Today I was playing around with Scott's make up and I loved to turn out so I decided to upload hope u like ;)
Was driving on Junction Ave and caught the North San Jose switch job switching Univar. It was setting out a new string of tank cars. Power UPY 619 and UP 637,
I've seen this little guy sitting on an industrial spur outside of Brunswick a few times. This time I stopped and shot it.

A wet and muddy morning and a few mills. An early start with a short drive to explore with Martyn, Camerashy - uk and MkWil.
Tone Mills is a complete water-powered cloth finishing works, established by the Fox Brothers and Co at the confluence of the River Tone and the Back Stream and dates from 1830. The remains of the water wheel remain in-situ and so too do all the line shafting and gearing. The Mill later had an electric motor installed to supplement the water-wheel during times of drought, although the water wheel continued to be used for many decades after. Put simply the mill comprises of a number of key areas to accommodate the various stages of production: A Fulling area, where wet cloth was dried, scoured, cleaned and milled to the desired finish. A dying room, adjacent to the fulling area which specialised in producing an indigo colouring. Reservoirs and Sluice gates, to manage the flow of water into the wheel chamber. The wheel chamber and a later power house.
The associated machinery for all the stages of production are all in-situ, making it an industrial archaeologists paradise.
The works finally closed in 2000 and production was moved to a more contemporary location. The buildings and machinery are Grade II* listed.

A 3D printer would make this a lot easier... I just haven't had the time to build these crossing pieces (aqua) by hand. I'll hopefully have these assembled by the time Fx Bricks' P40 switches are released so i can also attempt to make 9V-compatible versions.
This mockup was done in Stud.io and is based on BrickTracks' R104 switch files.
Just another take on this scene from a decade ago.
Long before I ever dreamt I'd be coming here every night to work I found myself poking around Boston Engine Terminal back during the MBCR era while home from Alaska on my annual fall vacation. Stopping outside the gate at 3rd Avenue I stumbled upon the one of a kind work train engine going about a few chores on the Valley Track. This was back before the T owned and controlled the two CSXT (ex B&A) tracks passing over the crossing in the foreground that are now the regular staging location for work train cars and equipment.
MBTA 3247 is a rebuilt GP40-3 that began life as straight GP40 blt. Dec. 1971 as Chessapeake and Ohio 4092. She passed to CSXT and later Ohio Central until being purchased by the MBTA in 2004. She didn't wear her sharp OC burgundy and yellow for long until receiving this variant of T purple and silver. Last run sometime in the later part of 2017, she was already out of service by the time I started here in January of 2018, so to date this is the only time I've seen her move. Currently languishing in Rochester at the MBTA's facility off the MassDOT Cape Main she keeps company with the retired screamers and a few OOS GP40MCs.
Behind is the impressive high line bridge that carries the New Hampshire Route mainline (modern day MBTA Lowell Line) over the former B&A and B&M trackage here just west or south of FX interlocking. This is one of the last remaining pieces of major B&M infrastructure left from that 1931 project that saw the building of a new Boston Engine Terminal and North Station along with four new draw bridges over the Charles and Tower A interlocking to control the terminal trackage and those bridges.

The East Broad Top crew has been had at work with track work over the past several months. Here you can see some new-to-the-railroad ties, the refurbished switches, and some nice and straight trackage. I can't wait to see steam rolling down these lines again!
Norfolk Southern H02 is switching Mennen Products in Morris Plains, NJ. This customer has subsequently closed and the factory has been demolished,
A local picks up a string of hoppers from an industry. Unfortunately, due to the location of the switch and the length of the train, the north switch at Brighton is blocked, preventing the coal empty on the siding from being able to continue north.

Fully Charged Live 2021 (aka Fully Charged Outside) was the latest event to be held at the Farnborough International site in Farnborough, Hants. The three-day event hosted a huge selection of electric vehicles including two PSV products. There was also an internal Park & Ride bus service operating using 8 buses over the course of the event with the addition of an occasional trip to Farnborough (Main) railway station.
I visited on the overcast Saturday and returned on the sunny Sunday. For the record, buses seen were:

A switch job (R921, which is a Proctor crew) backs into Mountain Iron to clear for a northbound limestone load, my primary target. They backed around the curve but I didn't see what they pulled out.

The DM&IR Steelton Switch continues north over the LS&M at South Steelton with four cars back when the Missabe owned this line, but ran far fewer trains than tenant CN.
The Missabe South Dispatcher Keenan has green boards for the 213 as far as Nopeming Jct. along with a track warrant up the Spirit Lake Branch, allowing the crew to tie up at Proctor just after dark on 12/8/02. Consist was a normal looking DM&IR 213, 408, and 203 as the Missabe liked to use one of the regular 7000 hp PRS sets on this move, even if there wasn't much tonnage to move.
