At Slievenacloy Nature Reserve.

Many of these small beetles noted on large dock leaves. Looks like this one has already enjoyed a nibble.

Back in Pennsylvania lakes are all over the place.. In Arizona not so much... I was out riding my bike for fun the other day and suddenly I saw water in the distance! I was like a little kid seeing the roller coaster over the hill! I was very excited :)

So I took pictures.. Then the next day I took ashley there and she was just as excited as I was! So I took some more pictures..

Moral of the story is we love water, and miss Pennsylvania...

The 37 stood in for a failed 68 on the Sellafield - Barrow empties, for loading in the Docks

A morning filled with fog and low clouds was the perfect pairing alongside the colorful sunrise.

During my post-processing, I wanted to keep this image in line with my editing style to achieve a consistent and clean photo.

08375 propels a rake of steel wagons over the swing bridge and into the Boston Docks complex. The wagons arrived on 6E01 from Wolverhampton, worked by a DB Cargo 66 as far as the exchange sidings just off the mainline at Boston where the 08 takes over. Not many places this kind of work happens nowadays! 12/02/2024

Docked

Salthouse Dock, Liverpool.

This is the dry dock where the USS Constitution is being repaired. It is named after US President John Quincy Adams.

The Main Street Docks in Vancouver harbours police boats, fire boats, port service vessels and such.

As a kid I fished off these docks. Call me a scavenger just like the seaguls. My uncle would always have a fit as I'd be the one leaning over too far, or anxiious to get more fish than the rest. The sea has always given me peace. The sound, smell, and the change in the air is like a sedative. I could sit an be mezmorized for hours. :) HSS all!

I'm heading back up to the range in five days so to get in the mood here's another from one of 2023's trips. I'm not going to lie, I'm looking forward to watching boats almost as much as I am trains and am wondering which vessels I might get to see

Here's a Freight Car Friday offering as some brilliant storm light bathes a string of vintage 70 year old Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range hoppers sitting high atop massive Dock 6 (built by the Duluth, Missabe and Northern in 1917) that are in the process of being unloaded with the assistance of CN Proctor Yard crew. Alas I won't get to see any of these here on the docks this trip as they've all since been pulled from pellet service after hundreds of new cars arrived earlier in 2024.

Berthed up taking on a load of iron ore is the American Steamship Company's American Spirit. The self unloading bulk carrier was built in 1978 by American Shipbuilding of Lorraine, OH for the National Steel Corporation, to be managed by Hanna Mining Company and was originally named the George A. Stinson. At 1004 ft long she was the 7th thousand footer on the Great Lakes and one of 13 still sailing (including one which is technically and ITB).

Taken before the sunrise really kicked off here.

Some great reflections to be had in the basin at Albert Dock in Leith.

I would love to take a look in the old derelict building across the water.

At Inga Lake, BC out on a floating dock trying to keep real still...

The dock was opened in 1737 as the Dry Dock, a protected tidal basin providing an entrance to Old Dock. Having been subsequently enclosed as a wet dock three years earlier, in 1832 it was officially named after the Liverpool MP George Canning. To the east is the site of Old Dock, built in 1709, which was the world first enclosed commercial dock. Canning Dock would have initially served ships involved in the trans Atlantic slave trade.

Taken on a foggy night, I captured these lovely reflections in the Albert Dock.

The sun breaks through in early March as a few people enjoy the dock on Granville Island, Vancouver, BC, Canada.

The docks here continue to be an exporter of steel, mainly tinplate from Trostre works near Llanelli. Such trains need covered wagons and loading. However, times change and with the closure of the blast furnaces at Port Talbot virgin steel coils and slabs are now imported from other Tata plants in Europe and India via the docks here and at Portbury (Bristol) and Cardiff.

'Newport Docks is a major hub for steel exports in the UK. In 2022, it handled 1.4 million tonnes of iron and steel products, exporting 955,000 tonnes, which represented 72% of all steel exported from major UK ports. This makes it the leading steel port in the UK and Wales for the seventh consecutive year.'

Steel is exported from Newport Docks to various European locations, including Spain and Portugal, with journey times ranging from 2.5 to 4 days. Additionally, steel is exported to other countries, such as Malaysia, Ireland, Germany, Jordan, and France.

Uniscout is a general trading vessel, it left here for Cork in Ireland, then Turkey and finally Bulgaria.

The 6F04 03.52 empties from Margam are reversed into the handling shed.
