To follow up on yesterdays photos of a matched YN2 pair that you cant do any more... later the same morning we see CSX 4523 and 7575 leading a loaded coal train north for the Toledo Docks rolling through Deshler.
When I spotted this old dock - I thought of all of the scary ghost stories that could be woven around it. Bet my Flickr friends could come up with some dandies.

Today the Royal Albert Dock is one of Liverpool's most important tourist attractions and a vital component of the city's UNESCO world heritage Maritime Mercantile City. As well as being the number one tourist attraction in Liverpool, the Albert Dock is also the most visited multi-use attraction in the United Kingdom outside London, with in excess of four million visitors per year.
Designed by Jesse Hartley, Stanley Dock opened on 4 August 1848. The dock is the only one in Liverpool which was built inland, all the others being built out from the foreshore. The original quay warehouses are of a similar design to those at Albert Dock and are grade II* listed buildings. The warehouses were built to five storeys, covering an area of 12,000 sq yd (10,000 m2). Between 1897-1901, the southern part of the dock was filled in to build the large Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse by Anthony George Lyster. The northern warehouse has since been developed in to a hotel devoted to the White Star Line's RMS Titanic liner, which has strong links to the area's history of docks and shipping.
A commercial fishing boat rests on cinder blocks beside the frozen river, awaiting the thaw and a new season of fishing and waves.
It looks like it's been through some long and tough years of service, and yet it will probably serve its owner faithfully for a long time to come.
Southampton docks at night gives off a wonderful reflection across the river.

THE ALBERT DOCK OPENED IN 1846 THEN IN 2018 IT WAS RENAMED " THE ROYAL ALBERT DOCK ".
SORRY BUT AFTER 170 ODD YEARS WITH ONE NAME I THINK I WILL STILL CALL IT " THE ALBERT DOCK ".
Five mile long Coldwater Lake was created by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens which blocked the outlet of Coldwater Creek with volcanic debris. The dock was lighted with truck parking lights. It took quite a bit of "sliding" to address color balance in this image. Not happy with the color balance but I got tired of working on it!
Happy Slider Sunday!

Heritage tug Brocklebank, berthed in Canning Dock on Armed Forces Day. The green space in the background, of which only a small part is shown here, is Chavasse park...named after the double Victoria Cross winner, and son of the Bishop of Liverpool, Noel Chavasse.
This welcome green space in the city is surrounded by new buildings...but still retains it's relaxed ambience.
To the right of the frame is the Liverpool Hilton...to the left is apartment block One Park West, which has super views over the Albert Dock area and waterfront.
