I never get tired of wandering around Seattle's Fishermen's Terminal, where TV's Deadliest Catch moor their boats. Old and new, there's always something interesting to look at. And worthy of a photo or two!

60026 Helvellyn is at the head of 6N84 04.50 Tyne Coal Terminal - Lynemouth Power Station loaded biomass, pictured approaching Bedlington on the line from Morpeth. 66712 Peterborough Power Signalbox is on the rear, and will lead the train after its reversal south of Bedlington. [Pole, 3/6 sections (~4m)]
This was my main reason for spending a few days in the north-east. Lynemouth biomass trains were being diverted via Morpeth while work to prepare their normal route south of Bedlington for the reintroduction of passenger services was being completed. The line between Bedlington and Morpeth normally sees very little traffic, essentially only the alumina trains between North Blyth and Fort William, which run two or three times each week, and at times which make them very difficult to photograph on the line. I'd seen a heavily backlit shot of the empties along this stretch, taken a few years ago late one summer evening, and realised that the light angle would be perfect early in the morning... The diverted biomass trains looked like they would provide the perfect opportunity to do the shot, especially after driving along here when I visited in April. The line runs almost east-west at this point.
But the first biomass train was booked to arrive at Bedlington at around 6am - and back in April, that was just before sunrise. The empties going back (with a loco on the rear, of course) and the next loaded train (if it ran) would be over four hours later, by which time the sun would be almost exactly in line with the track. My only hope was that there would be some good weather during May half term week (when it would be light enough at 6am), and that this train ran.
But the weather during half term was poor, and I stayed at home. However, a few weeks later (closer to the summer solstice - so a slightly earlier sunrise) there was a sunny week forecast, so I took a week off work. Unfortunately, I wasn't free to drive up until Monday and, typically, the forecast changed so that Monday was wall-to-wall sun but Tuesday and Wednesday mornings were to be thick cloud (Wednesday was also misty), and Thursday and Friday were "sun and cloud". Early Saturday morning was initially looking very good (that subsequently changed to full cloud), but there were no trains running - I assume there was an engineering possession. In the end I drove up on Wednesday (having spent much of Monday ill in bed!) - although that meant I was around at home when GBRf's Colas-liveried 60096 was hired to DCR and worked to and from Brandon (getting three shots of it on Tuesday's empties).
Then the news came through of a serious warehouse fire at the Port of Tyne, which had started on Wednesday afternoon, and it looked like there would be no trains to Lynemouth on Thursday - and there weren't (although the train which had spent the night there did eventually make it back to Tyne Dock - see this photo). But it was looking good for Friday's trains - one set of wagons only, so just two return trips rather than the four for which schedules existed - with 6N84 having been "called" (activated) and with locos showing before I went to bed the previous evening. The alarm was set for 4.15am.
Bedlington is about half an hour's drive from my mother's house (as long as there are no traffic queues at the Tyne Tunnel), so I was here in plenty of time, although the train had set off before I did. But as I drove along Barrington Road, I began to wonder if it had all been in vain: I'd not accounted for the low sun still being behind some tall trees on the north side of the road - and where I'd planned to shoot the train, a stretch completely clear of lineside vegetation and with the railway only a few feet higher than the road, was still in shadow. There was also a lot of cloud around, and it was difficult to see whether the sun would rise enough in the short time to at least light the train, but it looked very unlikely. Luckily I found a spot further along that was shadow-free, but the difference in levels between the road and railway was greater and, more significantly, a few low bushes partly blocked the view of the train; the shot wouldn't be anything like as good.
So I set up here to make the best of the situation. The original plan to use a slight telephoto lens went out of the window because the gap between the bushes was so short, and I needed to stand closer to make the most of the gap. There was also the added complication that the lower road meant I needed to use the pole, but it was a very windy morning... I just about managed to hold it steady at this height, but I've had to combine two frames in order to restore the top of the lamppost to the shot where the loco was in the best position. The sun had been out when I arrived, but had soon dropped back behind some thin cloud, although there was another gap on the way - but probably not soon enough, so I was resigned to getting a dull shot. However, miraculously, as the train came into view - six minutes early (so just before 6am), there was a brighter burst, with some weak shadows; I clung onto the pole to try my best to keep it steady, pressed the shutter, and hoped for the best!
I was amazed how well it has come out, especially given the aperture is larger than I usually like to use. When the images were viewed on the back of the camera, the train leapt out (probably helped by the dark sky), and I drove off happy. In processing, I've increased the brightness slightly and used the haze reduction function a little, albeit less than I sometimes do on sunny pictures.
Bedlington railway station was built slightly to the east of Bedlington, and, as has happened in many places, a new settlement grew up around the station - so this area is officially known as Bedlington Station, although both Bedlington and Bedlington Station have expanded to become a single built-up area. Barrington Industrial Estate (as on the road sign) was built on the site of Barrington Colliery, established in 1821 on land leased from Lord Barrington, and closed in 1948. All the "Barrington" references in the area are about the one-time local landowner - but it made me smile as I'd started this week photographing the spoil empties from the landfill site that was once Barrington Cement Works close to the Cambridgeshire village of Barrington!
I ended my day of photography, over fourteen and a half hours later, stood further down this road and looking the other way...

