Here is another from the archives over a decade old. It too was long ago posted on RP but figured it belonged here now. This is the caption I wrote at the time:
What we have here is a rather unique and fascinating operation. Flint Hills Resources operates a large refinery in North Pole, Alaska and they lease a fleet of nearly 450 tank cars that are handled between Fairbanks and Anchorage by the Alaska Railroad (FHR is the ARR's single largest customer). Recently FHR decided not to renew the lease on 118 cars owned by GE Capital due to fatigue issues (many cars were suffering from cracked center sills). GE elected not to ship the cars to the lower 48 for repair and instead arranged for their scrapping in Alaska.
After the cars were cleaned they were sold to Schnitzer Steel for disassembly. On this date the first 29 cars were removed from their wheels in a ballet of efficiency. The first car took about 20 minutes but once they got into their groove it took less than 6 minutes per car!
Here's how it worked. A wheel car was spotted at the very end of a spur track inside the North Star Terminal on the Port of Anchorage. Then an ARR geep shoved a long string of tank cars onto that same spur. The crew would cut away from the last car about 10 feet and then a longshoreman would torch the brake rigging. Once that was done another operator in a heavy lift forklift would lift the tank body off the trucks leaving them on the rails (look beneath the green sheer and you'll see a tank car up in the air). Then a large crane mounted magnet would lift the truck side frames and spring package off the rail and deposited them in a side dump truck. Wheels that were marked to be kept (the ARR purchased some) were loaded onto the wheel car (or staged next to the track once it was full as can be seen to the left of this image).
While the magnet did its thing the forklift ran down toward the dock face where they were making a giant pile of tank car bodies. By the time the forklift returned all the wheel and truck components were off the rail and another tank car was in position and ready for its turn.
This was truly a fascinating ballet to watch.... Ultimately, the tank bodies are going to be piled high on a barge for shipment to the Puget Sound area where they will be processed for recycling.

street components
The street shows various components, today the trail of the red one - the buddha and the red bird.
A component from inside one of my son's computers is amazing to me how something unseen can look quite attractive ( to me anyway) the sky blue color slightly reflects in the metal.
The Gloster Gamecock biplane first flew in 1925 and was the RAF’s last wooden fighter, serving with several front-line squadrons. No complete Gamecock survives. The Jet Age Museum’s reproduction Gamecock has been finished as J7904, of 43 Squadron as flown by the Squadron Commander in the late 1920s, complete with black-and-white chequers on the rear fuselage spine.
Rear fuselage sections of two Finnish-built Gamecocks survive in museums in Finland, but apart from a handful of components that is all. The reproduction is a remarkable achievement because hardly any original Gamecock drawings have survived either. The few original drawings available were for the Finnish version, widely differing from the RAF version and with all captions in Finnish.
La catedral de Bruselas o catedral de San Miguel y Santa Gúdula (en francés: cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule; en neerlandés: Kathedraal van Sint-Michiel en Sint-Goedele; en latín: Cathedralis Sancti Michaelis et Gudulae Bruxellis) es un edificio gótico situado cerca de la Estación Central de la ciudad y perteneciente a la Archidiócesis de Malinas-Bruselas.
Se empezó a erigir en 1226, el mismo año en que comenzó la construcción de la también gótica catedral de Toledo, y se concluyó en 1500. Fue construida con piedra de Gobertange.
Está ubicada en el cruce de dos importantes rutas, la que lleva de Flandes a Colonia y la que va de Amberes a Mons pasando por Bruselas. Este cruce está situado en la colina de Treurenberg (ant. Molenberg) y existe una mención de Bruselas en las gestas de los obispos de Cambrai (diócesis a la que pertenecía): el obispo Vindicien enferma en Bruselas poco antes de su muerte en 695

The Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula (French: Cathédrale Saints-Michel-et-Gudule; Dutch: Kathedraal van Sint-Michiel en Sint-Goedele[2]), usually shortened to the Cathedral of St. Gudula[a] or St. Gudula[b] by locals, is a medieval Catholic cathedral in central Brussels, Belgium. It is dedicated to Saint Michael and Saint Gudula, the patron saints of the City of Brussels, and is considered to be one of the finest examples of Brabantine Gothic architecture.
The Romanesque church's construction began in the 11th century, replacing an earlier chapel, and was largely complete in its current Gothic form by the 16th, though its interior was frequently modified in the following centuries. The building includes late-Gothic and Baroque chapels, whilst its neo-Gothic decorative elements, including some of its stained glass windows in the aisles, date from restoration work in the 19th century. St. Gudula also stands out for its musical components, notably its two pipe organs and its immense church bells. The complex was designated a historic monument in 1936.[1]
The church was elevated to cathedral status in 1962 and has since been the co-cathedral of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Mechelen–Brussels, together with St. Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen.[2] As the national church of Belgium and the Primate of Belgium's official seat, it frequently hosts royal weddings, state funerals and other official ceremonies, such as the Te Deum on Belgian National Day.

