I rarely photograph trains here despite working a mile away but made an exception because I wanted to photograph 1030. While waiting around I shot 14 trains in 50 min including four different models of locomotive...I suppose it's not that boring after all!

Here's the seventh train I lensed, outbound Keolis/MBTA train 407 for Wachusett has just departed North Station and is crosing the drawbridge over the Charles River on Main 4 behind F40PH-3C 1058.

For now the last relics from Boston and Maine days remain clustered here including the vintage dwarf signals, the drawbridges and the tower itself which was built during the B&M's 1926-1932 reconfiguration of the terminal and the then new Boston Engine Terminal. The two story steel frame and brick structure replaced an earlier tower located on the south side of the Charles. It was placed in service on September 27, 1931 with an original electrical board containing 211 levers! Until 2021 the drawbridge operator still worked out of it but today it serves no purpose at all.

The two bascule bridges also date from that same year when the navigable channel of the Charles River was shifted 300 feet to the north of its former route to allow the platforms at North Station to be extended. At the time of their construction two additional spans were built just to the west with a total of 8 tracks crossing the river serving 22 platform tracks vs only 10 today.

All of this is on borrowed time however, as the MBTA is embarking on a nearly one billion dollar project to replace the aging and failure prone spans and reconfigure Tower A. Ultimately these last vestiges of the Route of the Minuteman will fall to the wrecking ball and cutting torch and three new vertical lift spans are supposed to rise in their place allowing for six tracks to cross the river and the addition of two more platform tracks.

Rising above at left can be seen the obelisk towers and cable stays of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial suspension bridge built in 2003 as part of the infamous Big Dig project that saw Interstate 93 removed from its elevated pathway through the heart of the city and buried beneath it.

Drag On by Sterling Ruby

Often drawing upon autobiographical or sociopolitical sources, Sterling Ruby’s DRAG ON depicts a cannon with untamed brush strokes of crimson, azure, and black paint traversing the surface. With a theatrical flair, the sculpture is rough, powerful, and yet reminiscent of a national flag in an almost liquefied state. The representation of the cunnon-cum-coffin channels the conflicts between individual impulses and mechanisms of social control, as well as American domination and its decline. Dealing in juxtaposition and paradox, reconfiguring systems of representation and repurposing elements in new and unsettling ways, the work manifests itself as a balanced combination of philosophical enquiry and material investigation. As Ruby continues to mine the legacy of modern and contemporary sculpture, DRAG ON projects an earnest hope for a non-hierarchical, boundaryless universe.

One of my favourite Buildings in Berlin.

In 1956, José M. Bosch, President of Ron Bacardí y Compañía approached Mies to commission the design of a new office space. He was particularly interested in a very open plan, and the relatively simple idea Mies came up with involved a square roof plate supported on each side by two columns. Though initial structural challenges had to be dealt with, the resulting pavilion typology became integral to Mies' architectural lexicon, in many ways the epitome of his universal conception of space.

The Bacardí Building was abandoned in September 1960 due to general political unrest in Cuba, but at the same time, two other museum commissions were brought to Mies' office. Georg Schaefer, a wealthy industrialist living in Schweinfurt approached Mies about the construction of a museum for his nineteenth-century art collection during the summer of 1960. A modest initial plan was drawn for the structure, but later that year Mies decided to reconfigure the unbuilt Bacardí project to fit Schaefer's program as he wished to see it built. Consequently, a scaled-down model of the Bacardí project this time rendered in steel rather than concrete was created. In March 1961, Mies also received a letter from the Senator for Building and Housing in Berlin, inviting him to build what was to be called the Neue Nationalgalerie, an exhibition space for the state's collection of early twentieth-century art. The two museum projects, though slightly different in scale, where to be essentially identical in form, both a version in steel of the original Barcardí design. Though the Schweinfurt project never came to fruition, the reductive exercise of continual reconfiguration allowed for the perfection of Mies' expression in Berlin, and the Neue Nationalgalerie remains as the sole built form of the initial tripartite conception.[5]

