On February 12, 1954, a USAF F-86 Sabre crashed into Grouse Mountain, killing the pilot. The Air Force was quick to clean up the crash site, but left the J47 engine, which can still be found just off the Skyline Trail.
The Teesside works of the BSC employed this extraordinary mobile compressor loco using compressed air transmission. Identified as 'MC1', it was one of three converted in-house, using the frames of former steelworks four-coupled locos built by Peckett and Hawthorn Leslie. 'MC1' was a 1958 conversion from Peckett 'W4' Class 0-4-0 saddle tank (W/No.668 built in 1897) originally supplied new to Bolckow Vaughan & Co, South Bank Steel, and was still in use as a compressor on 28th October 1977.

Autoworld is a vintage car museum in the center of Brussels, Belgium, located in the southern hall of the Cinquantenaire Park. It holds a large and varied collection of 350 oldtimers.
Mackay's Mine Hill is the most significant part of the Alder Creek Mining District. Ore was first discovered in 1879, meaning full production began in 1884, and ore was mined into the 1980s. Almost a million tons of ore have been removed over the years, yielding about 42,000 oz. of gold, 2,000,000 oz. of silver, 62,000,000 lbs. of copper, 15,000,000 lbs. of lead, and 5,000,000 lbs. of zinc. Geological sampling still occurs, and mining could be renewed at any time to withdraw the millions of dollars of ore remaining in the ground.
It is one of my favorite photography places here. I should have taken it with a little clearer lens.

2 cylinder electric powered air compressor on Australia Level, which supplied power for drills and other machinery in the quarry.
The Roystone Grange limestone quarry was developed around the time of the First World War and by 1920 was using compressed air drills to assist in extracting the stone. This compressor house to supply the air was erected some distance away where there was a spring that supplied water to cool the oil engines and compressors. The structure has been secured and the roof is sound but it stands empty and unused.
