An East bound Coal train on the James River Viaduct at Richmond , VA heading towards Newport News from where it will be shipped for exports. On the left side can be seen the famous Jefferson Hotel where the movie 'Gone with the Wind' was shot. The two Units in YN2 Paint scheme were still fairly common.
I'm on a mission, perhaps not attainable, to shoot all of the SD70s before they are rebuilt into those wide cab abominations. I'm not sure I'll get it done but we'll see.
Here's one of those spartan cab 70s, of the ex-Conrail variety, pulling mixer 10G into Enola Yard with a cut of Camrail exports fresh out of the GE plant in Erie.
Both of these, the standard cab and the Erie exports are on borrowed time. A two for one!

Para dejar y compartir nada mas que es uno de los export wizard que utilice en la foto de las hojas de la morera.
I initially used Nikon ViewNXi to export a TIFF image with minimal processing of only a landscape setting and white balance. I then worked with DxO PhotoLab 3 to finish up post-processing by making adjustments to saturation, brightness and contrast.
The Omori Silver Mine area flourished as a key town under direct shogunate control, central to about 150 villages. Discovered in the 14th century, the mine peaked in the early 17th century, exporting silver overseas. The townscape stretches about 2.8 kilometers, preserving historic sites such as the magistrate’s office remains, samurai residences, temples, and cemeteries, conveying the town’s mining heritage.
العقيلات (جمع عقيل) هم مجموعة من الرجال من قبائل مختلفه حملوا على عاتقهم عبئ التجارة وتحملوا عناء ومشقة السفر ومخاطر الصحراء ، فـ شيّـدوا بذلك دعامة متينة للإقتصاد في المملكة العربية السعودية ، حتى عــُـرف عهدهم بـ اقتصاد العقيلات
أغلب هؤلاء الرجال هم من رجال نجد والقصيم (وبريدة تحديداً) ، ولهم أمراء -في وقتهم- معروفين ، حيث استمرت تجارتهم ما يقارب الأربعة قرون كان آخر عهدها عام 1949
وقد سـُـمّـو بالـ"عقيلات" نظراً لارتدائهم العمامة والعقال ، وكانت تجارتهم آنذاك تختص بالإبل في الدرجة الأولى ، والخيل والمواشي والسمن والتوابل والأقمشة ، حيث كانوا يسلكون طرقاً للتجارة من القصيم إلى كل من الكويت والعراق ومصر والشام والأردن وفلسطين
وبذلك فهم من الجيل القديم الذي عمل بالإستيراد والتصدير من وإلى الجزيرة العربية
وكانت رحلاتهم تستغرق شهوراً ، وأحياناً سنيناً طوال ، يقطعون فيها الصحراء بكل عزم وثبات لسياقة الإبل وغيرها من السلع ، وبيعها في البلدان المذكورة أعلاه
ومن أشهر أمرائهم آل الدخيل ، العجلان ، التويجري ، الفوزان ، آل الجربوع ، آل الرميح ، آل الشريدة ، آل الربدي ... وغيرهم
أما الرجل في هذه الصورة فهو العم إبراهيم من القصيم ، أحد أحفاد العقيلات ، وجدته بسوق الحرف بمدينه بريدة ، حيث يملك "دكاناً" صغيراً يعرض فيه مستلزمات رحــّـالة العقيلات وإبلهم
وبينما كنا نتجاذب أطراف الحديث سالته عن عمره ، فسكت لـ برهة ، ثم ابتسم وقال أنه لم يتجاوز السبعين عاماً ، وعلت ملامحه ابتسامة المقبل على الحياة بكل شغف
تبسمت بدوري وعلمت انه تجاوز السبعين خريفاً بأشواط عديده .. لكن روحه لا تزال يانعة
رجالٌ بالكاد يجهلهم التاريخ ، وبالكاد يعرفهم أبناء اليوم
تم إلتقاطها أثناء جولتي بمنطقة القصيم

Al-Okailat is a group of brave men from different tribes of Najd - Al-Qassim (spicifically Buraydah) who travelled between the Arabian Peninsula and Kuwait, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine for trade purposes; establishing a firm economic power at the time via import-export business.
Their main cargo is camles along with horses, livestock, spices, fabric and cooking oil.
Their era continued for about 4 (four) centuries up to 1949 A.D. and was a landmark of the economic development of Saudi Arabia and the Arabian Peninsula.
Their journies were through harsh environments (mainly deserts) facing sand storms, freezing nights and bandits. Thus, they were to show great deal of courage and bravery.
Their journies took months, and most of the time years of travel, and among the qualities that seem to be connotations attributed to their name were generosity and noble moral code.
The man in this photo is Ibraheem (Abraham), a grand son of the Okailat whom I met in Qassim - Buraydah, Crafts Market. He owns a small shop and displays various tools and equipment used by the Okailat at the time.
as we were talking I asked him "how old are you?"
He took a split second of silence, smiled and said "Not more than 70." showing a passionate appetite for life!
I smiled back and knew he is much older than 70 years, but has the spirit of a young vigorous man.
Al Okailat: Brave men that history knows very well, while the young generation knows so little about.

I think we can guess what's about to happen, I shall refrain from posting the next three/four frames!
Following on from the last two uploads, there seems to be a common theme occurring, it’s not worth going out the house these days there’s nothing left!
86608 & 86632 cruse past Mill Meece with 4M87 on Friday 5th June 2020, I’d wanted this shot for a number of years and had set my stall out to give it ago regardless of the poor forecast knowing time was running out for the AL6’s. Sometimes, not very often admittedly everything just drops into place, the sun wouldn’t have been on the front had it turned up on time but with issues at Northampton the train ended up running 30 late…
This harbour dates from the 1820’s and at one time was a major player in the exporting of the famous Caithness Flagstone. Back in the day the famous stone was exported overseas. The harbour still looks great and very solid and still provides shelter for lighter craft. It is a shame that most of buildings around the harbour are ruinous and in quite a sorry state.
A loaded taconite train is tied on the Keenan Sub. and will eventually head south on the CN system for Louisiana and forwarding on as export cargo. The rear unit is seen here across a snow-covered field northwest of Northgate near the Keenan Yard

Turning the clock back half a century and more when diminutive saddle tanks busied themselves around the dockside at Workington, on 31st March 2001, 1885-built Robert Heath 0-4-0 saddle tank 'No.6' moves a consignment of rail brought by the private railway from Corus' works to the dockside, to be loaded and shipped to Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. The locomotive and crew were on loan for a photographic charter, the rail transfer between steelworks and port normally undertaken by a diesel loco.

A heavy loaded export ore train (CN U724) dips at the Amnicon River at Rockmont on the CN Superior Subdivision mainline. The train is starting to grind up the grade that crests at Hines. Good thing CN double-tracked the mainline here - it certainly makes a big difference with getting trains out of the Lake Superior Basin. For reference, the original mainline is on the left while the newer is to the right with a slight jog.
While the Export Coal train runs no more I pulled this shot from the archives from a couple of summers ago. The three MAC are the DP units on this southbound coal train with three more up front. While it certainly doesn't look like all this horsepower is necessary it will be before long as to get to Seward the railroad must climb Grandview & Divide Hills both with grades around 3%. That is pretty steep even for a short 70 car coal train.
PN's 8803 passes over the bridge in Oonoonba, on hte outskirts of Townsville, with 6J77 export sugar train to Townsville Jetty.
On 29 March 1991, 56104 brought a train of coal from Blindwells Opencast Site to Leith Docks for export. It is seen over the coal drops within the docks.
I just drove into the docks, took my shots and drove out again. How things have changed in 25 years.