Aesthetic importance

Much of Mies' syntactical development throughout the three building progression leading up to the Neue Nationalgalerie was prefigured in an earlier project for a Museum for a Small City. This project was published in a special May 1943 edition of Architectural Forum. In his publication, Mies describes a seemingly floating roof plane, suspended above a single clear-span space punctuated by equidistant columns. This project is now seen as a significant move on Mies' part toward the alleviation of interior space by both defining and minimizing structural enclosure, thus joining exterior and interior space in a meaningful way. The structure itself, a composite of little more than ground plane, support and roof, thus becomes the building. The aesthetic importance of the clear-span was directly related to Mies' conception of museum space in general, a "defining, rather than confining space".[6] The completely open nature of the plan also serves to eliminate the barrier between art and community, simultaneously breaking down the reverence enacted by severely partitioned spaces and inviting interaction between viewer and art.[6] The overall aesthetic affect is thus one of vitalizing liberation.[7] This infinitely transformative capability and universality is also seen in Mies' buildings from the intervening years, namely the Farnsworth House in Plano, Illinois, and Crown Hall of the Illinois Institute of Technology campus. Various commentators have recognized the structure's ties to classical building, seeing it as a modern temple whose monumental simplicity evinces the immense skill behind its design and conception.[8]

David Chipperfield renovation

Having had no thorough modernization since its inauguration, the Neue Nationalgalerie required upgrades to its air-conditioning, lighting, security, accessibility, visitor facilities and the behind-the-scenes infrastructure for moving art.[13] In 2012 it was announced that British architect David Chipperfield would oversee a major renovation of the building. In a non-competitive selection process common for public contracts in Germany, his firm was chosen for the contract out of 24 architectural firms based on a two-stage negotiation process.

Originally planned for €101 million,[14] the €140 million[15] renovation project started in 2015 and was originally expected to last three years, during which time the museum was closed.[16] Original building elements, such as handrails and shelves, were removed, restored and reinstalled in their previous locations. Archival material dating from the construction at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, helped the architects remain true to Mies's design.[17] Meanwhile, the structural framework of the roof, which rests on eight steel beams, and the glass facade was restored.[18]

Such nice plans for the afternoon. A drive to our local Starbucks and then down to the beach to enjoy a coffee while looking out over the water. But then Fred decided he would like to come. Well that meant the beach was out as he would expect a walk and right now we can't really get out of the car and sit at the beach, so we reconfigured the plans and decided on a walk around the park, with the Starbucks run after. All went well until we passed a Timmy's on the way to get our coffees, which of course set Fred off as he knows Timmy's is where one finds the delights of Tim Bits, which are the perfect size for a little dog's special treat. Through Tim's drive through to get Fred his box of Tim Bits (no chocolate ones please) and finally on to Starbucks. By now we were so close I could taste that mocha frappe. Closed! Starbucks was closed! They had reset their hours due to the covid virus. So at the end of it all the official count was:

I swear. Next time I'm coming back as a dog.

For many years I remember seeing Robinsons Shaft in the middle of an industrial patch of wasteland , it was owned by the National Trust then and mothballed . Now it is in the centre of Heartlands .

Robinson’s Shaft is the living soul and epicentre of Heartlands. Located at Pool in Cornwall, it’s one of the most important mining sites in the country.

It forms a part of one of the ten discrete landscapes that make up the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site and is home to a number of Grade II listed buildings.

So what makes this particular mining site so special? Well, it closed as recently as 1996 so it has retained more of its historic architecture and structure than any other site you see today where mining ceased much earlier. Robinson’s Engine House also holds the Crown Jewels of mining machinery – the Cornish pumping engine of 1854. This masterpiece has been kept in a remarkable state of preservation and was the last Cornish Engine to work on a Cornish Mine.

Robinson’s Shaft came to prominence around 1900-8, when it became the principal shaft of the South Crofty mine. However, it crops up on a plan from 1833 so it took nearly 70 years for it to take centre stage.

The turning point came in 1900, when they had to deepen the shaft to exploit the tin deposits in that part of the South Crofty mine. This involved a series of colossal engineering feats. The first of which was the construction of a winding engine, finished by 1901. Next came the installation of a pumping engine, which started in 1903. They then began the usual act of building the engine house and engine in tandem. By 1908, they’d completed the pumping engine, which allowed the shaft to be sunk to 205 fathoms. By 1910, they could mine to 238 fathoms, that’s 1428 feet or 435 metres - higher than Brown Willy, the highest point in Cornwall.

With the pumping-engine in place, the rest of the development around the shaft proceeded over the following 3-4 years. The layout was dictated by the way the different functions served the shaft, so what might appear to be a random cluster was in fact a highly organised working entity. The other early development at the shaft was the introduction of electric power, which astonishingly, seems to have taken place as early as 1910-11.

By 1967 the South Crofty mine had been reconfigured, so that the shaft at Robinson’s was used for lifting men and equipment, whilst ore was lifted at the nearby new Cook’s Shaft. The result of the changes of the 50s and 60s is that the site as seen today is essentially the product of two phases: its original development in 1900-11, when it became the major shaft in the South Crofty complex with all the typical functions of a tin mining site, and its modernisation in 1955-65 when it was adapted to play a subsidiary role in that complex.

