After doing our morning bird count,Singe Lake BBS route, we were in a bit of a hurry to return to our camping spot to pack up and get on our way to our next stop. We didn't bargain on being stopped by a freight train that went on and on and on!
Lots of different ways to stack a container. Even one on the bottom that clearly says keep on top!
Lots more images in my blog: More containers and more containers.
At least, I now have lots of examples of X's for those on-line alphabet threads that always get hung up waiting for someone to post an X shot :-).
I first heard about the concept of intermodal traffic in 1970 when we rented some office space to two fellows from Livingstone Forwarding and they were going out, day after day, trying to convince people that containerized freight shipping was the thing of the future. At the same time, I was going out, day after day, trying to convince people, other than doctors, that pagers were the way of the future (at the time only doctors used pagers and usually only in affiliation with a hospital).

SF Bay RR, 21 June 2018
The San Francisco Bay RR operates on the southeast side of San Francisco on and near the port. It uses two Alco S2 switchers that were built for the State Belt RR, later the San Francisco Belt RR, the line that served the piers of the Port of San Francisco for many years.
As shipping companies moved to containerization, the Port of Oakland became the big northern California container terminal and most of the piers of the Port of San Francisco were abandoned or converted to uses other than marine freight, so the SF Belt RR found itself out of a job. After 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake damaged the Embarcadero Freeway, which had run over the SF Belt for most of its length, the freeway was removed, opening up San Francisco's waterfront and much of the Belt's trackage as converted for use by the Muni F line, which runs historic streetcars to Fishermen's Wharf, and the Muni lines that now server the Caltrain station.
Meanwhile, Pier 96, near Hunter's Point was converted to a container facility and the railroad's operations survived there. The line was renamed the San Francisco Bay RR and continued to use Alco S2s 23 and 25 to switch its customers.
Today, the railroad's main business is transloading dirty dirt from constructions and clean up sites in the Bay Area from trucks to railcars. It is owned by Waste Solutions Group, which also owns a fleet of hopper cars. The SF Bay and UP interchange on an as needed basis, with UP's South City job running into the SF Bay's yard on Cargo Way with empties and taking away loads.
A couple of railfans, Ryan and Ben, work for the railroad and Ryan invited me to come by for a visit. I had stopped by one afternoon a couple of years ago, and lucked out to see an S2 running around the yard a bit, but the railrroad usually goes on duty betweeen 4 and 5 am, switches cars for a few hours and then is done for the day. So, a visit to the SF Bay from Sacramento entailed a night in a hotel. It took a few tries for me to get time off from work scheduled on the same day the railroad was running.
Eventually, it all lined up and my alarm went off at 0315 at a hotel in Daly City, just south of the SF city limit.
I was at the yard by 4 and met Ben, who went out and started Alco 23. 25 is out of service with a bad bearing on the radiator fan drive shaft. Ryan explained that the SF Belt had done a jerry rigged repair of the shaft at some point and it was never documented, so nobody knew about the bearing until it failed. As a new low emission unit will be delivered in the next few months, there is no reason to repair 25. 25 will be put on display somewhere, perhaps near the Ferry Building, while 23 will be held as backup for the new unit.
But for now, an S2 built in 1944 is doing the job it was built to do. If you think about it, that is as though the Virginia and Truckee had still been using the Reno and Genoa during WW2.
Shorty after I got there, Ben went out and fired up the 23. It has a block heater, so it started easily with a puff of white smoke. He did an inspection of the engine, including checking the journal boxes. We then went back into the office and waited for Ryan, brakeman Johnny, and engineer Nick to arrive. The crew plotted their switching moves for the day. Ryan, who is yard operations manager, suggested that I get some blue hour photos from the ground as empties were switched and then we rode 23 while they switched loads.
Each car has dirt from one particular construction site and the dirt from sites cannot be mixed as different sites will have different contamination. UP ships it to a dump site in Nevada, where it is processed. Ryan explained that sometimes they can use dividers in a car to separate dirt from different projects if there is not that much.
Right now transshipping dirty dirt is the SF Bay's only business, but there a couple of other industries are interested in bringing new business. The line that crosses the Illinois St. bridge has been out of service for a couple of years as there currently no customers north of Islais Creek.
We rode the S2 for a while after the day brightened, then got down and Ryan drove me around in a company car to get some more angles as they switched. He then had other work to do and I shot the end of 23's work day as well as 25, some spare Alco parts and another project of Waste Solutions, goats that are leased out for natural weed control. Ryan said that since Waste Solutions got more cars, they can't use their goats as much for weed control in the yard as most of the yard tracks are occupied.
The crew called it a day for switching about 0800 and then would be doing other work in the yard for the rest of their work day.
All of these photos were taken with permission after signing a release and while wearing required PPE.
I want to than Ryan, Ben, Johnny and Nick for their hospitality. I had a great time.
As the pool is looking a little thin, so searching of the hard drive has brought these.
The name of this thoroughfare is required for your shiny point.
Maggie Blake's Cause is an alleyway connecting Shad Thames with the riverfront. Named after a local community activist it represents a significant victory - public access to the riverside in front of a section of Butler's Wharf.
The main Butlers Wharf building was built between 1871-73. It is the largest and most densely packed group of Victorian warehouses left in London. With the development of mechanical handling and containerization it fell into disuse with the last ship berthing in 1972. During the early 1970s it briefly hosted a number of studios. Both David Hockney and Andrew Logan, had their studios in the area but Butlers Wharf was becoming derelict. In 1981, Sir Terence Conran, with his architectural practice Conran Roche and various business partners made a bid for mixed use redevelopment which won approval from the LDDC. This included moving the Boilerhouse Project at the Victoria & Albert Museum to a new the Design Museum at Shad Thames. The Conran group focused on the waterfront, developing six buildings: the Butlers Wharf Building (with significant restaurant space, expensive apartments and some other office and commercial use) , and the renamed Cardamom, Clove, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Coriander warehouses. Back from the river, other architects and developers converted derelict space and Victorian warehouses into and commercial complexes. With the property downturn in the early 1990s there was a gap in development - but by mid-decade a further wave of development took place.
Maggie Blake, along with other activists wanted to ensure that local people and the general public could walk freely along the south bank of the Thames. The developers wanted to restrict such movement - in particular so that the space could be exploited for commercial purposes (largely eating).

