This started as a low-light telephoto shot of a ship at twilight. It is actually the moon in the sky. You know, it just doesn't matter. Hope you like it.
Narvik, Norway.
Narvik has a double personality. On the one hand, its location is spectacular, pincered by islands to the west and mountains in every other direction, while spectacular fjords stretch north and south. At the same time, heavy industry casts a pall of ugliness over the rather scruffy downtown area – the town was founded in 1902 as the port for the coal-mining town of Kiruna in Swedish Lapland and the trans-shipment facility bisecting the city still loads several million tonnes of ore annually from train wagons on to ships.

V roku 2019 sa opäť, po troch rokoch, uskutočnila skúšobná nakládka vápenca vo vlečke spoločnosti Calmit Tisovec pre USS v Haniske pri Košiciach. Na fotke je vidieť prvú takúto prepravu
pozostávajúcu z 9 vozňov radu Tdgns a nakoniec celkovo tieto prepravy trvali asi 3 mesiace a to najmä z dôvodu nedostatku krytých výsypných vozňov dopravcu ZSSK Cargo, nakoľko tu boli
nasadené vozne tesne pred koncom platnej revízie. Ku koncu
už jazdili len 3 vozne keďže vozňom sa končili revízie a nové sa už nevykonali. A tak nakoniec táto preprava skončila keďže odberateľovi USS to nepokrylo ani denné množstvo ktoré potrebovali. A tak vlečka v Tisovci do
dnešných dní ostáva nevyužívaná. Vlak prechádza miestnou časťou Mútnik ktorý sa nachádza severne nad Hnúšťou.
Mútnik (časť Hnúšte) patril a stále patrí k jedným z najväčších mastencových a magnezitových ložísk v Gemeri-Malohonte. V roku 1873 práve pri výstavbe železnice, 3 km na sever od Hnúšte, bolo objavené
mastencovo-magnezitové ložisko Mútnik. A aj keď sa to tak nezdá tak sa ťaží dodnes. Okrem spoločnosti Genes (Gemerská Nerudná spoločnosť) ex Talcum Hnúšťa ktorá je v pozadí sa ťaží aj nad Hnúšťou
spoločnosťou Intocast. No železničnú dopravu už nevyužíva ani jedna z nich. Kým firma Intocast vlečku využívala cca do roku 2017 tak firma Genes vlečku nevyužíva už dlhé roky. Čo nasvedčuje aj opustený vagón
Raj s označením ČSD 84 54 932 2 629 Uacs. V pozadí je aj vidieť niekdajší strážny domček, v súčasnosti obývaný značnou komunitou rómov a značne zdevastovaný a obstavaný inými nelegálnymi stavbami. V roku 2017
došlo k náhrade dopravných značiek STOP novým priecestným zabezpečovacím zariadením a taktiež k výstavbe priecestníka.

In 2019, again, after three years, a test loading of limestone took place in the siding of the company Calmit Tisovec for the USS in Haniska pri Košiciach. The photo shows first transport
consisting of 9 Tdgns wagons and finally these transports in total lasted about 3 months, mainly due to the lack of covered dump wagons of the carrier ZSSK Cargo, as there were
deployed wagons just before the end of the valid revision. At the end
they already drove only 3 wagons as the wagons were overhauled and new revisions were no longer performed. And so, in the end, this shipment ended as the USS customer did not even cover the daily quantity they needed. Now, Calmit siding in Tisovec remains unused till now. The train passes through the local part of Mútnik, which is located north of city Hnúšťa.
Mútnik (part of Hnúšťa) belonged and still belongs to one of the largest talc and magnesite deposits in Gemer-Malohont. In 1873, just during the construction of the railway, 3 km north of Hnúšťa, was discovered
talc-magnesite deposit Mútnik. And even though it doesn't seem that way, talc and magnestie is still mined today. In addition to the company Genes (Gemerská Nerudná spoločnosť) ex Talcum Hnúšťa, which is in the background, also mines over Hnúšťa
by Intocast. However, none of them uses railway transport anymore. While the company Intocast used the siding until about 2017, the company Genes has not used the siding for many years. Which is indicated by an abandoned wagon
Raj with the designation ČSD 84 54 932 2 629 Uacs. In the background you can also see a former guard house, currently inhabited by a large gypsy community and greatly devastated and surrounded by other illegal buildings. In 2017
the STOP traffic signs were replaced by a new level crossing.
The abandoned Texas & Pacific Freight Warehouse decays on the south end of Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
A Slovak flatbed, Polish and Czech coaches, and a German carriage for oversize loads. That all in one special train, headed by SM31-021.
Every now and then there is a train heading out from Wrocław. On its hook is a power generator (they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes), which is headed for the harbour of Gdynia for further shipment abroad. The train takes the least used routes to not interfere with standard train traffic. The last part of the route usually leads via Czersk, Kościerzyna and Somonino (on the old coal mainline).
However, yesterday the train was routed differently. After a night spent in Chojnice, it set out in the early morning towards Czersk, and then further down the old Ostbahn towards Starogard Gdański, where it was to spend the night between 07.12 and 08.12.2024.
I was very happy to catch a train here because usually nothing really interesting uses the Ostbahn between Czersk and Tczew, and there are a few interesting spots to make use of here.
The pictured train was running as 553000 from Czersk to Pszczółki. In Pszczółki it will most likely wait until the coming night to make the last stretch to Gdynia. Here it is seen in very humid conditions, as it was arriving at Kaliska, to wait for an upcoming regional train from the other direction.
I must say that I'm personally extremely happy with this picture, must be one of my personal favorites of the last few months.

