First ever time at this location and a brand new spot for lineside photography at the time of taking this image.
Here we see SBB Cargo Re6/6 locomotives 620 016 (front) and 620 007 (rear) pass through Immensee with train 67788 from Bodio - Hüntwangen-Wil on the very hot evening of the 18/7/24 (special thanks to Julian for the train ID info).

Late travelling passengers on Leicester station's platform 3 are treated to a southbound freight while waiting on a train to Birmingham due a few minutes later.
The freight is the 8.17pm Mountsorrel Sidings - Radlett Redland Roadstone (6C33) loaded aggregates, hauled by DB Cargo Shed 66059. Despite the decent station lighting it still needed 10,000asa of horsepower to 'stop' it.

Happy Beautiful Bumble Bum Thursday!
this thistle is growing out of the top of the patio wall. I have come close to killing this plant a couple of times but now glad I left it to flower instead. A weed is only a weed if it is unwanted!

Aggregate Industries liveried 66711 awaits the 4N25 18.23 departure from Drax to Jarrow Tyne Coal Terminal, Thursday 25.10.18.
Our 2 hour arranged visit was well timed to coincide with this working unloading and drawing forward to await departure time, along with the sunset and arrival of the blue hour, with the twinkling lights on the towers and conveyors, as well as the yard lights reflecting off the railhead.

DB Cargo 66174 kicks up the dirt working the 06:48 Mountsorrel Sdgs to Elstow Redland Sdg aggregates passed Wellingborough Finedon Road yard.This is the first daytime freight working on the newly re-opened up slow line
With the tide coming in, it was tricky to get a decent image with the waves of the incoming tide, but was so interesting and full of life that it was worth it.
Aggregating anemone - the most abundant species of anemone found on rocky, intertidal shores along the Pacific coast. The anemone is a voracious feeder that eats almost anything that passes by. Stinging cells (nematocysts) on their tentacles paralyze small prey. It can even ingest small crabs and spew out the shells. If they're buried by drifting sand, they can survive for more than three months.
Mossy chiton - found in the middle and lower intertidal zone on exposed rocky shores on the Pacific coast. The can grow to 9cm (3.5in), but are usually found around 3 - 4cm (1.2 - 1.6in). This one was at least 7.6cm (3in), on the larger side. They can be found clinging to rocks by their broad flat foot which it also uses to move about. If they are displaced, they roll into balls in order to protect their soft insides. The inside of their shells are a beautiful turquoise.

Here we see GBRF locomotive 66761 passing Mill Meece in Staffordshire on the WCML during the afternoon of the 20/7/21 with 6H33 from Small Heath Lafarge to Hindlow (Buxton).
Aggregate Industries liveried (GB Railfreight) 66711 'Sence' drags Ex-Greater Anglia EMUs 317670 and 317505 past Waterbeach, working the 5Q35 0835 Ely Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Simsgroup). Both these units arrived at Papworth for storage on 18th December 2020, the units seen again here being dragged to Newport for scrapping.
Aggregate Industries, a US based company, operate the Topley Pike Quarry under the Bardon Aggregates banner. A climb to the top of the hill at the end of Deep Dale yielded this overview of the crushing and processing plant. The quarry lies to the rear left and appears to have few reserves left.
With the recent acquisition of the former Scottish Coal owned Ravenstruther Coal Loading terminal by Cloburn Aggregate Ltd the first loaded train ran on Friday 3rd December. 56 113 stands in Kingmoor Yard the following morning with 6K30 10.09 ex Ravenstruther Stone Terminal loaded with red granite. I assume this will form Monday's 12.01 to Pinnox Branch Sidings, Longport.
Ravenstruther makes a welcome return to the freight network having not seen a train since the collapse of the Scottish Coal Co. in April 2013. The rapid loading bunker at Ravenstruther was demolished a few year back but the horseshoe shaped sidings remained in situ mothballed. Stone is brought by road from Cloburn Quarry a short distance away to the South East of Lanark and loaded onto the railway from a pad where the rapid loader used to stand. The company leased the site from Hargreaves Ltd in 2020 who took on some of the residual assets of what was Scottish Coal but last month Cloburn bought the site outright. The same red granite was used by BR as track ballast 30 years ago and loading back then was carried out from a wall siding in Carstairs Down Yard.
For this week's theme on Macro Mondays, which was... Less Than An Inch.
A so called berry (well, the raspberry), which is not a berry (but an aggregated stone fruit, according to my botany classes at university - the USEFUL stuff they teach you....), amongst seedless grapes...which, ironically, are berries (again, according to the botanists).
Nice colour contrast between the different, well, berries, and since the grape was less than a cm in diameter, the entire frame should definitely be... less than an inch.
And its food. Who's to argue with that....
Finally I made it.... :))
HMM!
DR Class 52.80 'Rekolok' 2-10-0s Nos.52 8154 and 52 8075 (with 52 8079 banking), slog up the grade away from Oberrohn at sunset with a heavy sand train of over 2,000 tonnes trailing load on 1st November 2008. The finale to the 2008 Werratal 'Plandampf'.

Aggregate Industries 59 002 'Alan J Day' rumbles through West Ealing. Having seen Orange and Black 59 202 earlier on coming in the opposite direction I was hoping that it might have turned around at Acton Yard and come back on this working as it had worked it the day before!
Mixed pairing 59005 and 66510 powerfully tread the curvatures at the approach to the Crofton pumping station 6A50 Whatley Quarry-Hanwell Bridge Loop aggregates.

GBRf Aggregate Industries liveried 66711 'Sence' passes Ashwell Gatehouse ,Rutland working the 11:22 Church Yard Castle Cement to Ketton empties.
GBRf's 66711 'Sence', complete with Aggregate Industries blue, green & silver livery, heads onto the Hope Valley line proper as it nears the end of its journey on 6H33, Small Heath cement works to Dowlow quarry.
A glorious evening again, and nice to get out to see 711 for the first time. I had hoped to get the Freightliner jumbo heading the other way into the sunset, but a late running EMR service to Lime Street set that back by 20 minutes, and the light went. One for next week, perhaps.
