They made a nice job of the exposed aggregate finish concrete slab on the sea wall at Dymchurch, U.K.
Water cascades over concrete aggregate blocks in the Active Pool at the Philip Johnson-designed Fort Worth Water Gardens in the south end of Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
I was driving around the industrial area by the river and found an aggregate/concrete business. Lots of interesting patterns.

With the morning sun already sitting lower in the sky, there are some parts around here that won't bask in its rays again until next Spring. However, with luck, the rather splendid house will and the train, catching a relatively open patch as it crosses the busy A6 road, might just be lucky too.
The location is the Derbyshire spa town of Buxton, seen here enjoying some autumnal colour in a shot taken from the elegantly named Victoria Park Road.
The train is the 10.00am Dowlow - Theale Hope Cement (6V20) aggregate, hauled by DB Shed 66175.

Aggregate haulers in action. Ellis & Eastern's empty sand train cuts in front a a waiting Dakota & Iowa loaded rock train in downtown Sioux Falls.
Shortly after sunrise 66707 Sir Sam Fay rolls through the frozen Warwickshire countryside heading 6G80 Peak Forest to Small Heath.
Going back 12 years ago, CP tested these RailMate trailers from Superior to the Twin Cities. On this first test run of April 23, 2008, they called a special train to bring the bogies from Superior to Minneapolis. If I remember correctly, these RoadRailer like trailers were loaded with aggregate off the Iron Range, destined for the western suburbs of Minneapolis. I believe this was the only special RailMate train CP ran and subsequent runs of these things were on the regular 482. The RailMates didn't last long and ended up stored along the TC&W at Hopkins for much longer than they ran.
Here is CP 8802 West on the test train, just west of Saunders, WI on April 23, 2008, running as CP 482. I took this shot from the former Soo grade that all Soo Line trains used to take out of Superior. Just ahead this test train will diverge onto BNSF's Hinckley Sub. and run as a southbound to the Twin Cities.

CEMX 2125 trundles along the old Mojave Northern right-of-way with loaded aggregate hoppers releasing limestone dust in their wake.
First, please accept my apologies for the poor quality of this image. That said, I thought that it may be of interest to some. The date is Aug. 25, 1973 and we are in the Solite Corp. plant near Arvonia, VA on C&O's Dillwyn Branch, now the Buckingham Branch RR. The plant heated slate to make light weight aggregate. Slate pops like popcorn when heated. The result is a light weight aggregate that maintains its strength, while reducing the weight. It is most commonly used to make light weight concrete block. One kiln can be seen in the background, and if I recall correctly, there were three. My guess is that they shipped 10-20 cars a day. Note the conductor, waybills stuffed in his back pocket, conversing with a plant employee. A search on Google Maps indicates that there is little, if anything left of the plant today.

The sun struggles to shine through the milky cloud cover, as train CT-1 with three B39-8s for power approach Route 150 in Wallingford. This train takes stone loads from Tilcons Reeds Gap quarry to Cedar Hill Yard. Later at night, a new crew operating as train CHFP will make the trip to Fresh Pond Yard in Queens, NY. The antique truck on the left is home to the Connecticut Street Rod Association.

Concrete Materials uses its railroad subsidiary, Ellis & Eastern, to move its products around. That means raw materials like sand, as well as industrial products like cement. The railroad's pair of SD40-2Ws accelerate from the sand pit at Corson, S.D., on BNSF's Corson Subdivision. The sand will go to Concrete Materials' plant on the west side of Sioux Falls.

CP Rail 4718, an MLW M636, leads a westbound manifest train beneath an aggregate conveyor system in Zorra, Ontario.
What a lucky break I got on this one. The daily southbound iron ore train for US Steel's Edgar Thomson plant in Braddock, PA is climbing the 1% Saxonburg Hill at the always photogenic SX North signal bridge. This is the Bessemer and Lake Erie in the 2020's, aggregate cars for higher loading capacity, tunnel motors gone, most of the original orange emblemed power gone. CN SD70M-2's rule the roost now, greeted to a lot of chagrining and dismay by the Bessemer purists.
It's hard to not feel their pain, yet for me it's not like all is lost. Modern EMD power and a mostly intact CTC signal system still make it a worthwhile venture to photograph.

Almost didn't bother with this as shooting into the sun...But I like the dust coming off the stone wagons. Creates a nice effect I think.

The comapny Dolata was established in 1998, but it wasn't until 2018 that they expanded to the railway. They started in Dąbrowa (near Poznań) as a gravel/aggregates mine and sorting facility. Now they also do transports and produce concrete. The name comes from the company owner - Agnieszka Dolata.
The expansion to the rails happened (afaik) in 2018 and BR232-789 was the first class 232 locomotive to receive Dolata's black and silver livery. The company currently has a railway operations base in Szamotuły (also near Poznań), where they repair their sizeable fleet, now consisting of a couple of 232 and TEM2 locomotives (additionally - they own an ex-PKP ST44 locomotive, but there are no plans of bringing it back to life).
On a foggy November morning, while visiting my family in Rokietnica, I made my way to the local railway station and snapped this picture of Dolata's first 232 at the aggregate siding near the station. Since then, the station has had a substantial overhaul and the siding has ceased existing.

Excerpt from the plaque:
HueScape by Art Aggregate: With HueScape we want to encourage viewers to engage with the piece as both individual objects and as an immersive space. By shifting vantage points we can focus on the work as a tunnel or view it as a porthole drawing our attention through to the environment beyond the structures.
The work is a marker with delineating lines that mark one’s presence in time and the presence of an act upon the wood.
Freightliner 'Shed' 66588 runs the gauntlet of Friday night passengers and station staff as it rumbles slowly through Reading's platform 8 with the 6.34pm Churchyard Sidings - Whatley Quarry discharged aggregate hoppers (6V51).
Most freight is scheduled to run through platforms 12 and 13 (and, occasionally, 15) but keeping an eye on the virtual signal diagram while staying close to the footbridge can pay dividends for those last minute platform changes - as happened here.
In what is now a mostly rebuilt station, I do like the way the main legacy building has been retained and incorporated into the new structure - a comforting link to the station's heritage. Note too the homage to the station's previous name, Reading General, on the large-scale totem at right. Have to say I thought the 'General' name was given to the station much earlier during Great Western Railway ownership rather than post the 1948 nationalisation, but I could be mistaken.
What isn't in doubt are the sheer numbers of passengers using the facility - some 17million in the year prior to Covid. And, while current numbers are still well down on that, catching a train for the 36 mile ride to London, even in the mid-morning off-peak period, can still be a sardine-like experience.
I also noted that the line at platform 8 is roughly where the through line was in the 1970s. This was where the daily joy could be experienced of a Western passing through the station at speed at the head of the Up "Cornish Riviera Ltd'. Heady days for diesel-hydraulic spotters and snappers alike!
For this image I've opted to not over-egg the lighting, but instead keep it similar to the levels it actually was.
