I was driving around the industrial area by the river and found an aggregate/concrete business. Lots of interesting patterns.
After running loaded aggregate cars to Grayslake Sand and Gravel, we are almost back to the beginning point of the day, at Spur 105 at Sussex. Here we are holding behind another northbound at Vernon, waiting for a southbound meet. So, the opportunity seemed right for me to hop off and get a shot of the aggregate train atop the bridge and have conductor Mark back the train onto the bridge. The perks were pretty good at times.

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.

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.
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.

CP Rail 4718, an MLW M636, leads a westbound manifest train beneath an aggregate conveyor system in Zorra, Ontario.

IC 1028 heads south with 100 loads for the Union Railroad at North Bessemer. It was nice to see 17 of the old quad hoppers up front with loads of limestone. Last year CN purchased 600 new aggregate style cars to replace the tired fleet of Bessemer 4-bay hoppers for ore service.
66711 is seen approaching Langham junction with the 6L27 1714 Mountsorrel sidings - Whitemoor yard 20/6/22. (Taken using a pole)
DRS liveried 66433 is seen reversing its empty rake into the loading sidings at Peak Forest. Meanwhile 37716 sits at the head of a full rake of aggregate wagons. The light that afternoon was a real treat after "full dull" I had endured at Acton Bridge all morning.
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.
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.

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.

With 66770 sat in the loop at Saltley with 4H33 Banbury Reservoir Redland Aggregates to Hindlow, newly InterCity Executive liveried 43184 (43384) leads 1S51 Plymouth to Edinburgh Waverley out of Birmingham.
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.
This is The Cell Aggregate Of Bio-Mecharoids.
