"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."
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.
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.
It hardly stopped raining on the recent day-trip to Westbury, but at least I managed to add to the sum total of just one class 59 in my snapper's portfolio.
With grey skies and glowing lights symbolic of the conditions, Aggregate Industries liveried unit 59005 'Kenneth J Painter' rolls to a stand at Westbury with the early running 1.24pm Whatley Quarry - Dagenham Dock (6L21) loaded aggregate.
It's hard not to be impressed with these lengthy 4,000 tonne plus trains, nor the 30 year old locomotive on the front hauling it. Not quite as ancient as the Great Western Railway platform canopy mind which, by my reckoning, is 120 years old. Any real expert opinions welcomed of course.
Looks best full screen.

Shortly after sunrise 66707 Sir Sam Fay rolls through the frozen Warwickshire countryside heading 6G80 Peak Forest to Small Heath.

With 2,000 tonnes of aggregate and wagons in tow, DB Cargo Shed no. 59204 draws to a halt in Westbury station for a crew change and a brief respite before continuing its journey.
The train is the 11.23am Merehead Quarry - Wootton Bassett (7B12).
I thought it interesting how the body panels looked out of line. Uncropped frame.

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.
The 101 Locust Tower (Wells Fargo Building) in Downtown Denton, reaches into the cloudy North Texas sky.
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!
66711 is seen approaching Langham junction with the 6L27 1714 Mountsorrel sidings - Whitemoor yard 20/6/22. (Taken using a pole)
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.
Aggregates liveried 59002 'Alan J Day' passes the Crofton Beam Pumping station near Bedwyn in Wiltshire. The Kennet and Avon canal adds to the scene. 20/07/20
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.

6G99 Tunstead Sidings to Banbury Reservoir Redland Aggregates
Dunston, Staffordshire
DI1 pulls into Osspiee Aggregates to spot their empties from Rochester. They ran to Dover as a local job today due to BODO never making it out of Boston. The weather forecast was crap all day so I didn't plan on going out, but near the end of my work day the sun started coming out so I chanced it. It made for a good afternoon.
A new spot for lineside photography - in dull conditions here we see GBRF locomotive 66725 heading north through Sutton Bonnington on the MML with 4H96 from Luton Redland Sdgs to Tunstead Sdgs on the afternoon of the 17/12/20.
In glorious afternoon sunshine, GB Railfreight’s 60085 “Snowdon” makes light work of 6J84 12:37 Horton Quarry to Brindle Heath loaded aggregates, seen south of Settle Junction near to Rathmell, a snow covered Ingleborough & Simon Fell on the horizon.

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.
