagons to be simultaneously loaded by gravity by emptying the bunker via hydraulically operated doors. The second set of 5 wagons were then pushed back, leaving the bottom bunker doors open, where the collected overspill gravel was simply pushed from the sides by bulldozer via the bunker into the wagons. This was a very rapid form of loading, taking little over half an hour for the whole train.

please pardon the terrible video function on my camera.
after seeing the movie this plane comes from, I realized that the props are counter-rotating--i had to do it. This took way too many attempts to not show it off.
2 gold stars if you get how it works.
DOTX 218 rolls under its own power through the engine house yard at the Cumberland Valley Business Park. The facility houses both the Pennsylvania and Southern Railway and one of ENSCO's rail technology locations. ENSCO has the Federal Railroad Administration contract for operations, maintenance, and analysis using these FRA Office of Research and Development vehicles (most of the fleet is seen in the background.) What made this move unique is that the 218 was moving on it own; it's apparently only done in this yard. After a track geometry vehicle was involved in a crossing accident it was reportedly decided that the vehicles would be towed out on the road, ensuring the lead locomotive would take any damage.
A propellor from Lusitania, sunk in World War 1 with the loss of 1,197 lives. A sad memorial beside Canning Dock in Liverpool. The story of Lusitania, known fondly as Lusi by many at the time in Liverpool, and her sinking is told beautifully in the nearby Maritime Museum. The modern building in this shot is the Museum of Liverpool. Definitely worth a visit too for both the displays and the building itself.
Connecticut Company Express Motor # 2022 re-powered and self propelled for freight service between East Hartford and Glastonbury, Connecticut, 1946. After the big hurricane of 1938, that took down a great portion of the trolley wire on the east side of the Connecticut River. Two of the former electric express motors 2022 & 2023, were re-powered with gasoline bus engines which drove a generator that powered the existing truck mounted traction motors. On this particular day it appears we have two teenage riders in the cab that are probably taking a ride. It appears that the conductor is standing near the cab in the weeds, with the engineer, a Connecticut Company bus driver in the cab at the throttle. As to a location my first choice would be on one entrance tracks off Burnside Avenue in East Hartford to the New Haven Railroad Yard. My second choice would probably be a location in Glastonbury where the tracks come off of Main street into a grassy area. The two main businesses that are served by these Express Motors handling freight service is the Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine plant in East Hartford and the J.B. Williams Grooming Products Company that is situated in Glastonbury.

BB8608 propels RRR set 1 parallel to a luckily empty D125 a mile from Luchon at the hamlet of Poy. The 11:00 from Luchon (72880) will not get back to Toulouse Montauban until 13:39, and will have one change of direction at the junction town of Montrejeauen en route. 8th July 2011
this photo was shot in tuburan EB MAGALONA, this place is good for sunset viewing and nice place for delicious seafoods and hospitable locals.

I went to Lake Moogerah for the weekend and Soren came up from south of the border to join me, we had a great time taking photos morning ,noon and night so it wasn't much time left for sleep.
Thanks Soren for coming up, I really enjoyed the weekend.
I hope the photos that will be uploaded from us in the coming days will really show the beauty of this place.