The pumping engine at Robinson’s Shaft is a gloriously well-preserved example of a Cornish engine. It worked at this site between 1903 and 1955.

The engine was designed by Captain Samuel Grose, a pupil of Richard Trevithick, and was built by Sandys Vivian and Co. at the Copperhouse Foundry, one of the two major engineering works at Hayle. Apart from its state of preservation, and the fact that it continued to work until the 1950s, another claim to fame of this engine is that it experienced being moved no less than four times:

first erected at the Wheal Alfred mine near Hayle, where it worked 1855-64

moved to Wheal Abraham near Crowan, when it worked 1865-75

after a period of idleness moved to Tregurtha Downs mine near Marazion, where it worked 1883-95/1899- 1902 (the gap being because of the collapse of tin pieces in the mid-1890s)

re-erected for the final time at Robinson’s Shaft in 1903

If you think of shifting a house, bricks, mortar and all, you might begin to understand the complexity of this operation. Despite all these moves the engine as seen today is essentially as it was first built in 1854-5

Robinson’s Engine stopped working at 1.15pm on 1 May 1955, the last Cornish Engine to work on a Cornish Mine.

Robinson’s Engine is currently undergoing more restoration work (it’s a bit like painting the Forth Bridge), but you can still go on guided tours to see this magnificent engine and talk to our restoration team about the processes involved along with all the blood, sweat and tears. Once restored, the engine will run again using a hydraulic system. We believe in protecting the environment and we use renewable energy across Heartlands, so for now, the engine will not be run on steam.

I rarely photograph trains here despite working a mile away but made an exception because I wanted to photograph 1030. While waiting around I shot 14 trains in 50 min including four different models of locomotive...I suppose it's not that boring after all!

Here finally is train number 14, Amtrak 680 arriving after a 3 hr and 20 min trip down from Brunswick, Maine. The four Amfleets were led by phase three heritage power car 90406 with P42DC 119 shoving on the rear seen crossing over through the Tower A interlocking to take Main 1 over span 1 into North Station. Holding on Main 3 on span 2 is a house move headed to BET behind MBTA Wareham rebuilt and repainted (in the standard scheme) GP40MC 1138.

For now the last relics from Boston and Maine days remain clustered here including the vintage dwarf signals, the drawbridges and the tower itself (out of sight at left) which was built during the B&M's 1926-1932 reconfiguration of the terminal and the then new Boston Engine Terminal. The two story steel frame and brick structure replaced an earlier tower located on the south side of the Charles. It was placed in service on September 27, 1931 with an original electrical board containing 211 levers! Until 2021 the drawbridge operator still worked out of it but today it serves no purpose at all.

The two bascule bridges also date from that same year when the navigable channel of the Charles River was shifted 300 feet to the north of its former route to allow the platforms at North Station to be extended. At the time of their construction two additional spans were built just to the west with a total of 8 tracks crossing the river serving 22 platform tracks vs only 10 today.

All of this is on borrowed time however, as the MBTA is embarking on a nearly one billion dollar project to replace the aging and failure prone spans and reconfigure Tower A. Ultimately these last vestiges of the Route of the Minuteman will fall to the wrecking ball and cutting torch and three new vertical lift spans are supposed to rise in their place allowing for six tracks to cross the river and the addition of two more platform tracks.

Excerpt from www.trinitybeamsville.ca/our-history/:

The roots of Trinity United Church in Beamsville lie deep in the traditions of 19th century Methodism and Prebyterianism. In 1925, in response to a uniting spirit that swept through many protestant churches across Canada, Methodist and Presbyterian congregations in the Beamsville area became part of the United Church of Canada. In 1938, after some thirteen years as separate United Church congregations in Beamsville, a move was initiated by a union committee of the Wesley and Knox congregations towards amalgamation into one strong church body.

That strong church body has continued since 1938 in the name of Trinity United Church.

Throughout the years the Trinity campus has expanded to include Trinity House, (currently home to the Women’s Resource Centre). The church building has been expanded and/or reconfigured several times. An elevator has been installed to connect the main and lower levels. In the years 2006 to 2008 extensive renovations took place in the sanctuary. Central air-conditioning was installed. The five original stained-glass windows were restored, the sanctuary and chancel painted and re-carpeted, new lighting added and electronic capability increased.

