Thanks for your Views Faves and Comments, have a Great Week. 🌞✌
I just realized that I haven't kept a promise I made a few weeks ago.
And I had promised you the picture of a beautiful historic building that everyone in the city of Lübeck knows, the salt storage. Well, here it is.
It consists of a series of storage buildings built between 1579 (far left) and 1745 (far right). You can see the different architectural styles of the individual parts very well.
Despite the name, not only salt was stored here, but also cloth, grain and wood.
But it all started with salt. This was mainly needed to preserve fish caught in Norway (we're still talking about the 16th century). Pretty impressive.
Soeben habe ich realisiert, dass ich ein Versprechen noch nicht eingelöst habe, was ich vor einigen Wochen gegeben habe.
Und zwar hatte ich Euch noch das Bild eines wunderschönes historischen Gebäudes versprochen, was in Lübeck jeder kennt, den Salzspeicher. Nun, hier ist er.
Er besteht aus einer Reihe von Lagergebäuden, die in der Zeit von 1579 (ganz links) bis 1745 (ganz rechts) erbaut wurden. Man kann sehr gut die unterschiedlichen Baustile der einzelnen Teile erkennen.
Trotz des Namens wurde hier nicht nur Salz gelagert, sondern auch Tuch, Korn oder Holz.
Mit Salz jedoch fing alles an. Dieses wurde hauptsächlich zu konservieren von Fisch benötigt, der in Norwegen gefangen wurde (wir reden immer noch vom 16. Jahrundert). Schon ganz schön beeindruckend.

On Friday March 25th, it was decided to get some stored Metra equipment out of the city to better accommodate our track department as they embark on a tie project on the Elgin Sub this spring. One underutilized location is our Antioch Coach Yard, which with post-COVID schedules leaves us with some room to spare. Here's METX 11 pulling a dozen oldies north over the Fox Lake Sub diamond at Grayslake. The F40's are all older unrebuilt models that have ben pushed out of service since the coming of the Amtrak F59PHI's and were used primarily on the Union Pacific purchase of service lines.
The title may suggest that there is partial space for storage in this structure. The title actually means that you can easily store your six tractor trailer cabs in this barn. Notice the size of the entrance door on the side of the garage! You could put two times this house in the garage. This building is clearly owned by someone who values mechanical toys rather than a big screen TV. Better yet, the TV is probably in the garage. When the husband says he is going to the garage, he could be gone for days. I can see the divorce papers now. “But Judge, he was buying his 7th Semi and all I asked for was a washing machine!”
UP LBU52 completes its pickup at National Warehouse and is about to start its return trip to Butler. The Wisconsin Cold Storage building in the background was built in 1892 with an addition being built in 1928.
Brilliant Cutoff Viaduct Pittsburgh, used to be the Silver Lake Drive In and before that Silver Lake which was filled in
Story of my life, getting to the storage unit and standing there looking at this keyhole.....wishing I had the key that is on the keyrack back home.
Clock is Ticking
The colors of a Thomas Hill empty are obvious against the browns and greens native to the Sand Hills in September. The colorful sets have long been recognizable as THH trains and are currently some of the longest coal trains that run on BNSF. In general, it’s hard to complain about much here. It was supposed to be cloudy, but clearly it is not…yet. More importantly, I have a train to shoot, which as crazy as it sounds now, is not always the case with the current state of affairs. Some boring stuff below.
A little info on Thomas Hill—
During the Biden Admin, the EPA proposed new rules to go after “fossil fuel” plants and their GHG (Greenhouse gas) emissions. In 2024, they briefly became new rules, wherein coal plants/units planning to operate past Jan 1, 2039 were considered “long-term,” units planning to operate after Jan 1, 2032 but cease operation before Jan 1, 2039 were considered “medium term,” and all others planning to cease before Jan 1, 2032 were exempt. It called for the “long-term” units to install CCS (carbon capture and sequestration/storage) with a 90% capture rate by Jan 1, 2032 (this technology does not exist yet). “Medium term” was to co-fire 40% with natural gas by Jan 1, 2030. Thomas Hill is a part of a group of power plants in Missouri without a set retirement date (Sikeston, New Madrid, Iatan, Hawthorn) [Though Sikeston seems on a path to retire sooner rather than later], which means these new regulations would force them to take a position. They may either declare a retirement date before Jan 1, 2032 if they see no reason to pay for these upgrades, or declare a date beyond 2032 and prepare to begin the process of retrofitting.
In June of 2025, the EPA—now under a new Admin—proposed repealing all GHG emission standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, which includes rules set under both the Obama and Biden Admins. There was a public hearing in July of 2025 on the subject and public comment was open until August 7th, 2025. They received 127,000 comments. The end is coming and it’s approaching fast. The next Admin will take office in January of 2029 and will most certainly make their own rules and changes wherever they are allowed to do so. In this context, Thomas Hill and its four Missouri counterparts not yet having retirement dates isn’t exactly promising news as any Admin change, court ruling, or rule change could force them to take a position at any time. There is no comforting way to swallow the fact 2030 is now knocking on the door and that everything eventually turns to shit. Sorry, I modified it.

Sandcut, NE // BNSF Sand Hills Sub
Now used only for storage, this tunnel once formed part of the Mail Rail network. In the 1970's workers of the Mail Rail had their Christmas parties down in these tunnels, and the whole family was welcome. This tunnel was set up for Christmas train rides and on the walls are painted images of the 12 days of Christmas. The first one here is the Partridge in a Pear Tree ..
The Mail Rail tunnels were used to transport mail all around London on a network of automated underground electric trains. It opened in 1927, and only ceased service in 2003.