The sturdy steelwork of the DM&IR bridge over Crawford Creek feels the weight of a loaded natural ore train. This train was loaded at the Auburn Mine along the DM&IR and was destined for the blast furnaces of U.S. Steel's Gary Works in Indiana.
In early 1994 mining of natural ore began again at the dormant Auburn Mine, one of the last known pits of natural iron ore on the Mesabi Range, near Virginia. The primary recipient of this ore was US Steel's Gary Works. Initially the ore was to be shipped through the DM&IR ore docks and lake vessel. However, the moisture content of the unscreened ore made it sticky and dumping at the dock was difficult. So, in October 1994, managers opted to move the ore in all-rail trains using DM&IR cars and via a DM&IR-WC-EJ&E routing.
Originally slated to be only 4 trains, then upped to 10, it ended up being a total of 20 that year. The following year, August 1995, Auburn all-rail trains started up again with 35 trains operated up to mid-October. In 1996, a drying/screening plant was built at the Auburn Mine to solve the moisture problems and dock/boat shipments resumed as originally intended, thus ending the movement of natural ore over the WC. WC symbols for these trains were EJELD for loaded trains and EJEEM for empty movements.
The above info was pirated from my WC book Volume 2 and was co-written with my friend Brian Buchanan who worked in the WC marketing/traffic department.
The classic unelectrified old coal mainline carries the legacy of almost 100 years of transporting goods from southern Poland for export in the harbour of Gdynia. As of now (the beginning of 2025) it only has mere months to go before modernisation (notice the rails laying on the track!). A second track and electrification is what this line desperately needs, as it serves more and more commuters from Kartuzy and Kościerzyna towards Gdynia and Gdańsk.
One of the elements which I will be missing the most will be the telephone pylons, which decorate most of the line. They are one of my favorite details to photograph here, both because of their old age and the fact that it's hard to find a line, which has them running along nowadays.
Today the first train to the fuel base in Ugoszcz made a return from Lipusz to Gdynia Port, and I could snap a quick picture of it as it was leaving Żukowo Wschodnie towards Gdynia, headed by BR232-502 of Cargounit, here working for Qemetica Cargo.

My machinima/ video art, The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo, has been selected by the New Media Film Festival, in the Mixed Reality category. The festival is based in Los Angeles, showing in Event 3 – Screenings [online], 2 June 2021, 8.30-10.3pm PDT (3 June 2021, 4.30-6.30am BST).
Some 31 years since they debuted on hotshots over Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe's fabled Chicago–Los Angeles mainline, GP60M 123/GP60B 329/GP60B 339/GP60M 104/GP60M 108 find themselves working at a slower pace on BNSF Train M-CHWSPO1-09 (Manifest, Chewelah, Wash.–Spokane, Wash.) passing through Clayton, Wash. But make no mistake: The "Chewie Turn" ain't no retirement gig.
The GP60s offer precisely what's needed for BNSF Railway's Kettle Falls Subdivision running north out of Spokane: B-B trucks to comply with the subdivision's restriction on six-axle locomotives and 3,800 horsepower per locomotive to haul heavy lumber and sand shipments over the greater than 1-percent grades of the 56-mile route.

It combines Second Life art with archive film - collage or montage!
The exhibition of art in containers is by ꓟarina ꓟunter and will be at The ꓖ.B.T.H. Project until September 2020. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/the%20GBTH%20project/52/22...
Outgoing Cargo! is an archive film made in the 1950s for the National Association of Manufacturers in the United States. It promoted American capitalism, and introduced the viewer to ‘a steel container called a cargo van’, as a new innovation for shipping.
A whole case.
The cookie is smaller, the box is smaller, the price is higher.
So... I ordered a case. Half for immediate consumption. The other half is crushed to use for ice cream topping!

