As mentioned, our steelworks-supplied guides initially took us to see diesels, but I recognised the layout from a previous trip and pointed us in the right direction to find the steam-worked end of the place.
As they had poor English, we had worse Mandarin, and there were only two of us, the guides thought they might as well stay in the warm van and let us roam around taking pictures in the cold.
Fine by us...

I think this is a Mack AC dump truck based on the shape of the roof. It was likely used by Crooker Construction Company. This model was made from 1916 to 1938. They were still quite commonly used into the 1950s. This one is on a nearby wooded property along with many other rusting pieces of construction and farm equipment. I watched a tutorial on some compositing techniques so used this to give them a try and after a few blunders came up with this version. HSS
Dumped.
With the intense heat we are currently experiencing what a better way to keep cool than catch a few waves at Town Beach, Port Macquarie, New South Wales.
But there is always a downside to whatever we do, and for surfers the downside is being DUMPED.

To fill the last remaining open areas of the brown coal open cast pit "Bergheim" a lot of material was carried here by trains (RBW), dumped and than transported via ropeway to the tipping yard. This facility was lifted in 2012.
The light situation and bad slide film gave me not a better result.
Germany, Sept. 2009 (scanned slide)
Whilst studying the Demotic Greek language in Athens in 1985 one of my main objectives, apart from of course sitting a Greek interpreter's exam at the end of the studies, was to visit the steam locomotive dumps at Athens (Agios Ioannis) and Thessaloniki (Salonika) sheds. And so to the Salonika visit; an international overnight train from Athens deposited me in the northern Greece city at a good time for the satisfactory early morning sunlight on this September visit. Armed with an officially stamped and signed visitor's permit, previously applied for in person at the Hellenic State Railways headquarters (OSE) in Athens, I was confident of gaining access without any hindrance. How naïve I was to be thinking of such a straightforward scenario! Despite speaking the language quite fluently by this stage and holding official paperwork, the 'jobs worth' on the security gate at Salonika shed just would not allow any access whatsoever, allegedly because no railway management were in present at such an early time in the morning. He also appeared to view me with great suspicion, which I must admit was quite understandable, forcing myself to see the situation from his point of view. Having travelled so far to fulfil my long-held objective, a 'Plan B' was rapidly formulated, and I very soon sought out a suitable access point for a nimble person such as myself further along the extensive shed yard perimeter fence well away from the official entrance, my youthful exploits of illicit shed visits during B.R. steam days and my then more recently acquired army field training skills quickly slotting into place as if by second nature. And with Adrenalin flowing fast and feeling like a dog with two tails in the land of the forbidden fruits I immediately got to work with my Pentax ME Super camera, working around the various groups of sad looking hulks as the sunlight would allow, but with it becoming increasingly harsher by the minute. Alas, it was not to be quite that straightforward, for the small 'fly in the ointment' proved to be a couple of not too friendly looking mongrel dogs which were not tethered, and rapidly awakening from a deep overnight and, up until then, undisturbed slumber. Clearly they were not in of the disposition to be grateful for this rood and unexpected interruption, far removed from their normally everyday quiet routine at this time in the morning! As they became ever more unnervingly vociferous I fumbled for the remains of the overnight rations in my rucksack and to my great relief the few remaining scraps happily proved their weight in gold in 'buying' the dogs' immediate friendship and quietness. Having dealt with this obstacle, it very soon became apparent to me that many of the locos were arranged in such a way that an evening visit would be far more advantageous. Having secured the photos that were possible with the restrictions of their arrangement around the shed yards during the morning, I confidently made my way to the loco shed buildings alongside the shed gate where I had previously been refused admission, and as luck would have it by that time there had been a shift change and my permit was duly acknowledged, albeit with great reluctance after being questioned over precisely what I had been up to and as to why I had not present myself on the correct side of the main gate! As is the way with Greek people, a chat about my personal life, family disposition and financial standing soon did the trick with the manager warming to me and beginning to understand the motives of my visit. Needless to say, the evening session for the additionally sought compositions did not present any further problems. I was very happy to secure this shot of a classic 'Austerity' North British locomotive and duly celebrated that evening with a Meze supper exclusively to myself, washed down with local chilled beer and the greater part of a bottle of Ouzo, naturally at the insistence of the restaurant owner and of course in the interests of good European relations. Needless to say, this was followed by the mother of all hangovers during the following morning!
North British Austerity 'WD' 2-10-0 No.73656 (works No.25442 built in 1943) and OSE 'Lb' (Λβ) Class No.955 stands in the company of two former USATC 'S160' class 2-8-0s, OSE 'Thg' (Θγ) Class Nos.532 and 584 in the shed yard at Thessalonica depot during the evening of 21st September 1985 . Following the Second World War, the British military authorities designated the 16 'WD' class locos then in store in Egypt as surplus to requirements and they were subsequently shipped to Salonica Port in January 1946. They were soon prepared for work in the local railway division, being equipped for right hand drive, fitted with headlamps, a second roof layer added and the chimney lengthened with a small deflector plate installed behind, clearly visible in this view. By the mid-1960s they were to be found employed as mixed traffic locos holding ten daily diagrams on passenger and goods services, even finding their way onto the top link 'Istanbul Express'. Regular standard gauge steam traction ceased in Greece around 1979 and many steam locos were just set aside and dumped in yards. Six of the 'Lb' class survive, two repatriated to the U.K. and four remaining in Greece, two having been restored to working order in more recent years.

Seen on FB, maybe a 15-ton dump. Repowered with a Leyland Diesel? Kinda like a Dinky Toy Euclid that I used to haul tons of sand in the 50's.
Found them on a street...freshly discarded. 😞

Just outside of Oakes, track speed slows to a crawl for the last few miles to their destination in Fullerton, ND. Taken from the city dump outside of town.
A litter dump for any trash from your car as you pass this small parking spot with room for just two cars. Near the village of Warne. 17 February 2021
This quite large bear, in the vicinity of the dump was probably making its way there. I only got a quick shot as it was hidden by bushes.
You may wonder why bears frequent the dump. In my experience it is not healthy bears that go there.
This bear, once I got the shot enlarged on my computer, may be blind. For sure, one eye is totally closed. and it was climbing down down the path, low to the ground, reaching down with one paw when it could have just followed the path.
Most bears I've seen at dumps are either injured or old and unable to easily hunt for food. The other bears are the cubs that follow an injured mother bear and end up being acclimatized to the routine. I have photographed a lot of bears at dumps and always find when I get a close up on my computer that they are injured. The same with coyotes at the dump. Healthy animals shun people and stay away from built up areas in my experience.
I am still a live...too much work lately not enough shooting...
I went to Mispec beach to eat my breakfast, there I saw this VLCC(very large crude carrier) called Eagle Varna(www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/9597252/vessel...).
Never seen a boat doing so much pollution, since he his at the buoey there is a cloud of black smoke above.

Still dumping south of Cedar Grove. A mishap in hearing the trains original warrant stopped us from going any further
It might sound like it when you say it, but CERA is not a girl it is actually the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority. The problem is that there is so much work to do that road have to closed, roads dug up, buildings knocked down and all the 8 million tonnes of earthquake rubble has to go somewhere. Of course people do not like most of this.
