They made a nice job of the exposed aggregate finish concrete slab on the sea wall at Dymchurch, U.K.
"Tugs have been towing aggregate-laden barges out of British Columbia’s Pitt River and on down the Fraser River since the days of wooden scows and steam-powered tugs. Since the earliest days the boats have had to contend with the railway bridge about three miles upstream from the Pitt’s confluence with the Fraser River. Over the generations, skippers have learned a lot about the tides and river currents that challenged the old steam power and continue to challenge the modern diesel-powered tugs. This is not stuff that is taught in maritime training schools. It is knowledge that is learned by making the run with an experienced captain and finally by new captains feeling their way into the job."

I was driving around the industrial area by the river and found an aggregate/concrete business. Lots of interesting patterns.

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.
Aggregate Industries liveried (GB Railfreight) 66711 'Sence' leads the 6T64 0827 Stratford (London) to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf departmental through Waterbeach. 66539 can be seen in the distance.
Corybas (helmet orchids) is an orchid genus found in Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea, Southeast Asia, the Himalayas, southern China and many Pacific islands. Corybas "pigmy" is part of the Corybas trilobus aggregate whose members are characterized by a funnel or dish-shaped labellum and an often heart or kidney-shaped solitary leaf which is about 1 cm (0.4 inch) in diameter. This was the only one in the colony with red polka dots on the helmet, a feature I have not seen in any other picture. I am only just starting to find these little beauties. It helps to first look for tea trees (Leptospermum scoparium) which they are associated with, and then search the leaf litter around the stem. Often the helmet barely shows above the leaf litter and only a bit of gardening exposes all features of the plant.
108 miles from North Station is the reason the old Boston and Maine Conway Branch survives. This is the Ossipee Aggregates sand pit that feeds the insatiable thirst of owner Boston Sand and Gravel's cement plant in the heart of the city. With Boston always changing and reinventing itself new construction is a near constant and the flow of material never stops.
Three quarters of the railroad's roster is seen here, NHN 3823 (GP38-2 blt. Sept. 1978 as CR 8242), 1801 (GP18 blt. Feb. 1960 as CRIP 1341), and 3825 (GP38-2 blt. Sept. 1978 as CR 8244).

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.

DB Cargo's 66198 clatters across Marple Wharf Junction with its rake of box wagons full of stone from Dowlow quarry, destined for the aggregates processing facility at Ashburys (6H52). Marple aquaduct can be seen basking in the sunshine in the foreground.
As is always the risk when photographing the aquaduct in nice weather, numerous people tried their best to inadvertently get in the way of my shot in the run up to the 66's arrival as they ambled along the towpath enjoying the views and the sunshine. I could hear the train rumbling towards the viaduct as a man and his pram were only three quarters of the way across, but luckily he saw me lifting my camera in readiness and obligingly scurried out of the frame with seconds to spare!

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.

Before aggregate mining companies, housing developers, and Utah Transit Authority altered the landscape, the Jordan Narrows between Lehi and Riverton, Utah was a rural retreat with deer, birds, fish, and foxes for sightseers to enjoy. Utilizing trackage rights on the D&RGW granted late in 1985, Union Pacific's LUC51 rolls through the greenery with 71 cars for North Yard in Salt Lake City, Utah on July 8, 1993.
One from my mineral collection is this Natrolite. Natrolite is a tectosilicate mineral species belonging to the zeolite group. It is a hydrated sodium and aluminium silicate with the formula Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O.
Needle stone or needle-zeolite are other informal names, alluding to the common acicular habit of the crystals, which are often very slender and are aggregated in divergent tufts. The crystals are frequently epitaxial overgrowths of natrolite, mesolite, and gonnardite in various orders.

Leptoglossus zonatus is a species of leaf-footed bug, a type of true bugs. It is found throughout much of South America, Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. The bug is two centimeters in length, gray in color, with a zigzagging whitish band across its back and two distinctive yellowish spots on its anterior pronotum, the identifying characteristic for the species.
This leaf-footed bug is one of the two major pests of physic nut plants in Nicaragua. In Honduras, where the bug is known commonly as chinche patona (large-legged bug), it is a minor garden pest. It is a pest of many crops in Brazil and it may transmit the plant pathogen Herpetomonas macgheei, a trypanosomatid protozoan. It breeds in pomegranate and desert willow trees, and the gregarious bright orange nymphs aggregate there. It is a serious pest of satsuma oranges in Louisiana, causing damage by feeding and by transmitting the pathogenic yeast Nematospora coryli.
60028 rounds the curve on the approach to Westbury and Hawkeridge Junction on a hazy yet sunny morning on the first day of the meteorological Spring, working the 6M52 08.44 Tytherington-Willesden Sidings loaded aggregates in connection with the construction of HS2.
It had been over a few years since my last sighting of the blue Cappagh tug. I had no idea of the allocation until I’d got there either, which made it a pleasant bonus (ta Scotty for the advance gen). It was that long ago that, along with the DCR tug fleet, it has received the LED light cluster treatment since.

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.
