With its nose pointed west towards Nakina and Winnipeg, ONR 313 slowly clicks and clacks the jointed rails alongside Ontario Highway 11, heading to Hearst on the former National Transcontinental Railway, with a lone SD75i on the head end.

Zur Abwechslung mal ein Treffen mit "Nina" statt mit "Lena". Nachdem ich in der Vergangenheit schon ein paar Aufnahmen der auf den Namen Lena getauften 159 222 von VTG Retrack anfertigen konnte, war mir am Abend des 26. Juli 2024 eine Aufnahme der 159 221 vergönnt. Die den Namen Nina tragende Euro Dual Maschine beförderte einen Kesselwagenzug südwärts, mutmaßlich nach Burghausen im oberbayrischen Chemiedreieck. Die Lok war lange Zeit vor den Laugenzügen im Einsatz, aktuell teilt sie sich mit ihrer Schwester primär die Aufgabe, Brennstoffe zwischen Nord- und Süddeutschland zu transportieren.
For a change, a meeting with ‘Nina’ instead of ‘Lena’. Having already been able to take a few pictures of VTG Retrack's 159 222, christened Lena, in the past, I was granted a shot of 159 221 on the evening of 26 July 2024. The Euro Dual locomotive named Nina was hauling a tank wagon train southwards, presumably to Burghausen in the Upper Bavarian chemical triangle. The locomotive was in service for a long time in front of the so-called lye trains, but currently shares with its sister primarily the task of transporting fuels between northern and southern Germany.
Not long before the TAG heritage unit crossed the Ohio Connecting Bridge westbound (previous image), this eastbound intermodal appeared. The train has just entered the Mon Line and is passing CP Isle where the Island Connector diverges from Main 1. The setting sun highlights both the train and the Pittsburgh skyline in the distance. The sun would fall below the hills to the west in a matter of minutes.

interesting trivia- a human rights group in Vienna, Austria is demanding that gorillas be given the same rights as humans, except the right to vote.
VIA 186 snakes its way through the snow-covered wilderness of northern Ontario. The flag-stop service is a lifeline between remote communities. Connecting small towns like White River, Sultan, and Bisco, offering residents and travelers alike a chance to reach distant destinations that might otherwise be unreachable during the harsh winter months. Inside, the warmth of the cabin contrasts with the frigid world outside, as passengers gaze out at the endless expanse of snow, knowing that this train offers not just transportation, but a vital link between the northern communities that rely on it.

The need to visit this particular place came to me, while i was studying the cable car railway to the Janikowo soda plant. When tracing its route going from Janikowo we first see the station, where carts were separated between Inowrocław and Janikowo, then it crosses a lake and continues through the fields towards the Bielawy quarry. There is a catch however, as the cable car railway stops some 2 kilometers before the actual quarry/cement plant. How have I not noticed this before?
But the curiosities don't stop there. Naturally the cable cars have to get their load somehow, and to my great surprise and utmost amazement - this is done with a standard railway, which runs here from the cement plant, at a length of around 2,5km. At the end, the wagons are unloaded and the load is transferred to the cable car. Crazy!
I dug deeper. As it turns out, the station is reffered to as K1 (which is why I jokingly call it Masherbrum) and I found many reports of former workers, who talked about the railway on various forums. But... no pictures from here existed! The industry enthusiasts photographed the transloading facility itself, some bus-lovers shot pictures of busses with the station and cable car, which served as a background, but seemingly no railfan has ever step foot here. That made me curious, maybe the train doesn't run in the end? Checking areal photos from the place out of 3 different sources I found around 20 shots taken across the span of the past 15 years. Only around half of them had any traffic on this station, maybe that was why, maybe this doesn't run very often...
Nevertheless, me and a friend of mine from the region embarked on a journey. We came in the morning and... there it was, a train was just unloading on the station! Our excitement was short-lived though, as our car's tire had burst before we even reached it, which stopped us significantly. But no matter. It turns out that the train had been here for the rest of the day. It looks as if they only unloaded one wagon each hour (or even fewer). I think the train comes here only every 2 days and stays here for unloading.
To connect all the dots, as in the title, I need to add on another bit of information, which was also very interesting to me. The reports of workers, which I had mentioned earlier talk about EL2 locomotives being used to bring the cargo wagons here. Sure enough, one of the former catenary pylons is hiding just behind the locomotive on this picture, as the train is leaving K1 towards the quarry, headed by SM42-2083. Some of the pylons even retained their original designations and each one of them is marked with the designation "K1". I think this is the first picture published on the internet, which features this place and a train.
One last thing are the wagons. They are only used on this line and they are made up of the type 41W, which were manufactured in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski (1952-1959) and Wrocław (1960-1964). The factories each had their own little details on carriages and this helped me determine that both the producers supplied the wagons to this industrial railway. My rough estimate is that the plant currently has around 100 such wagons in use, and they only are used for internal transports to K1.
I hope you enjoyed the trillogy about Wapienno's internal railways.

Macro Monday's and the theme of "Knolling".
I quite enjoyed the Knolling theme that MM covered back in 2019 and although I left taking part late as usual I didn't really want to miss this week.
It was mainly a case of finding some items which would be suitable as a subject. The last time I used a picture hanging kit and after a little bit of searching I came across these cabinet connectors in my toolbox.
When we moved house and if we ever get rid of a cabinet or furniture item that is beyond redemption I have a habit of keeping screws, nuts, bolts or anything that is used to hold the parts together as they may come in useful at a later date. At least for this weeks theme they finally did.
After locating a white sheet of A4 I used a pencil and ruler to draw a 3 inch square and arranged the items inside. Then it was just a case of mounting the camera on a tripod above and cropping the image to a square once it was captured.

Took this while I was in Panama! I was got back from the eight day vacation!
I took this while I was teaching my mom's friend how to do 'levitation' photography!
I really loved the view and the balcony here. My previous picture I uploaded was also take in the same spot! Standing out here and watching the sunset really just was so relaxing. Really lost myself in this place. I guess I really "connected" with it ;D hehe
On a cold clear winter morning New England Central Railroad train 611 (Brattleboro to Palmer turn that forwards the connecting 323/324 road freight traffic) rolls under the old State Street / Route 20 overpass at about MP 75 on the NECR's Palmer Sub, the one time Central Vermont Railway mainline. The small yard here that was once a busy location is now empty and seemingly little used.
Engineer Ken Hawkins gives a big smile and friendly wave from the cab of Providence and Worcester 4069, a GE C40-8W blt. Mar. 1989 as CR 6028 which passed to Norfolk Southern before being retired in 2017. It was sold to Larry's Truck and Electric and lanquished for many years until being picked up by Genesee and Wyoming and assigned to the PW. It was freshly painted in this veterans tribute scheme in September of 2024 and has mostly hidden out of the limelight in working stone trains out of New Haven. But it was recently loaned to NECR after a couple of their units suffered failures leading to a power shortage. Trailing are GE C40-8Ws NECR 4064 and 4068 blt. Mar. and Nov. 1991 as CR 6115 and CSXT 7740 respectively.