Buffalo (Main) Light is a lighthouse at the mouth of Buffalo River/Erie canal, directly across from the Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo, New York. The lighthouse was established and lit in 1833 and was deactivated in 1914. The foundation material was stone molehead and the lighthouse was constructed out of limestone and cast iron. The shape of the tower was octagonal and was 60 feet (18 m) high. The lens installed in 1857 was a third order Fresnel lens. The lens was later removed to the Buffalo History Museum. This 60-foot-tall, octagonal limestone structure is the oldest still standing in its original location in the city of Buffalo. It replaced the original 1818 light on this site along the Lake Erie shore at the mouth of the Buffalo River. Presently, it is part of an outdoor museum located on the grounds of the United States Coast Guard Station. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. In 2010, the Coast Guard announced it would relinquish 4.6 acres (1.9 ha) of its 31 acres (13 ha) on the point and Congressman Brian Higgins obtained over $6 million to reconfigure the Coast Guard station to allow public access to the lighthouse. In April 2011, Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation approved a grant of $170,700 to repair and restore the lighthouse in anticipation of public tours. The work was completed in August 2011.

This is one of the amazing paintings in the 'Spirits' exhibition - the art of Tsherin Sherpa. Acrylic and ink on canvas.

Tsherin Sherpa, A Nepalese-born Tibetan American artist and a devoted Tibetan Buddhist artist, trained by his father in the art of traditional Tibetan Buddhist thangka painting. Sherpa moved to San Francisco from Kathmandu and reinvented himself to fit his surroundings, finding new meaning for an ancient art form and launching the next wave in Tibetan contemporary art.

Tsherin Sherpa’s works are grounded in the traditional Buddhist art of his training but stretch, bend, reconfigure, and repurpose its forms to explore contemporary concerns. The exhibition’s 36 paintings and sculptures trace the evolution of his “Spirits” series whose subjects resemble Tibetan Buddhist deities transformed by the modern world. Dislocated from their home—an experience familiar to the artist and communities all over the world—these figures move from grief and confusion, to courage and self-assurance, to triumph and wisdom. In their multiple manifestations, the Spirits reveal the power and endurance of transformation.

An NJ Transit stone train carefully threads its way through Bridgewater's Chimney Rock shopping district while bringing nine loads out of the Stavola Quarry. This is the second NJ Transit stone train to service the quarry, which is on the west end of the Middlebrook Industrial track. This end of the line was reconfigured after being grade-separated from US 22 several years prior and it has seen little use until recently. This line was built as the Middlebrook Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The branch once had a diverse mix of customers, but today only the quarry is actively served. A trainman can be seen flagging the crossing and the red glow from his flare illuminates the side of 4112. So far most activity on this line has been in the late evening hours.

The 932 and 1323 pull a cut of gondolas loaded with copper and nickel concentrate out of the processing plant near Humboldt, Michigan on this fine spring day in the upper peninsula. This facility was originally built in the mid 1950s as an iron ore mine and pelletizing plant, similar to the still-operating Tilden Mine, and was jointly owned by the Ford motor Company and Cleveland Cliffs. Between 2012-2014 the remains of the mine were reconfigured to process copper and nickel ore from Lundin Mining's nearby Eagle Mine. Several large buildings from the original ore mining operation were modified and repurposed to suit the current business.

Under partly-cloudy skies, a westbound BNSF oil train heads west on the main at Eisele. Most BNSF oil trains have six units on the head end, which are reconfigured 3x3 for the trip east. This train, however, only has three units. BNSF will likely bring in three other units on a different train, dropping them off at the transload facility at Wash.

The much maligned White Ibis enjoying my local wetland. These birds, known sadly as "Bin Chickens" can be seen flying in groups to and fro at this time of year. They don't seem to overwinter here but there is a big colony in Jell's Park, further north. The wetland was reconfigured and replanted during 2021 and now the plants have really grown, making it hard to see the birds. For Definitely Dreaming week 47 theme of Birds and Wing Wednesday.

Many years after the rumored closing and reconfiguring of Dolton's Tower and Junction, trains from Barr Yard to the former C&EI still take the ages-old slalom path to make the connection between the 2 routes.

One of the oldest survivors of America's steam railroading era, this locomotive was built 29 years after the steam engine was first developed for transportation. Breese, Kneeland & Company of Jersey City, New Jersey also operated as the New York Locomotive Works and is represented by the No. 73 on the locomotive builders plate. The company used its standard style, based on a design patented by Henry Roe Campbell in 1836. Known as a 4-4-0 "Classic American" for its wheel configuration, this particular locomotive was manufactured in 1857 for the Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad Company.