The gondola is a traditional, flat-bottomed Venetian rowing boat, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. For centuries gondolas were the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti (ferries) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. The gondola is propelled like punting, except an oar is used instead of a pole.[1] Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.
History of the Gondola:
The gondola is propelled by a person (the gondolier) who stands facing the bow and rows with a forward stroke, followed by a compensating backward stroke. Contrary to popular belief, the gondola is never poled like a punt as the waters of Venice are too deep. Until the early 20th century, as many photographs attest, gondolas were often fitted with a "felze", a small cabin, to protect the passengers from the weather or from onlookers. Its windows could be closed with louvered shutters—the original "venetian blinds". After the elimination of the traditional felze—possibly in response to tourists complaining that it blocked the view—there survived for some decades a kind of vestigial summer awning, known as the "tendalin" (these can be seen on gondolas as late as the mid-1950s, in the film Summertime). While in previous centuries gondolas could be many different colors, a sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now.
It is estimated that there were eight to ten thousand gondolas during the 17th and 18th century. There are just over four hundred in active service today, virtually all of them used for hire by tourists. Those few that are in private ownership are either hired out to Venetians for weddings or used for racing.[3] Even though the Gondola by now has become a widely publicized icon of Venice, in the times of the Republic of Venice it was by far not the only means of transportation: on the map of Venice created by Jacopo de' Barbari in 1500 only a fraction of the boats are gondolas, the majority of boats are batellas, caorlinas, galleys and other boats - by now only a handful of batellas survive, and caorlinas are used for racing only.
During their heyday as a means of public transports, teams of four men—three oarsmen and a fourth person, primarily shore-based and responsible for the booking and administration of the gondola (Il Rosso Riserva)—would share ownership of a gondola. However as the gondolas became more of a tourist attraction than a mode of public transport all but one of these cooperatives and their offices have closed. The category is now protected by the Institution for the Protection and Conservation of Gondolas and Gondoliers,[4] headquartered in the historical center of Venice.
The historical gondola was quite different from its modern evolution- the paintings of Canaletto and others show a much lower prow, a higher "ferro", and usually two rowers. The banana-shaped modern gondola was developed only in the 19th century by the boat-builder Tramontin, whose heirs still run the Tramontin boatyard. The construction of the gondola continued to evolve until the mid-20th century, when the city government prohibited any further modifications.
The oar or rèmo is held in an oar lock known as a fórcola. The forcola is of a complicated shape, allowing several positions of the oar for slow forward rowing, powerful forward rowing, turning, slowing down, rowing backwards, and stopping. The ornament on the front of the boat is called the fèrro (meaning iron) and can be made from brass, stainless steel, or aluminium. It serves as decoration and as counterweight for the gondolier standing near the stern.
Gondolas are handmade using 8 different types of wood (fir, oak, cherry, walnut, elm, mahogany, larch and lime) and are composed of 280 pieces.[5][unreliable source?] The oars are made of beech wood. The left side of the gondola is made longer than the right side. This asymmetry causes the gondola to resist the tendency to turn toward the left at the forward stroke. It is a common misconception that the gondola is a paddled vessel when the correct term is rowed i.e. "I rowed my gondola to work".
The profession of gondolier is controlled by a guild, which issues a limited number of licenses granted after periods of training and apprenticeship, and a major comprehensive exam[6] which tests knowledge of Venetian history and landmarks, foreign language skills, and practical skills in handling the gondola[7] typically necessary in the tight spaces of Venetian canals.
The gondola is also one of the vessels typically used in both ceremonial and competitive regattas, rowing races held amongst gondoliers using the technique of Voga alla Veneta.
The origin of the word "gondola" has never been satisfactorily established, despite many theories.[8]
In August 2010, Giorgia Boscolo became Venice's first female gondolier.
Seen here are the primary self propelled Artillery pieces (the gun based ones at least) in service with the Norwistanische Nationalarmee.
The Panzerhaubitze M65/90 can trace its roots back to the 1940s, starting life as an assult gun. As turretles SPGs went out of favour Norwistani Enginneers looked into a way of upgrading the existing vehicles. They did indeed manage to stick a turret on top, though they only managed to arm it with a 130mm gun, instead of the 155mm gun from the orginal assult gun.
The Panzerhaubitze M80 "Karolina": a 155mm heavy SPG.
Based on the Chassis of the Kosak III with most of the armour stripped and the turret ring enlarged this vehicles holds 5 crewmembers and a powerfull 155mm howitzer, for which it carriers 30 rounds internally, mostly HE, smoke and illuminiation rounds.
Still bearing obsolete Trainload Construction decals, 37686 propels 6C15, the 1021 Carlisle – Workington Enterprise into the Workington Docks Branch on 23 September 1998.
The logs - seen towards the rear of the train - were for paperboard manufacturer Iggesund who at this time were a very good railway customer, also employing kaolin/calcium carbonate slurry tankers and – as seen here – ferrywagon bogie vans. The vans were used to bring woodpulp from Sweden via Sheerness which frequently carried back loads of finished board.