While walking around this terminal I was inspired by the linear forms and bright colours. I'm really throwing out the composition rules with this image but I think the busy framing helps with this shot via 500px ift.tt/2iMSdXE
The Terminals Building is located at 537 S. Dearborn Street,Chicago, IL. Completed in, 1892, it's was architect: John M. Van Osdel and was notable for being his last design. Can Osdel was considered Chicago’s “first” architect,
Van Osdel planned the first architect-designed house in Chicago for the first Mayor of Chicago, William Ogden. In 1844, he opened Chicago's first architectural firm.
The Central Terminal train station was opened in 1929 and closed in 1979. Time and vandals have taken a toll on this magnificent structure. Ther is a group in Buffalo trying to restore the terminal and facility once used for the Robert Redfor movie "The Natural."

After falling a little short on my last attempt to build a micro freight terminal, I decided to give it another try. This time, I used a smaller scale (1:305 instead of 1:200) and narrowed the scope a little so that I could include all of the details that were missing from the first one.
This diorama is a section of a small, manned freight terminal, designed to handle both containerized and RO-RO cargo. A Panamax class container ship is docked at the quay and is ready to be unloaded. In the staging areas of the terminal are the cargo from a recently unloaded RO-RO ship, including a fleet of new cars and some heavy equipment (including a few ultra-class, 400-ton mining trucks). Yard trucks and reach stackers are busy moving containers around the yard, and there are two fully loaded freight trains on the rail spurs ready to pull out.
As I was shooting the Pan Am Railways OCS at Tower A, I got word that B721 was approaching CP-3 on the B&A, and would be coming at us shortly. After a quick shot on the Grand Junction, we see the train passing Boston Engine Terminal on the 4th Iron.
In the same building since 1893, the Reading Terminal Market offers various kinds of food, including meats, cheeses, candies, ice cream and seafood. There are flower, jewelry, and kitchen linen stands, too. There are so many different places to sit and eat, or you can walk around the market, chomping down, while deciding what to taste next!

Located in Athletic Bowl, Baguio City, Philippines; this vacant lot has been repeatedly used by buses as a parking space or a mini depot. I'm not really sure if this lot is a legitimate terminal but it has always been subject to various controversies in Baguio.
One can see that frequent "parker" here are Partas Trans, Ohayami buses, various "Die-hard" classic buses, and Haranah Tours. I have no idea if there would be more buses involved but these are the buses I frequently see when I pass by the said road.

The Main Concourse at Grand Central.
Grand Central Terminal, also known as Grand Central Station or simply as Grand Central is a commuter rail terminal at 42nd St. and Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
It is the third busiest train station in North America, after New York Penn Station and Toronto Union Station.
The distinctive architecture and interior design of Grand Central Terminal's station house have earned it several landmark designations, including as a National Historic Landmark. Its Beaux-Arts design incorporates numerous works of art. Grand Central Terminal is one of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions, with 21.6 million visitors in 2018, excluding train and subway passengers. The terminal's main concourse is often used as a meeting place, and is especially featured in films and television. Grand Central Terminal contains a variety of stores and food vendors, including a food court on its lower-level concourse.
Grand Central Terminal was built by and named for the New York Central Railroad; it also served the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad and, later, successors to the New York Central. Opened in 1913, the terminal was built on the site of two similarly-named predecessor stations, the first of which dates to 1871. Grand Central Terminal served intercity trains until 1991, when Amtrak began routing its trains through nearby Penn Station. The East Side Access project, which will bring Long Island Rail Road service to a new station beneath the terminal, is expected to be completed in late 2022.

The New York Central's Buffalo Central Terminal stands alone and unused in 2018 but it's current owners have a vision of it one day opening again. They have done a marvelous job with very little money to attempt to restore the building. At this point, all four clocks on the tower were functioning as intended.

The new Mersey Ferry ticket Terminal on the dock front. What i consider to be a 'Whaky' sixties cartoon building. no vertical lines excepting the doorways. on its own a stunning and daring piece of atrchitechture. next to the classic three graces...... does it fit in. stil considering this.
Talleyrand Terminal, ex- Apalachicola Northern, SW1500 #712 switches tankers around at an industry inside of Jax Port. I didn't think I could get a shot of this engine hood forward as it is always coupled on the hood side when switching in and out of the port. Glad I got to see it, especially in good light.

seems to be considerable discussion, particularly regarding incorrectly naming this as Kennicott Glacier by "Geomorphological Features" - www.facebook.com/GeoFeatures/posts/pfbid02nUTJjPp27wdrukM...[0]=AZVaPsbBfulcMo7XiND-aiMLXVra6VZQI6JUwuhrtWHDbnKBjh1Vu29HzvG83nzRu5nmqTOI-9IHYTecECy3RvVe42YfWaQHoFDpIxqsIVcv1Vt3LJFz1oYIlslGux9rcNdHH2Aw3P9mN18cSddRg-6wSS_rOvWyyu_Qs2KnafEdnw&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R
