While it may look like BNSF has left a loco to be worked on by the local auto-body repair outfit, it is not what it appears to be. Instead, it is something major that they would never be able to handle. The 4828 had a traction motor seize-up on it and the train set out the GE on an adjacent spur next to the autobody shop until mechanical forces could inspect it. But considering how many techo-toasters I've seen with varying degrees of scorch on the BNSF, this wasn't so far fetched. Feel free to add your own caption. Hughson, CA on March 10, 2000.
Mission and Installation Contracting building
one of the oldest on Fort Sam Houston but soon to be among the most modern. Built between 1881 and 1885, is 98,414 square-foot Long Barracks and the old Brooke Army Medical Center symbolized an aging post after they were abandoned in the mid-'90s.
Buildings once used by the Army's most famous commanders, Generals John J. Pershing and Dwight D. Eisenhower among them, are now occupied by a new generation of leaders.
The Long Barracks opened in 1887, after the end of the Indian wars. It was born as a result of a closure round in which small Army posts were shuttered, with the missions going to Fort Sam and other garrisons.
"Aframax tanker"
is a medium-sized crude tanker with a dead weight tonnage (DWT) ranging between 80,000 and 120,000. The tanker derives its name from AFRA which stands for Average Freight Rate Assessment. AFRA system was created in 1954 by Shell Oil to standardise contract terms.
Though relatively smaller than Very Large Crude Containers (VLCC) and the Ultra Large Crude Containers (ULCC), the tanker has a cargo carrying capacity between 70,000 and 100,000 metric tonnes. The average cargo carrying capacity of Aframax is approximately 750,000 barrels.
Due to their favorable size, Aframax tankers can serve most ports in the world. These vessels serve regions which do not have very large ports or offshore oil terminals to accommodate very large crude carriers and ultra large crude carriers.
Aframax tankers are just perfect for short to medium haul crude oil transportation.

I’ve been trying to catch all aspects of the harvesting of the forage crop locally this year. It’s been a very good year for growing grass with a wet spring followed by warmth. Silage barns are overflowing with the surplus being baled and wrapped for stacking outside.
On Monday six tractors and trailers started hammering up and down past our yard carrying silage from above Meltham to Hinchcliffes farm off Linfit Lane. Initially I went down to the farm and got photos of all six tractors coming and going. As I was leaving I spotted Tom Roberts in his John Deere spreading fertilizer, I ran down the fields to grab a few shots and tell him that I had six A4 prints for him from the previous weeks baling, another satisfied victim of my camera.
I decided to shoot over to Wilshaw and get some photos of the tractors and forager working in the fields. Stuart Oldfield Agricultural Contracting was doing the job for Charlie Hinchcliffe, driving the Claas Jaguar forager himself. The field is 45 acres part of a 75 acre piece and they were hoping to finish for the end of the day. The tractors were still passing our house at going up to eleven. The heavy crop and distance they were carting meant that eight tractors could have been kept going. As ever Charlie – who is well into his 80’s had a ride around the field to keep an eye on things – nowt changes – as we say around here. I didn’t stay long but I was out and about doing some Tour de France landscape stuff in the Holme Valley and on Holme Moss and decided to drop in again, I’m glad I did. Conditions were better than earlier, the light, big rolling, clouds underpinned by a dark distant sky – it was raining elsewhere in Yorkshire apparently. Stuart Invited me onto the Forager and I hung on with one hand and fired away with the 5D in the other. The silage flying over my head didn’t do a lot for the hay fever but it was worth it. I got sat in the cab and had a good chat with Stuart, nice bloke, gets on with the job – no messing about I would guess. I’m uploading a large number of the photos I took on the day for the benefit of the people working hard in the pictures – I hope they like them and thanks for tolerating me charging around the field like a loony – I’ve spent a lifetime staying safe and keeping out of the way. I stayed until the sun disappeared and the light went, the orange glow is for real, with no help from Photoshop. I had a chat with Charlie, the first in many years, we used to do quite a bit of work for him a long time ago, no flies there, as sharp as they come. Multiple tractor pictures won’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but tough, more trucks and landscapes waiting to load.
