old steam compressors in the machine hall at the coking plant Hansa in Dortmund.

The ruin of the old compressor house at Levant Mine, in thick fog. It was used to make compressed air to work the drills in the mines.

For an account of my trip to Cornwall, with more pictures from the old mines, and lots of interest to anyone who’s watched Poldark:

Rock Island Rail GP30 #3024, ex Cimarron Valley, sits at Sumner, MS with SD38 #1555. This unit was part of my CV experience in Kansas a few years ago. It would have been on this days job, only if it hadn't had a compressor failure the Friday before my visit.

The compressor house on a different day - no fog and actually plenty of sunshine. Fantastic structure.
