Three F-units and a lone GP38 are dumping taconite from the unloading trestle at Taconite Harbor in May 1992
POED is westbound approaching Willie Hills road aka Dump Crossing in Wells, ME in some sweet afternoon light. They call it the dump crossing because there's a transfer station at the end of this road. The leader MEC 612 has since been scrapped.

DO NOT BE THIS PERSON! "Trauma dumping is when someone shares their traumatic experiences in an overwhelming way, often without the other person's consent. It can be harmful to mental health and friendships."
Drove out to Julian to pick apples at a pick-your-own orchard. What could go wrong? How about a nearby forest fire? Close enough that the area was evacuated shortly after we left.
July 25th last year...one of those nights you drive west towards a crappy storm just hoping, and you get rewarded for your efforts. People say lightning photography is hard, and it is. You have to chase almost every opportunity to up your chances at something great. Persistence, persistence.
The other hard part is exposure. This image was underexposed because I was just doing a time-lapse and lost track of keeping the shutter speed changing...so there is more noise than I want in the image.
But even if you are totally focused on what is in front of you, bolts vary in intensity and while one can blow out your frame, another can be too dark to even light up the clouds around it. Such a battle to get the perfect exposure.
I was just trying to get a view of the mosaic without trees in the way... and then noticed the row of bins at the bottom. That's something of a comment on Taiwan education. :-)
Another image from this gorgeous storm out by Tonopah from this past August. The colors were stunning right at sunset...and I love this shot with the juxtaposition of a clear air bolt to go along with a second strike coming out of an incredible dumping of rain, likey a microburst, which sent dust exploding across the horizon. You can actually see it moving right across the middle of the frame.
Yup, these are called dump bins. ;-) Always makes me smile whenever someone says it at work, nearly as much as when they say "floor flaps".
Schmidt Brothers/Crown Brewery
Below McMickin Ave.
Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati, Ohio

When Prohibition was enacted in 1919 many Cincinnati breweries closed down, at that time this brewery was called the Crown Brewery and during the first few years tried to stay in business producing a near beer called "Tang", but it was to no avail as the brewery was forced to close down in 1925. In the coming years the lagering tunnels became a dump as toilets and scrap were thrown down into them since it was cheaper than to have the city come and pick up the garbage. When the lagering tunnels were reopened within the last few years the garbage was so heaped it took months to remove enough to make it passable. Most of the trash that was removed were shattered toilets. The plywood walkway to the left actually sits on 2 feet of broken toilets.
While preparing some images for Brewery District President Steve Hampton I came across a group of images I forgot that I had shot to create panoramic shot of the debris.
Paducah and Louisville EMDs lead a coal train around the loop at Calvert City Terminal as they dump coal that eventually will be sent on a barge to a TVA plant.
