Redcar Bulk Terminal Limited (RBT) was a joint venture company set up in March 2011 and was jointly and equally owned by Sahaviriya Steel Industries UK Limited (SSI UK) and Tata Steel UK and under this JV the terminal handled raw material imports of iron ore and coal from Europe, Australia, Brazil, South Africa and the United States and enjoyed a direct link by conveyor into the adjacent steel works when it was in operation, which enabled the swift transfer of raw materials required for the steel making. Redcar is the deepest port on the U.K. East Coast, located on the South Bank of the river Tees. The port provides access to vessels of up to 17 metres draft enabling it to handle 'Cape Size' ships of up to 180,000 tonnes dead-weight and is also rail-connected. The two Wharf Un-loaders, one of which is photographed here, have grabs capable of discharging in excess of 40,000 tonnes of bulk material in a working day. Despite the closure of the steelworks the bulk terminal is very much active, handling scrap, coal, slag and other bulk materials, as well as equipment associated with off-shore wind projects.

At this point at the conclusion of your fine Las Vegas Vacation, unless it is your intention to get distracted and accidentally miss your return flight home to London, then your very fabulous Las Vegas Strip Vacation is officially over! However, if you were to accidentally miss your return flight home, there are still really good front row seats available for tonight's showings of FANTASY At Luxor and SEXXY at the Westgate Resort & Casino. Both of these shows are excellent topless shows and worth missing a flight home for.

Cincinnati's Union Terminal is a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture. The station opened in 1933, but had been in the works since the 1890's. The massive station served 7 railroads, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway (NYC), the Louisville & Nashville, the Norfolk & Western Railway, the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Southern Railway.
The principal architects were Alfred T. Fellheimer and Steward Wagner. Famed Art Deco architect Paul Philippe Cret and the Hungarian Modernist Architect Roland Wank were brought in as design consultants. Paul Philippe Cret is credited as the building's architect and responsible for the building's classic Art Deco style. The Rotunda of the building is the largest semi-dome in the western hemisphere, it measures 180 feet wide and 106 feet tall!
Today the Union Terminal no longer servers 7 railroads, just Amtrak. It also housess Cincinnati's history in the Cincinnati History Museum, Museum of Natural History & Science, Robert D. Lindner Family Omnimax Theater, Cincinnati Historical Society Library, Duke Energy Children's Museum, The Cincinnati Railroad Club.
I commend the City of Cincinnati for saving what they could of this beautiful and historic railroad station.
At London Heathrow Airport. This large checkin area serves Terminal 5 and it's two satellite terminals, 5A and 5B.

The scratches on the negative were too bad to clone and spot out, but I kind of like it.

many things happen at the bus terminal,
sometimes you begin a new journey,
sometimes you're at the end of a long journey.
it's the traveling for one point to the other
that gets your minds working...
‘where am I going...”
“how good this trip has been...”
An inbound Skokie Swift "Yellow Line" train has just departed its initial terminal and is seen passing the old Chicago Rapid Transit Dempster Street Tower, in March 1995. CRT provided local service between Howard Street and Dempster Street until 1948, and had a separate terminal and storage yard that once was located out of view to the right. The tower controlled the interlocking on the CNS&M that provided access to the CRT facilities.
A morning flight of my nephew bound to Singapore, we arrived this place around 4:30 AM in the morning.
Bristol Freightliner Terminal is located a short distance down the track from Parson Street station, adjacent to the mainline to Taunton. On the afternoon of Friday 19 January 2018 Class 66 diesel no. 66563 sets back onto the up end of a liner train. This was 4V54 from Southampton Maritime. After reloading with a new set of containers this train would become 4L30, a 1625 hrs departure for London Gateway Freightliner Terminal.
The US Airways Terminal at Phoenix.
Had to go back a few times on the moving walkway to get the right timing for things to line up.
Throw on the blinders,
ignore the signs.
Sink even deeper,
swallow the lie.
Seal all the exits,
tie your own hands.
Burn all the bridges,
head in the sand.
How far did you think that you could run?
You crossed the last meridian.
And it's all coming down now,
as the clock ticks by.
Your life is passing by.
Awaken.

From Wikipedia:
Hoboken Terminal is one of the New York Metropolitan area's major transportation hubs. The commuter-oriented intermodal facility, is located on the Hudson River in Hoboken, New Jersey. It is served by nine NJ Transit commuter rail lines, one Metro-North Railroad line, various NJT buses and private bus lines, the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail, the Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) rapid transit system and NY Waterway-operated ferries. More than 50,000 people use the terminal daily
Designed by architect Kenneth M. Murchison in the Beaux-Arts style, the rail and ferry terminal buildings were constructed in 1907 as the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad. The terminal building is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places (added in 1973 as the Erie-Lackawanna Railroad and Ferry Terminal). It has been undergoing extensive renovations which are projected for completion in 2011.
The large main waiting room, with its floral and Greek Revival motifs in tiled stained glass by Louis Comfort Tiffany set atop bands of pale cement, is generally considered one of the finest in the U.S. aesthetically. The terminal exterior extends to over four stories and has a distinguished copper-clad facade with ornate detailing. Its single-story base is constructed of rusticated Indiana limestone. A grand double stair with decorative cast-iron railings within the main waiting room provides an entrance to the upper-level ferry concourse.
A 225-foot clock tower was originally built with the terminal over a century ago, but was dismantled in the early 1950s due to structural damage and deterioration from weather damage. A new clock tower, replicating the original, was constructed during the terminal's centennial year of 2007. The replica tower has 4-foot-high copper letters spelling out "LACKAWANNA", which are lit at night.
The terminal is considered a milestone in American transportation development, combining rail, ferry, streetcar (later, bus; even later, bus on one side and light-rail on the other), and pedestrian facilities in one of the most innovatively designed and engineered structures in the nation. Hoboken Terminal was also one of the first stations in the world to employ the Bush-type train shed, designed by and named for Lincoln Bush of the DL&W, which quickly became ubiquitous in station design.
In August 2014 the Hamilton County Commissioners voted to put on the ballot for this November a one-quarter of one percent sales tax increase that by law is limited to five years to fund the restoration of Cincinnati Union Terminal.
The tax would generate nearly $172 million in revenue-- and when it is combined with historic tax credits, contributions from the State of Ohio, and philanthropic fundraising efforts it will allow for the complete repair and restoration of Union Terminal.
Hamilton County residents will not be the only ones paying for this. The Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati analyzed and determined that approximately 47% of the sales tax collected in Hamilton County comes from people who live outside the county, thus relieving the tax burden on local residents.
Additionally, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the sales tax increase would cost the average resident just $23 per year. The Hamilton County Commissioners also put in the proposal that by law this increase would end after just five years.
The successful passage of Issue 8 will allow us to preserve Union Terminal and guarantee that it will continue to be an essential part of our region's great heritage. Future generations will benefit from our investment now-- ensuring that our children, and grandchildren, are able to enjoy Union Terminal.
Decades of time, outdated construction techniques and years of freezing and thawing have taken its toll on Union Terminal. But, repairs can be made to the exterior envelope of Union Terminal to prevent water damage and to the steel structures underneath, making the building fit for a very long time into our future. Additional repairs and renovations to outdated mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will make Union Terminal more efficient and create more opportunities for activities within the building.
There are many ways to become involved with the campaign. First and foremost is to make sure you are registered to vote by October 6 and vote 'Yes' on Election Day, November 4th.