Believed to have been named "Spring Green", the locomotive served the upper midwestern United States for more than 30 years. By 1889, the Arizona & Southeastern Railroad Company, which later became the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad (EP&SW), had acquired it and converted it from a wood-burner to a coal-burner. The smokestack was also likely reconfigured from a funnel type to a straight type at that time. Calling it Locomotive No. One, EP&SW utilized it in the development of Bisbee, Arizona and in other mining and industrial operations in the southwest.

EP&SW retired Old Number One after more than 50 years of service, moving it to a park adjacent to company headquarters at 416 N. Stanton Street in 1909. Except for its brief role in the 1938 film "Let Freedom Ring", it remained there until 1960, even after the rail company became part of the Southern Pacific railroad system in 1924. In 1960, the railroad donated it to Texas Western College (now the University of Texas at El Paso), which placed it at the Centennial Museum. In 2000, the City of El Paso received state and national funds to restore the engine to its 1909 appearance, moving it to the present site at the Union Plaza Transit Terminal.

I visited the Olympic Oval and tried to find some new angles for architecture compositions.

Finally I got this one with the partial Sky Lantern, one of the the two diaphanous sculptures hang above a unique water garden. The sculpture was created by artist Janet Echelman to integrate with the Asian-themed landscaping and the site’s overall environmental sustainability.

The following information about Olympic Oval is extracted from Wikipedia.

The Richmond Olympic Oval (French: Anneau olympique de Richmond) is an indoor multi-sports arena in the Canadian city of Richmond, British Columbia. The oval was built for the 2010 Winter Olympics and was originally configured with an speed skating rink. The venue has since been reconfigured and now serves as a community multi-sport park and includes two ice hockey rinks, two running tracks, a climbing wall, a rowing tank and a flexible area which can be used for, among other sports, basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer and table tennis.

Wish all of you a great weekend!

IC #1001 crosses the former Rock Island at 16th Street interlocking. Over the past few months, #2 has been shut down and the interlocking single-tracked as CN works to reconfigure the track layout to improve clearance for wide loads.

This palazzo, like many others, was repurposed and reconfigured over the centuries.

Here's a gritty cloudy Monochrome Monday bonus.

Inbound Keolis/MBTA train 402 from Wachusett is arriving at North Station in Boston as it rumbles onto the drawbridge over the Charles River on Main 1 passing venerable Tower A with GP40MC 1124 shoving on the rear.

For now the last relics from the Boston and Maine days remain clustered here including the vintage dwarf signals, the drawbridges ans the tower itself which was built during the B&M's 1926-1932 reconfiguration of the terminal and the then new Boston Engine Terminal. The two story steel frame and brick structure replaced an earlier tower located on the south side of the Charles. It was placed in service on September 27, 1931 with an original electrical board containing 211 levers! Until 2021 the drawbridge operator still worked out of it but today it serves no purpose at all.

The two bascule bridges also date from that same year when the navigable channel of the Charles River was shifted 300 feet to the north of its former route to allow the platforms at North Station to be extended. At the time of their construction two additional spans were built just to the west with a total of 8 tracks crossing the river serving 22 platform tracks vs only 10 today.

All of this is on borrowed time however, as the MBTA is embarking on a nearly one billion dollar project to replace the aging and failure prone spans and reconfigure Tower A. Ultimately these last vestiges of the Route of the Minuteman will fall to the wrecking ball and cutting torch and three new vertical lift spans are supposed to rise in their place allowing for six tracks to cross the river and the addition of two more platform tracks.

Rising above can be seen the obelisk towers and cable stays of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial suspension bridge built in 2003 as part of the infamous Big Dig project that saw Interstate 93 removed from its elevated pathway through the heart of the city and buried beneath it.

This post was begun by the Royal Canadian Volunteers in 1796 to replace Detroit and to maintain British influence among the western Indians. As the principal defence of the Detroit frontier in 1812, it was here that Isaac Brock gathered his forces for the attack on Detroit. The next year, with supply lines cut and control of Lake Erie lost to the Americans, the British could not hold the fort, which they evacuated and burned. Partially rebuilt by the invading Americans, it was returned on 1 July 1815 to the British, who maintained a frontier garrison here until 1851. *Note: This designation has been identified for review. A review can be triggered for one of the following reasons - outdated language or terminology, absence of a significant layer of history, factual errors, controversial beliefs and behaviour, or significant new knowledge.

Description of Historic Place

The Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada is an extensive, park-like area defined by surviving earthworks, a brick barracks building and a classically inspired structure of a domestic nature, situated on the banks of the Detroit River opposite Bois Blanc Island in Amherstburg, Ontario.