--BREAKING NEWS--
The Russian government has been completely sealed off from the outside world. New Regime officials have not made any comment on the situation, any ex-government offic.. excuse me.. I’m getting new information as we speak. Ok. We are receiving headcam footage of a raid right now. If you have any children nearby please do not allow them to watch this. Viewer discretion is advised. Stand by… U.S. led, NATO forces are in what appears to be a shipyard, some sort of operation is underway, we are still receiving information on the raid. This is a live feed from Poreč, Croatia. NATO troops are attempting to secure a landing ground for an armored division. Again, this is a live feed of a U.S. led, NATO raid on a shipyard in the port city of Poreč, Croatia. We advise that children are not allowed to watch this footage. Viewer discretion is advised.
[Soldiers are seen stacking up against the side of a house preparing to turn the corner. *multiple gunshots come through the feed before the audio is killed* Two Russian soldiers come into view, both bodies are sprawled out on the ground. A squad of NATO troops secures the building and prepares to move on. Seconds later the feed cuts out.]
We just witnessed a live raid on a Russian controlled port city. NATO troops will be able to sweep across the region once they control the port, it’s their ticket into the eastern part of Europe.
The second build in my little story. Please enjoy the build and the shotty story! I'd love to hear any feedback you have down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen as a group of market stalls. The Tesco name first appeared in 1924, after Cohen purchased a shipment of tea from T. E. Stockwell and combined those initials with the first two letters of his surname. The rest as they say is hostility!
Excerpt from Cdr. Bannon’s log: Since I was already in the system, high command tasked me with a covert operation on the planet Gorse. The mission was to infiltrate a New Republic thorilide refinery, and plant a transmitter spike for future operations. This was usually a mission for a small crew like Reaper Squad, but ever since Nadiri, and Rae Sloane’s strike on Gorse, New Republic security has tightened. This meant I was to spearhead a diversion, disguised as a diplomatic mediator between Zeltron suppliers and the refinery boss, while Reaper Squad and a stormtrooper platoon from the 88th infiltrated the installation.
Cdr. Bannon: Greetings Dr. Sihlbar. I’m here to deliver a message from Minister Freyi An’zeli.
The two New Republic security officers flinched as Cdr. Bannon held out a small holoprojector, and a beautiful (by humanoid standards) flickering figure came to life mid-air…
Minister Freyi: Dr.! I will dispense of the pleasantries and get straight to business. For too long have you and your new government exploited the hospitality of Zeltron. We will block all baradium shipments rerouted from the Zel system until you agree to Cdr. Bannon’s terms…
The Zeltron paused for a moment...
Minister Freyi: Should you choose not to agree, Zeltron will turn to the aid of the Imperial Triumvirate!
The Mon Calamari Dr. looked from side to side, blinking a few times before muttering…
Dr. Sihlbar: Tshis es non negoseable? Tshe New Rebublic does not answer to imperial threatsh.
A transmission crackled through to Cdr. Bannon’s hidden ear-pierce…
Lt. Sin Veruna: Commander. I’m in position. Ready to take out the scum on your signal!
Cdr. Bannon turned his attention to the Mon Calamari...
Cdr. Bannon: You can kiss your Baradium supply goodbye.
Lt. Delp Wep: Not s-so hasty. A renegotiation of the agreement with Zeltron sh-should take place with the Gorse refinery administration, not with the refineries directly. I suggest you make an appointment with the board. We can escort you to the administration building.
Cdr. Bannon: That won’t be necessary!
The Commander nodded, and the low muffled sound of two silent sniper bolts - PZZHAM - BZZHAMM - is drowned out by the mechanical hum of the refinery...

Another entry for the Factions RPG (www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/forum/188-fact...)
For this one i did a lot of small experiments. Some things I hope to incorporate in future builds... Let me know what you think!
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

After coal shipments from Wyoming's Powder River Basin began to explode in the late 70s and beyond, the former CB&Q line through Crawford, Nebraska picked up an enormous amount of traffic. Although one would think of Nebraska as flat, the grade from Crawford to Bellmont was a sustained grade that included a horseshoe curve. Railfan photographers started to show up on a line that was a sleepy secondary route before, and eventually that included me. Three pusher sets of SD40-2s and a fuel tender (a tank car with diesel fuel, tied into the locomotive fuel tanks) were stationed at Crawford to shove trains over the hill. On June 28, 1988, I stepped foot in Crawford for the first time in my life, only to see the classic "Q" depot was soon going to be razed. Looking through an open window I spied this chalk board (no longer used) used to keep track of the units and fuel tenders. One photo captured a bit of nostalgia before it was gone.
Mark, the Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) changes colors, not typically to blend into an environment, but based on temperature and mood. This is similar to chameleons, who often communicate with one another through their flashy displays. Interestingly, the treefrog's skin is fused to his skull, an adaptation that minimizes water loss. Also, so invasive is this species that if you get caught selling one in Hawaii (where the these frogs have colonized Oahu), you could wind up in jail and paying fines of up to $25,000!
Mark lives in captivity after being rescued from what would have been an ill-fated trip stowing away on a greenhouse shipment.