Elle est dédiée à saint Michel et à sainte Gudule, saints patrons de la ville de Bruxelles, et est un exemple reconnaissable du gothique brabançon.

This is Rainbow Falls in Watkin’s Glen, a lovely little spot in Upstate New York. I made time to visit this location when traveling to Princeton, NJ recently to hold some photography workshops, and I’m glad I made the journey!
I was accompanied by a student of mine, Carl Crumley, who had been here years prior. While there were many places to set up for a shot, this iconic point of view was what attracted me to the locale. Carl set up in a drier location about 20 feet away from me, but I opted for a dripping-wet position (the overhanging cliff above me was drenching me and my camera gear) because it had a better view down the gorge to show more of the path of water.
I used my Trioplan 100 lens for this, which at first might seem like an odd choice, but it worked incredibly well. This manual-only lens is known for its “soap bubble bokeh” when shooting wide open, but I find it to be a tack sharp lens when stopped down. It’s sharper than my Canon 24-105 F/4L, especially in the corners; this might be due to the way I’ve abused my more “modern” lens over the years, having sent it in for repairs a number of times. It was great when it was new, but I rarely use it these days – opting for prime lenses of any variety for better results.
Shooting at 100mm from this vantage point means that I needed to shoot this image as a grid panorama, taking roughly 20 shots with sufficient overlap and extra coverage around the edges to allow flexibility in the final crop afterwards. This technique has the benefit of creating a higher resolution image, and avoids some of the issues I have with wide angle lenses “stretching” things in the corners of the frame more than I care for in scenarios like this.
I don’t often shoot for a black & white image, but the colour image was more distracting than helpful. The water wasn’t a pleasing blue tone, and while I could adjust this in post, things felt a little more serene when the colour was removed entirely. If you’re curious, here’s the colour version: donkom.ca/bts/DKP_0317.jpg
Each of the component images was 30 seconds long, which served two purposes relating to motion blur. Any exposure of 1 second or longer would help to smooth out the water and create a soft flow, but going longer than this usually has minimal effect on the water. This location was FILLED with tourists however, and a 30 second exposure is long enough to blur people so far that they become invisible (as long as they keep moving during that time). As a result, a very busy location appears much more isolated and peaceful.
Waterfalls are a fun element of “the unseen world” to explore when you slow down the exposure and remove colour, forcing us to see them in terms of lines and shapes more than we would with our own eyes. The adventure continues!

Searching the shelves in our basement laundry/storage room, I came upon a little box of plastic, multicolored board game pegs. The game board that they belonged to was nowhere in site. Still, I instantly recognized them as pieces from a board game. While my wife and I both had vague recollections of playing a game with these pieces, neither of us could immediately dredge up the name of the game. Fortunately, with the help of a little internet sleuthing, we were finally able to pin it down to MASTERMIND.

Milano.La trattrice Cassani 40 CV è stata la prima al mondo dotata di motore diesel precorrendo i tempi di almeno 15 anni. Fu progettata dai fratelli Cassani con assieme anche tutti i pezzi componenti, gli attrezzi di montaggio e i banchi di prova occorsi per la realizzazione. Era possibile equipaggiare la trattrice di motorino di avviamento, ma i fratelli Cassani non lo previdero, in quanto questo accessorio nel 1927 si montava solo su alcune autovetture di prestigio, quindi impensabile per una trattrice agricola. Comunque, il modello pre-serie, fu presentato dai Cassani al concorso nazionale per la "Trattrice agricola italiana" svoltosi a Roma nel 1927, e si aggiudicò la vittoria; purtroppo non entrò in produzione, in quanto la ditta Barbieri di Bologna, destinata dai fratelli Cassani alla costruzione delle macchine, proprio nel 1927 cadde in fallimento; questo frenò lo slancio dell'impresa Cassani, condizionandone le sorti. Nel 1973 il Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnica "Leonardo da Vinci" di Milano dedicò una sala a Francesco Cassani, alla Trattrice Cassani 40 HP e alla SAME, fondata dai Fratelli Cassani nel 1942 . Francesco Cassani già nel 1939, in occasione delle celebrazioni leonardesche, aveva ricevuto dal Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche l'attestato e la medaglia d'argento per il valore tecnico delle ricerche svolte e per i molteplici brevetti nel campo dei motori terrestri, marittimi e aerei.

