The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.

I saw this excellent 'graffiti' drawing on the side of a telephone box and it didn't take long for the story behind to match what I envisioned. I wish I could credit the artist involved. Enjoy!
A westbound BNSF coal train with an ACe leader snakes through the S curves on the approach to East Austin, headed west out of Helena on the old NP.
Über Nacht hatte es geschneit. Bei Sonnenschein und 4 Grad taute der Schnee und die Wege waren matschig und mit großen Pfützen übersät.
It had snowed overnight. In sunshine and 4 degrees the snow thawed and the paths were muddy and littered with large puddles.
November 1990 was the date and coal trains to New England were no big deal. It was business as usual between the Springfield Terminal Ry. and Conrail moving coal to and from the Public Service of NH Merrimack generating station in Bow, NH. 99% of the time Conrail supplied GE C-30-7A's and variants to the service. During this time period, brand new 100 ton coal hoppers with reporting marks PSHN were purchased for the continuing service. With a fresh Conrail crew on board, train UBO-15A passes Norton Co, famous for their griding wheels, pass the complex in the Greendale section of north Worcester, MA on the PW owned section between Barbers and CP 45. November 15, 1990.
A pair of BNSF GEVOs crawl up to Skyline Trestle with a loaded crude oil train. Halfway back are four MRL SD70s, and another GEVO is shoving on the rear. Everything in notch eight, sanders blasting, assaulting the senses. Real railroading might not be dead yet.
This is stepping out of my comfort zone, so if you think it sucks, I guess it probably does. All I know is that for a few moments on a crisp and breezy Montana morning, I was able to take it all in and forget about life. The hike was worth it.

I call it daily grind but this isn't something I actually do everyday - I just pay for someone else to do it for me in a shop everyday!!! (Electric Coffee Company)
I've saved a ton of money working from home and not buy coffee. We do our own coffee. Every once in a while i'll grind some fresh beans for a nice cup..

Die mit Pappeln besetzten Baumreihen zwischen den Kuhweiden und Feldern wurden in den letzten Jahren durch Stürme gelichtet.

The rows of trees covered with poplars between the cow pastures and fields have been cleared by storms in recent years.
Not seen too often a truck used to grind hay into a silage pile - the dust was kicking up.
I like how they had a grinder plus the claw to lift the bales.
Made some new tools and got out to do some freehand with friends. Looks like gears and lube to me how about you?

Just another nice colorful shot from this fun solo chase on a damp cloudy fall morning.
Vermont Railway train 263 is grinding eastward on the Green Mountain Railroad's Bellows Falls Subdivision approaching the top of the hill having just crossed the first Summit Road crossing at MP 35.7 on this historic former Rutland mainline which opened between Bellows Falls and Burlington in 1849.
In the lead is SD70M-2 431 built in December 2006 for the Florida East Coast, and one of only two six axle units on the roster. She is trailed by three geeps (GMTX 2215, CLP 204, VTR 207) and thirty cars destined for Riverside Yard in Rockingham. The train is working hard and climbing steadily since leaving Rutland, and once they reach the 1518 ft crest of the Green Mountains at aptly named Summit Station they will have hoisted the train 1000 ft up in the 18 mile stretch.