Heritage Value

Fort Malden was designated a national historic site of Canada for its role : as the principal military station for the defence of the western frontier for the period 1796-1813; in the War of 1812; in the defence of the western frontier during the border raids of 1837-38.

The heritage value of Fort Malden National Historic Site of Canada lies in the association of surviving cultural resources with the military role of the fort in the 18th and 19th centuries. The fort consisted of a deep protective ditch lined with pickets and a raised earthen parapet with bastions and mounted artillery which helped to define its interior parade square. The fort's only surviving building is the Men's Brick Barracks built in 1820. Fort Malden was established in 1796, and built as Fort Amherstburg by the Second Battalion Royal Canadian Volunteers in 1797-1799. It was strengthened in 1812, but evacuated and burned by the British in September 1813. The Americans partially rebuilt the fort in 1815. After the War of 1812, Fort Malden returned to the British and in 1837-38 was reconfigured in order to serve as a border post.

Key features contributing to the heritage value of this site include:

the cultural landscape as a remnant defence work with its siting, the form and footprint of its earthworks, parade square and other man-made landscape features and surviving building; siting on a steep bank above the Detroit River.

Men's Brick Barracks its massing as a long low single-storey rectangle with a moderately pitched hipped roof punctuated by large brick chimneys and the duplication of these shapes at a more modest scale in the 1840s brick addition to the building; the dominant porch and symmetrical definition of its main facade with a central door, flanking doors with sidelights, and the balanced arrangement of doors and windows on other facades; defensive loopholes on the south and east walls of the 1840s addition; original exterior materials and their craftsmanship (rubblestone foundation and brick walls); surviving evidence of original interior layout, materials and finishes including brick partition walls and centrally placed chimneys, roof framing, original plaster and trim; siting at perimeter of the parade square.

Archaeological remains vestiges of buildings, defensive works and activities.

Landscape features footprint and form of the earthworks and parade square with their view of associated ditch, bastions, and glacis (on neighbouring property); the scale and location of these works in relation to each other and to the Brick Barracks; evidence of historic entrances to the fort from the town and from the river to the fort; viewplanes to and from Fort Malden, to the narrow channel of the Detroit River and Bois Blanc Island and the view to and from the southwest bastion down Dalhousie St. to the town of Amherstburg and the former naval yard.

The Menindee Lakes is a natural series of lakes that fill with water when the Darling-Baaka River floods. In the 1960s, a series of engineering projects augmented the Menindee Lakes, allowing water to be directed into the lakes and held back or released. This ensured a reliable water supply for the city of Broken Hill, the township of Menindee and secure supply of water for the Lower Darling River and supply to South Australia.

The Menindee Lakes system provides important habitat, nursery and recruitment for native fish, such as the Murray Cod and Golden Perch. It is important habitat for a huge variety of native and migratory bird species. The Menindee Lakes system is vital to the communities of the Far West, providing recreation and amenity, as well as attracting tourism, recreational fishing, horticulture and viticulture.

The Darling-Baaka River is central to the cultural, spiritual and economic lives of the Barkindji people.

The health of the Menindee Lakes and the Darling-Baaka River are intimately linked. The lakes fill from the Darling-Baaka River and water stored in the Menindee Lakes keeps the Lower Darling flowing during dry times. The Great Darling Anabranch is a series of ephemeral creeks, billabongs and lakes that wind their way to the Murray River to the west of the main Darling-Baaka River Channel.

Irrigation expands:

There has been a rapid expansion of irrigation along the rivers in the Northern Basin of the Murray Darling Basin, particularly cotton. Irrigation of cotton has expanded by 4,000% since the 1970s. In 1971 Australia grew 81,000 bales of cotton. By 2012 Australia grew 5.3 million bales. Irrigation dams - Wee Waa

Much of the cotton is grown along the rivers of the Murray Darling in very large irrigation enterprises, with most of the cotton grown on tributaries of the Darling-Baaka River.

Large private storages were built to hold water and other structures were built to capture flood waters. Water licences and water sharing plans allow irrigators to suck huge quantities from the tributaries of the Darling-Baaka even when flows are modest.

The result has been that low and medium flows have virtually stopped flowing down the Darling-Baaka River. Only the largest floods that cannot be captured upstream, or specially protected environmental flows, now make it down to the Menindee Lakes and Lower Darling-Baaka River.

An easy target?

After the Millennium Drought exposed just how over-allocated the river systems of the Murray-Darling Basin were, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan was agreed between the Commonwealth and the states. The Plan aimed to make the Murray-Darling Basin system more sustainable by returning more water to the rivers through buying back water licences and other measures to recover water for the environment.