Instax mini with KiiPix (not a camera). The KiiPix is basically a toy that uses Instax mini film to capture an image from a phone (So they think). In this case i basically squeezed my head into the device and added a lot of light :)

The first generation Mustang introduced in 1965 was the first of the Pony cars. In order to keep down developement costs and to save time the concept utilized many proprietary components. It used drive train and components from thee Falcon and Fairlane and a similar platform type to the Falcon. Introduced in 1964 ahead of the 1965 model year meaning the 1965 year changes were made in mid 1965 as is the case with this car. This included the introduction of the 289 Ci engine with a twin barrel carb giving 200 bhp a four barrel carb was also available with a power increase to 225 bhp. The 1966 model is very similar with changes to the quarter panel badges and a bared grille replaced the mesh version.
For 1967 a features a major re-design

The Not-so-Free Thinker generally thinks money is the be-all and end-all, usually to the detriment of all around. The Free Thinker is the type of person who makes society move forward, away from barbarism, mythology and general ignorance. The Non-Thinker seems to be missing the prerequisite component of the independent mind.
The Free Thinker is the one who challenges the norms, questions authority and seeks to improve our existence. The other two seemingly prefer to do the opposite. It is a never-ending struggle.
We're Here looks at Free Thinkers today.
It's F unit Friday so here is another from this fabulous late fall day in the north country following the 470 Railroad Club's annual photo special on the Conway Scenic Railroad. As in years past the train departed North Conway at 9 AM for a six mile run down the ex Boston and Maine Conway Branch to end of track where the power was run around. Then they returned north seven miles to Intervale where they entered the former Maine Central Mountain Subdivision for a 28 mile run west to Fabyans.
As always the club showcased their historic ex B&M F7s but this year they were joined by a special addition in the form of spectacularly restored GP9 1741 resplendent in its as delivered McGinnis 'bluebird' livery. Built in July 1957 as part of a 50 unit order that included trade in credit to EMD on the pioneering fleet of FT A-B locomotives this unit passed to Guilford and later became Springfield Terminal 72. One of the last three in service it was sold to the Heber Valley Railroad in 2017 along with her two heritage painted sisters. While they moved west to new careers this unit lanquished at Waterville where I saw her in 2020: flic.kr/p/2j8F2Jk not long after she was purchased by the 470 Club and in May 2021 made the trip to North Conway where restoration work began in earnest. To read a bit more and see a pic of her in B&M days check out this article.
railfan.com/historical-group-saves-boston-maine-gp9/
As for her older siblings, the Fs are original Boston and Maine locomotives wearing their as delivered EMD designed scheme. 4266 was built in Mar. 1949 and was acquired for preservation in 1981 off the Billerica deadline. Restored a couple years later, she has called North Conway home ever since and has been operational off and on for the past four decades.
4268 was built in Oct. 1949 and ran for the very first time in almost a half century just earlier this year. I'm not sure when her last run was, but I can find no photos of her in service after about July 1974. She languished for a decade behind the Billerica shops after being stripped of all major components including prime mover, main generator and traction motors. In 1986 she finally left Billerica by truck after being acquired by George Feuderer who displayed her in a field in East Swanzey, NH until acquired by the 470 Club and trucked to North Conway in October of 1991.
She received a cosmetic restoration in 1993 and had been prominently displayed at the Conway Scenic in the company of her operational sibling ever since. After years of planning, the club began restoration in earnest in 2018 with the full support of the railroad and its shop using ex New Hampshire Northcoast GP9 1751 (ex PRR) as a major parts donor for the four year long restoration project.
The following additional information is courtesy of Carl Byron:
The 4268A was actually built in March, 1949 as Engineering Test Dept Locomotive #930. Used for high altitude component testing on the DRGW's Soldier Summit among other locations. It spent some of that summer masquerading as a CB&Q locomotive leading their passenger car display at the 1949 Chicago World's Fair. It was then was cleaned up, re-engined, and made into to a standard F7A and offered for sale at a slightly used demo price. The B&M bought it and it was renumbered and painted into the B&M livery and shipped east, so while the builders plate may well say 10/49 but it certainly had a prior interesting career.
The trio are seen here just west of MP 89 on the Mountain Sub as they run around their train thru the weedy siding behind the former Maine Central passenger station. Boston and Maine power is no stranger to Fabyan and in fact the B&M once had it's own branchline passing through to the Cog Railway base station. Even long after that was abandoned the B&M retained trackage rights over the MEC to this point. Furthermore B&M power often pooled with the MEC during the decades of joint ownership, as seen in this image of a Maine Central train westbound taken from the opposite end of the station: www.nashuacitystation.org/resource/9304011160/ As for the station itself, I'm not sure exactly when it was built, but I believe it was around 1910. The last scheduled passenger train called in 1958 and today it is nicely restored and open as a restaurant.