BGCAPP completed destruction of the last chemical weapon in the declared U.S. stockpile in July 2023. The plant’s final stage is the closure phase, which began in 2023 and is anticipated to last approximately three years. The Program Executive Office, Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives is committed to the closure of the plants in a safe, environmentally protective and compliant manner.
The final munition in the United States chemical weapons stockpile was safely destroyed in Kentucky July 7, 2023. The final M55 rocket containing GB nerve agent was destroyed at the Blue Grass Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant, located on the grounds of the Blue Grass Army Depot.
The Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) 2000, photographed in October 2022, destroyed a portion of the nerve agent munitions in Kentucky, including full rocket overpacks and secondary waste products, such as containerized, drained GB rocket warheads. The SDC 2000 was also used to destroy GB rockets found unsuitable for destruction in the main plant and containerized, undrained GB rocket warheads.

During the early 1980s the LBB like many other railways made the move towards containerized traffic, the ability to change loads quickly helped dramatically lift the movement of freight.

The Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) is facilitating an "Elite" U.S. Army deployment operation this week at the port's Blount Island Marine Terminal. Elite moves are the Army's largest and most important cargo moves of the year.
The move of equipment from the 101st Airborne Division’s 101st Combat Aviation Brigade is being conducted by the Jacksonville Detachment at Blount Island under the command and control of the 832nd Transportation Battalion and in coordination with the 597th Transportation Brigade from Fort Eustis, Va.
Stevedores with port partner Portus are loading about 1,450 pieces, including UH-60 Blackhawk utility helicopters, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, wheeled vehicles and other containerized support equipment, aboard the US-flagged vehicle carrier ARC Endurance. The equipment is en route to Europe where it will be used for a training mission.
The pieces arrived at Blount Island from Fort Campbell, Ky., by truck and rail over the past two weeks.
"Support from JAXPORT, as well as our trucking and rail partners here in Jacksonville, has been phenomenal," said Lt. Col. Thomas Patterson III from the 832nd Transportation Battalion. "In large moves like this one, efficiency is key to ensuring the best use of taxpayer dollars. Jacksonville offers the strategic value, expertise and flexibility to seamlessly get it all done."
"JAXPORT is one of the nation's most diversified ports, and our ability to support the military is an important part of our diversification strategy," said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green. "We are proud to serve our community and country in this capacity."
Located at the crossroads of the nation’s rail and highway network, JAXPORT offers fast access to three major interstates, 40 daily trains and service from more than 100 trucking firms.
As one of the nation's 17 strategic seaports, JAXPORT is on call 24/7 to move U.S. Military cargo for national defense, foreign humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and the only port in Florida with this designation.