Menindee Slogan Bus:

The irrigation industry views the water flowing into the Menindee Lakes as wasteful and unproductive (not growing crops). They would prefer water to be taken from the Menindee Lakes to meet the targets under the Basin Plan rather than for the irrigation industry to be compelled to use less water. The industry points to the volume of water that evaporates from the Menindee Lakes each year as a key reason to reduce the amount of water flowing into and being stored in the lakes. The amount of water that evaporates from shallow private storages in equally hot and dry climates is rarely mentioned.

Scientists and environmentalists view the water that flows down our rivers, fills wetland and billabongs, and spills over floodplains as highly productive for nature and vital for sustaining complex ecosystems that have evolved over eons. These flows are also vital for replenishing underground aquifers and for sustaining downstream communities and Indigenous cultures.

Some politicians view the Menindee Lakes as an easy target. The population around Menindee is sparse, without much economic or political clout. The birds, fish and wildlife can not vote, lobby or protest. Taking water from the Menindee Lakes system is seen as politically easier than seeking to recover water from loud, well-connected and politically savvy irrigators. The location of the Menindee Lakes in a remote part of NSW that is out of sight and out of mind for many citizens located on the eastern seaboard also makes it hard for the issue to gain political traction.

A plan to decommission the Menindee Lakes:

After the Menindee Lakes filled from a major flood event in Queensland and NSW 2012, they were rapidly emptied by the Murray Darling Basin Authority and the NSW Government. Usually the lakes would hold water for many years after they filled, but by 2014 they were emptied. As a consequence, Broken Hill was in danger of running out of water and the government announced a plan to drill bores to supply the city with low-quality bore water. Locals were outraged at this plan and were concerned that the Menindee Lakes had been deliberately drained so quickly as part of a plan to justify the decommissioning of the lakes.RIP Menindee Lakes

Another flood filled the Menindee Lakes in late 2016, but again they were rapidly drained, almost inexplicably into a flooding river. By then end of 2017 they were again dry just as drought started to bite and Broken Hill was facing another artificial water shortage.

Flush with cash from privatising the electricity networks, the NSW Government spent $500 million building a 270 kilometres water pipeline from the Murray River at Wentworth to Broken Hill. This ended the city’s reliance on the Darling-Baaka River and Menindee Lakes for water supply. Cotton Australia applauded the construction of the pipeline saying in their Annual Report, "The pipeline is a win for the community, the environment and irrigating farmers, and a solution Cotton Australia and its allies have long lobbied for." Meanwhile the local community was concerned that the pipeline would allow the NSW Government to decommission the Menindee Lakes without worrying about Broken Hill's water supply.

Sure enough, plans to reconfigure the Menindee Lakes are back on the table as a project to 'recover water from the environment' under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan's Sustainable Diversion Limit Adjustment Mechanism. The NSW Government wants to save up to 100 gigalitres of water each year by reducing the volume water stored in Menindee Lakes by up to 80%. A range of proposals have been put forward for consultation.

The Darling River Action Group has labelled the plans as 'ecological genocide.' They strongly oppose the huge reduction in habitat that will occur if reconfiguration plans go ahead. They worry that changing the times between and length of inundation in the lakes will have a major impact on fish breeding and birdlife. The Barkindji native title holders are also strongly opposed to the plans, with significant concerns about the impact on their culture, community, environment and sacred sites.

Fish kills and dry rivers and lakes:

Fish Kill Menindee In the teeth severe drought, predictions of environmental catastrophe on the Darling River came true as millions of fish floated dead on the surface. Hot weather and a lack of flows led to a blue-green algae bloom that stripped the water of oxygen when it died, suffocating many millions of fish along a length of the Darling-Baaka River. Images of giant Murray Cod many decades old floating on the surface of a stagnant, bright green river shocked Australians. If water had been stored in the Menindee Lakes, a flow of water in the Darling-Baaka River could have been maintained and millions of fish and other creatures would have survived. It was noted that the very large mature Murray Cod that had died would have survived numerous previous droughts, so what had changed?

A report by the Australian Academy of Science concluded:

The conditions leading to this event are an interaction between a severe (but not unprecedented) drought and, more significantly, excess upstream diversion of water for irrigation. Prior releases of water from Menindee Lakes contributed to lack of local reserves.

A small flow in mid-2019 led to a partial revival of the Darling-Baaka River and water in the upper lakes of the Menindee Lakes system. However, the Menindee Lakes and Darling-Baaka River face three major threats:

1) The proposed re-configuration of the Menindee Lakes system;

2) The continuing overallocation of water extraction licences in the Northern Basin of the Murray-Darling system;

3) The extent and proposed licencing of floodplain harvesting, which is capturing huge quantities of water before it can even reach the waterways of the Darling-Baaka River.

