Many mainlines in the country have a lot of industries along the line that are serviced by local freights. Alas, the Moffat is not one of those mainlines. In fact, the only remaining industry served by a local between Denver and Bond is the Arcosa Lightweight aggregate plant. It is located at the far north end of the Rocky Flat Industrial Lead, about four miles north of Rocky. Here is an overview of the plant and almost two dozen covered hoppers at the plant. A pair of GP40-2s just dropped off three more covered hoppers for the plant.

With the closure of the Goblin line for Electrification work several freight diversions are making it quite busy through here. Aggregate Industries 59002 comes through on platform 10 with the Dagenham Dock ARC to Acton TC hoppers.Going through platform 10a 70017 is passing on the Garston to London Gateway liner.A London Overground 378 unit is about to depart for Richmond.
They are elegant flowerlike animals that have a tube-shaped body crowned with tentacles. (Elegantissima means most elegant) Sizes can vary; the crown’s diameter can get up to 80 mm (3.5 in) and the column diameter can get up to 60 mm (2.5 in). They do not need to go seek food; it comes to them constantly as the current carries tiny crustaceans and other animals past their tentacles. All they have to do is capture prey by stinging it with the nematocysts on the surface of their tentacles. Anemones can even ingest small crabs and then spew out the shells.
Aggregating anemones live on rocks in the middle intertidal pools and crevices, either alone or in dense masses. Although they live side by side, clone mates from different groups are enemies.
Sticky bumps on their bodies collect sand and bits of shells, which provide camouflage and prevent them from drying out. If they get buried by drifting sand, they can survive for more than three months. Oil spills or oil from storm drains, however, can destroy anemone habitats—and it can take two years or more for habitats to recover. If you go tide-pooling, be careful not to walk on or disturb anemones or other tide pool creatures. (more than one tired tide-pooler has sat down on a rock for a short rest, only to discover they are sitting on a wet and squishy anemone!)

Anthopleura elegantissima at minus tide,
North Point,
Morro Strand State Beach,
Morro Bay, California
I am still trying to make sense of this scene--one group of exposed anemones with many more bits of shells covering them on the right and the same species much less covered on the left. My very educated friend suggests that the anemones on left have more sand to protect them from overexposure, But I'm not so sure about that. For perspective, we are looking straight down at a fairly flat rock with the ocean to the left of the scene. Input welcome.
Later note: here's a better answer which I came upon while reading a great new book: “These elegant, green, pink-tipped Anthopleura elegantissima anemones grow on boulders on Pacific beaches . . . . each clone is incapable of tolerating non-self anemones within touching distance. The first result is a set of distinct border zones between clones, like the frontiers between warring states, traceable for yards across the boulders, what might be called 'the hate strips' separating one clone from another, and each an inch or two wide.”-- Adam Nicolson, Life Between the Tides
Aggregates traffic moved between Merehead Quarry and Thorney Mill Terminal produced this view taken at Berkley in July 1988. BR Railfreight 56051 had an assortment of loaded bogie hoppers [PHA] in tow forming the 6A52 07:40 SX from Merehead to the Thames Valley terminal.
This particular Class 56 locomotive was built at BREL, Doncaster Works, being delivered in November 1978. It would join the EW&S fleet in 1995 and following withdrawal, it was later reinstated and gained the 'fertis' branding pending possible use on construction trains in France. In due course was given a new lease of life and can be seen in 2023 in Colas Rail Freight colours and aptly named 'Survival'. I do like a happy ending!

Cross London aggregates. 60029 is pictured taking the West London line at Culvert Road, between Longhedge and Latchmere Junctions, with 6Z71 1035 Grain to Willesden DC Rail Sidings loaded working. It's difficult to get any wider here without a ladder as you have to poke the camera through holes cut in the mesh and the buddleia prevented going to the next hole along as it would be lapping the loco bogies.
