Strangely, the Pennine watershed here is entirely in Lancashire. The small power line connects Rochdale and Nelson and it even clips a bit of Yorkshire off to the left. Above the road the foothills of Thieveley Pike, rising to 449 metres and Deerplay Moor. Immediately behind Bradget Hey was a coal mine,Copy Pit, all traces of which have vanished. Coal was mined here from at least the 16th century. The reserves survived nationalisation, and continued to be worked by the NCB from 1947 until closure in 1963. Either side of the summit were steep railway gradients reaching 1:70 which necessitated banking engines assisting heavy goods trains from either Burnley or Todmorden. Crossovers near the top controlled by a disappeared signal box allowed the locomotives to return back to the bottom for further service.
Engine 638 was the last coal burning steam engine. It was manufactured in 1906 and put into service with the Colorado & Southern R>R. at Trinidad for hauling cola, cattle, agricultural products and general merchandise. The the engine saw service in other areas of Colorado. It was retired to this location in a dedication ceremony held in 1963.
On August 2nd 2011 Santa Clara Fire Department responded to a burning house. Fire had spread to a "structure" behind the house that contained a "heavy fuel load". The black smoke cloud was atypical of a house fire and looked more like a burning industrial complex. After the "structure at the rear collapsed the fire was quickly handled by first and second alarm units.

I just get a kick watching these things operate. I am going to buy one of these. What a way to waste time on a summer afternoon, kicking back, drinking beer, and watching one of these waste gas and pollute the air, and piss off pansy ass liberals, democrats, and enviro-freaks.

The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service. In this sequence we see some of the equipment from the North Bay Area and points further north.
This pumper was built by Smeal on a Spartan chassis for Healdsburg Fire Department.
Engine No. 1053 pulling empty car haulers south through Cleburne, Texas. Possibly going to an auto plant in San Antonio, Texas or perhaps Mexico to load new vehicles.
Addendum: I decided to use the guard rail in foreground as part of the scene. Originally, this was where Henderson street crossed the railroad tracks as you proceeded west into town. the street was blocked off when the railroad viaduct was constructed. The Amtrac passenger depot is located on the other side of the train, and the red light reflections are from the railroad crossing lights.

SS Red Oak Victory, a Boulder Victory-class cargo ship built during World War II, is the only survivor of the 747 ships built at the Kaiser Richmond Shipyards. She is one of only three surviving Victory ships, larger and faster than the earlier Liberty ships.
Launched as SS Red Oak Victory, she was named in honor of Red Oak, Iowa, a town that had suffered a disproportionate number of casualties during the war. She was then commissioned as a U.S. Navy cargo ship, USS Red Oak Victory (AK-235), serving as an ammunition ship in the South Pacific until the end of World War II.
Red Oak Victory was crewed by the U.S. Merchant Marine during activations in support of the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and several international relief operations.
Today she is a museum ship, berthed at what remains of the Kaiser Richmond shipyard.