MISSION ETERNITY is an information technology driven cult of the dead.

etoy.CORPORATION digitally sends M∞ PILOTS across the ultimate boundary to explore afterlife, the most virtual of all worlds.

The plan is to install a community of the living and the dead that reconfigures the way information society deals with memory (conservation/loss), time (future/presence/past) and death.

Under the protection of thousands of M∞ ANGELS (the living) M∞ PILOTS (the dead) travel space and time forever.

Independent of religious beliefs and scientific speculations, MISSION ETERNITY starts from the premise that all humans leave behind mortal remains and a massive body of information. We all continue to exist as biomass and traces in the global memory: in governmental data-bases, in family archives, in professional records, and in emotional data stored in the bio-memory of our social network.

At the heart of MISSION ETERNITY stands the creation and ultra-long-term conservation of M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES, interactive portraits and digital communication systems for human beings facing death (M∞ PILOTS).

The M∞ ARCANUM CAPSULES contain digital fragments of the life, knowledge and soul of the users and enable humans to maintain an active presence post mortem: as infinite data particles they forever circulate the global info sphere – hosted in the shared memory of thousands of networked computers and mobile devices of M∞ ANGELS, people who contribute a part of their digital storage capacity to the mission.Read more...

Excerpt from the plaque:

A Chirp by Noel Harding: A Chirp was originally installed at Harbourfront in Toronto back in 2006. Filled with seeds and nuts for urbanized birds and squirrels, the piece was intended to be an active agent in this waterfront micro-environment of Toronto, a process that was disrupted by the City courtesy an alteration to the work that denied foraging animals’ access to its interior through a small hole in the base of the piece.

Relocated out here to The Tree Museum, A Chirps map/territory ratio may have been reimagined and reconfigured, but it is no less meaningful for having been so. Urbanization is, after all, not so very far away; fescue and bluegrass lawns are now an everyday part of Cottage Country as land is planted with non-indigenous flora to suit the tastes and habits of urban escapees. As a container, Harding’s work even effects a possible reading as a kind of micro-sanctuary; set off the ground atop a pedestal, the inverted garden shed cradles arguably even isolates and protects a tiny little fragment of the natural world, pointedly reminding us of the truly precarious condition of things, and that human intervention doesn’t necessarily have to be to the detriment of the living world.

The fans are out in force to capture what will soon be history as CSXT's ex Pan Am local BO-1 noses out toward Lowell Street on the South Reading Branch with MEC 517 leading five empty tank tank cars from the Rousselot plant and one spacer after making the trip out to deliver the final load. The plant is winding down operations and will be closing later this year after being in business in some form for 206 years and with rail service for 173 of those!

The conductor will activate the signals and then flag traffic as the train steps out through the middle of Peabody Square in front of the District Courthouse and beneath the 50 ft tall Soldiers and Sailors monument built in 1881 and inscribed with the 71 names of local residents who died in the Civil War. Prior to 2016 if you'd taken this same shot the monument would have been behind the train in an island in the middle of traffic at the center of the square. However in early 2016 a more than $3 million project to reconfigure the square led to it being moved 30 ft back to this new plaza in front of the courthouse that the train cuts right through. This truly unique and remarkable location will see what may very well be its final train ever two days later when the local returns one more time to retrieve the last empty and take it back to Boston ending an era.

Fortunately, there will be no lack of photos, and the memory of the last trains will live on in stills and videos for future generations of fans to marvel over what once.

A 16,000-ton Symington Yard to Kirk Yard freight passes the junction and depot with the Minneapolis Sub at Owen. This area has been completely reconfigured from the Soo Line days, and nowadays, trains can come and go at 40mph on the connection to Minneapolis. Owen is located at MP 308 on the CN Superior Sub and is 61 miles from Stevens Point, the next crew change point for this train.

Dakota and Iowa trains join on the BNSF Aberdeen Subdivision at Elk Point.

The old Milwaukee Road bridge over the Big Sioux River in North Sioux City, SD, collapsed earlier this year, cutting the DAIR off from their yard in Sioux City. DAIR road trains have been detouring over the BNSF Marshall Subdivision (with BNSF leaders).

Because of the bridge collapse,

the yard in North Sioux City is now a stub end yard. At Elk Point, power was reconfigured to have a Westbound-facing unit for the return trip.

Here is the Southbound DAIR train, now on the BNSF Aberdeen Subdivision, departing Elk Point, SD.