Audacia is Allseas’ [a Swiss-based offshore contractor specializing in pipelay, heavy lift and subsea construction] versatile pipelay vessel, optimized for the execution of small- to large-diameter pipeline projects of any length in all water depths, and for associated work such as the installation of risers and subsea protection frames. The concept for Audacia was developed entirely in-house and she has been operational since 2007. A length of 225 m places her between Allseas’ dynamically positioned pipelay vessels Solitaire and Lorelay. Precise maneuvering on full dynamic positioning with a stinger positioned on the bow allow Audacia to work safely in congested areas and lay pipes in very deep water. Pipeline start-ups and lay-downs are executed in very quick time ensuring any disruption to other activities near platforms is minimized. Due to her long length and ship-shape Audacia can accommodate multiple workstations and has a greater pipe hold capacity. Her independence from anchor handlers and large buffer capacity also ensure she is less dependent on pipe off-loading from supply vessels. A high transit speed, high lay speed and large carrying capacity ensure Audacia is highly competitive for pipelay projects anywhere in the world / Port of Ravenna is an Italian seaport on the North Adriatic Sea in Ravenna, Italy. It is one of the top twenty Italian ports and top forty European ports. The port of Ravenna is the main port of Emilia-Romagna. The docks are mainly on a canal that connects the town centre of Ravenna (which is inland) to the sea which is 12 km away. The offshore breakwaters are in the little towns of Porto Corsini and Marina di Ravenna. It hosts shipyards, multipurpose terminals, bulk cargo terminals and a containerized cargo terminal. There are also a big passenger and cruise lines terminal and the biggest marinas of the Adriatic Sea.

The BNSF Railway (AAR reporting marks BNSF) headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, is one of the four remaining transcontinental railroads and one of the largest railroad networks in North America. Only the Union Pacific Railroad is larger in size. With globalization, the transcontinental railroads are a key component in the containerization of trade from the Pacific Rim. The BNSF Railway moves more intermodal freight traffic than any other rail system in the world.
It was formed December 31, 1996, as the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway was merged into the Burlington Northern Railroad. In 1999 the BNSF Railway and the Canadian National Railway announced their intention to merge and form a new corporation entitled the North American Railways to be headquartered in Montreal, Canada. The United States' Surface Transportation Board (STB) placed a 15-month moratorium on all rail mergers, which ended this merger. On January 24, 2005, the railroad's name was officially changed to BNSF Railway.[1]
The BNSF Railway is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corporation, the holding company formed by the September 22, 1995 merger of Burlington Northern, Incorporated and the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation. According to corporate press releases, the BNSF Railway is among the top transporters of intermodal freight in North America. It moves more grain than any other American railroad. It also hauls enough coal to generate roughly 10% of the electricity produced in the United States. The company's northern route completes the high-speed link from the western to eastern United States.
This was the route of the Great Northern Railway's Silk Extras in the 1920s. They had priority over all other trains, stopping only for refueling and crew changes. These trains transported silk to the east from ships arriving in the Port of Seattle from Japan.
APM Terminals Pecém loaded a shipment of three 72.5m long wind turbine blades on March 25 and April 1, 2021. This was the largest shipment of non-containerized cargo on a container ship in the world, according to data from the company Maersk Brazil. The cargo was destined for the state of Santa Catarina.

