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.

C’est l’arrivée de Mathieu Van Roggen, venu de Hollande, qui a dynamisé vers 1880 les CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT. Il les a rendues pleinement performantes par la rationalisation de l’exploitation et la modernisation de l’outil. La grande centrale électrique de 1904, devenue “Musée de la pierre”, en est le remarquable témoin. Par la suite, le groupe Merbes-Sprimont gère les propriétés jusqu’à la reprise en 1984 par la famille Brancaleoni.
Plusieurs sites sont actuellement en exploitation. La réputation de qualité de ces gisements est depuis longtemps établie et
les références de prestige en sont fort nombreuses, depuis la Grand’ Poste de Liège et le pont de Fragnée vers 1900, jusqu’au
nouveau pont haubané du Val-Benoît en 2000.
Importante capacité de production et souplesse de gestion sont les atouts premiers de l’entreprise sprimontoise.
Cette carrière de petit granit consiste en une excavation allongée, partiellement occupée par la 'décharge de classe III du Fond de Correux'. L'activité extractive a encore lieu dans la partie médiane et un grand atelier de taille est installé vers la route. Le secteur occidental, actuellement désaffecté, et les abords supérieurs de la fosse présentent toutefois un intérêt biologique: reproduction du crapaud accoucheur et du lézard des murailles; flanc nord incliné colonisé par une végétation des substrats calcaires (e.a. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); présence de la fougère Gymnocarpium robertianum.
It was the arrival of Mathieu Van Roggen, from Holland, who revitalised the CARRIÈRES DE SPRIMONT around 1880. He made them fully efficient by rationalising the operation and modernising the tool. The large power station of 1904, which became the “Stone Museum”, is a remarkable example of this. Subsequently, the Merbes-Sprimont group managed the properties until the Brancaleoni family took them over in 1984.
Several sites are currently in operation. The reputation for quality of these deposits has long been established and
their prestigious references are numerous, from the Grand’ Poste in Liège and the Fragnée bridge around 1900, to the
new cable-stayed bridge at Val-Benoît in 2000.
Significant production capacity and management flexibility are the primary assets of the Sprimont company.
This small granite quarry consists of an elongated excavation, partially occupied by the 'class III dump of Fond de Correux'. Extractive activity still takes place in the middle part and a large cutting workshop is installed towards the road. The western sector, currently disused, and the upper edges of the pit are nevertheless of biological interest: reproduction of the midwife toad and the wall lizard; inclined northern flank colonized by vegetation of calcareous substrates (e.g. Catapodium rigidum, Crepis foetida, Teucrium botrys); presence of the fern Gymnocarpium robertianum.
When we climbed the Sokolovskă Uhelna dump yard hills at the feet of the Erzgebirge at that day all went well. Incidentally, an area that almost seamlessly transitioned from an already recultivated local recreation area into the open, unfenced factory site. We could already hear the busy, unmistakable and typical rattling of the overburden trains, including sound rings that serve as a warning signal when driving forwards and backwards.
Once at the top we were rewarded with very busy mining train operations. This time, with a keen eye, it also took place without any fuss

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.

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.
I’ve been accused of many things in life but dumping is not one of them. I shall vehemently fight the 2000$ fine. Tuning up for the upcoming ‘The Astronot’ film ; the trailer link is on the profile page.
Deep in the heart of Southampton docks I stumbled across these two massive caterpillar dumper trucks that absolutely dwarfed 66077 which was waiting to hook up to some empty car containers to take them back to Cowley..
I am not sure whether these trucks had been imported or if they were waiting for export.
Either way they were impressive bits of kit.
This happy dump diver seems to prefer household furniture to food waste! He looks pretty healthy too! Maybe he is looking for that perfect accent piece for the cave? The bear necessities?
Lots of dumped caravans popping up around Stockholm in the last few years. This one can be admired at the household waste recycling centre near the retirement home in Tungelsta. Yours for the taking I guess.

A fresh dump of snow. We got at least 30cm of fresh snow overnight. I actually had cleared the previous snow from the garbage can (on right) and covered my car the night before. Lucky that today is my day off.
I always wonder what the story is behind these abandoned autos. The desert is a great place for them but there are remains of car wrecks in many local areas.
A NJ Transit stone train unloads fresh ballast onto track one of the lower North Jersey Coast Line in Deal, NJ. New Jersey Transit has spent a large portion of 2020 revamping the NJCL right-of-way, which has included tie replacement and laying new ballast. Recently, these stone trains have been sent to the NYS&W for loading at Tilcon Quarry in Pompton Lakes, NJ.