The move of equipment from the 101st Airborne Division’s 101st Combat Aviation Brigade is being conducted by the Jacksonville Detachment at Blount Island under the command and control of the 832nd Transportation Battalion and in coordination with the 597th Transportation Brigade from Fort Eustis, Va.
Stevedores with port partner Portus are loading about 1,450 pieces, including UH-60 Blackhawk utility helicopters, AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, wheeled vehicles and other containerized support equipment, aboard the US-flagged vehicle carrier ARC Endurance. The equipment is en route to Europe where it will be used for a training mission.
The pieces arrived at Blount Island from Fort Campbell, Ky., by truck and rail over the past two weeks.
"Support from JAXPORT, as well as our trucking and rail partners here in Jacksonville, has been phenomenal," said Lt. Col. Thomas Patterson III from the 832nd Transportation Battalion. "In large moves like this one, efficiency is key to ensuring the best use of taxpayer dollars. Jacksonville offers the strategic value, expertise and flexibility to seamlessly get it all done."
"JAXPORT is one of the nation's most diversified ports, and our ability to support the military is an important part of our diversification strategy," said JAXPORT CEO Eric Green. "We are proud to serve our community and country in this capacity."
Located at the crossroads of the nation’s rail and highway network, JAXPORT offers fast access to three major interstates, 40 daily trains and service from more than 100 trucking firms.
As one of the nation's 17 strategic seaports, JAXPORT is on call 24/7 to move U.S. Military cargo for national defense, foreign humanitarian aid and disaster relief, and the only port in Florida with this designation.

GPLN member Arshiya Logistics WLL (formerly BDP Qatar WLL) handled some Groove Cranes movement from Michel Machinery Company Inc in the United States for the Qatari Shareholding Company (QSC) who is engaged into Dolphin Gas Project and several projects for RasGas / Qatar Gas in Qatar.
Arshiya Logistics WLL(Qatar) with help of 5K Logistics handled this project movement Ex-USA factory to Qatar project site. The transportation was done using a MAFI-Cargo trailers from the factory to Galveston Port. The pick up locations were:
- St. Louis, Missouri - 2 cranes
- Corpus Christi, Texas - one crane
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - one crane
A breakulk vessel from Galveston Port, United States, to Doha, Qatar was booked. Arshiya Logistics also handled inland haulage from Doha Port to the Qatari client's site using low bed trailers and as well was engaged into arranging the duty waiver and exemption for this client at Doha Customs. Along with the haulage Arshiya arranged the police escort and Qatar Traffic Department permissions.
Initially, QSC had to move total four Grove cranes and the value was approximately USD 1.8 million. Technical specifications were 581.624 m3 and total gross weight of 160 tons with height of 3.5 meters. There were letter of credit problems considering the time deadline, etc., and many bottlenecks in documentation because the supplier was dealing with Qatar client for the first time.
QSC nominated GPLN member Arshiya Logistics, considering Arshiya's professionalism in project logistics globally. But handling projects requires special personalized touch as well as technical expertise because it is totally different ball game than normal containerized business. The following hurdles are confirm that if any project movement is given to any inexperienced service provider just based on rates then blue chip clients are off course paying penalties for their decision.
1) Just one day before the vessel arrival in Galveston Port Hurricane Ike hit the area.
2) Power, water issues keep Galveston Port offline for about two weeks after Hurricane Ike left the port and much of the region. There was no trace of any shipment as the Port Authority closed the port.
3) But for Arshiya Logistics WLL (Qatar) it was matter client serving and 100% transparency. Arshiya Logistics arranged a 3rd-party surveyor to the port with help the help of 5K Logistics, the GPLN member in Philadelphia. The surveyor accessed the cranes and completed the survey. Everything was okay except some few tires, which were affected because of mud.
4) Most of the vessels cancelled calling at Galveston Port after this hurricane.
5) These cranes were lying in Galveston Port for almost 45 days.
Shipment was urgent for the Qatari company and for that they had full trust in Arshiya Logistics's reliability and professionalism. Arshiya Logistics managed to get the shipment out from United States and in Doha within 40 days without any rate hike and port storage issues.
Arshiya Logistics team of Mr. Vaibhav Malpekar and Mr. Jigar Shah, with 5K Logistics (Mr. Paul J McGrath and team) were in full coordination and had conference calls almost every day in order to work out alterative solutions so that the delivery of these four cranes to the client could be managed as per prior commitment, in spite of all these hurdles.
Arshiya Logistics is handling more projects for the New Doha International Airport (NDIA) as well as KAHRAMA (the Qatar Water & Electricity Board).
