- the arm you see above the truck is attached to the vehicle- the driver climbs up and loads his own vehicle. typically there is a ground crew to get the branches into neat piles for him to grab. the goal was to push in as much vegetative debris as possible before going to the dumping site. Unfortunately, the crews were paid by the cubic yard, desire to get as many loads to the dump didn’t encourage quality packing. That is why there were Corps of Engineers inspectors at the loading site and at the dump. It was their job to make sure there were not branches hanging over the side, sticking out the top, that the gates on back were secure. This is just one part of what the crew monitor was supposed to do, making sure the work zone was set up properly (flaggers at both ends, warning signs on all approaches, safety equipment on crew) was some of the other components. When Katrina hit - the cleanup contract crews got mobilized faster than the staff that was to make sure they worked safely and followed the contract. There were crews running around crazy in Hattiesburg and Pedal area of Mississippi that I was stationed at. Nobody was following all the safety things- mostly because they weren’t informed by the main contractor that the sub-ed under, and that when we finally got monitors with them- they had no idea what the rules were either-. Fortunately, further serious injuries due to Hurricane Katrina did not occur, but there were many close calls. I know I personally prevented a few- that made the mission all worth it.
Ted - You don't know what I went through to get these photos.
If I continue posting on this site, think you are going to have to see that I get hazardous duty pay.
You can read some of the story on my blog.

SD60 #6254 leads an eastbound ethanol load at Kittredge on the D&I early in the morning on Oct. 7, 2012.
A few years ago I made a banner for my daughter and I saved a few that I didn't use. I used the banner as a mat for a future picture of my soon to be born grandson. So glad I hung on to the extra banners, I have one more so I'll be making a companion page to go with this one.
The removing of the pile of topsoil from behind the shop gets under way with the first load ready to tram.
This full load will require the use of the Handwhich to pull it up the grade from Creekside.
I first saw the XXD load-ding mentioned on Acquire. I purchased it from A+R Store, which, to my knowledge is the only place you can buy it from in the U.S.
Some things to note.
1) You should use the supplied 3M stickytape to stick them together. If you don’t and your wall wart doesn’t apply enough pressure it will fall apart in the middle of the night (which is also why the thing doesn’t line up correctly in the later photos).
2) It stores flat for transport, but then the sticky stuff isn’t going to be so good for you. YMMV
3) They have a cutaway for the U.S. grounding cord if you need it. It also doubles as a mount point for a tackboard pin which they sell separately.
4) It comes in three colors: red, black, and pink. I prefer the one I got.
5) You can buy a bunch, nail them into the wall and use them to store pens and such. They even will sell it in bulk with corporate logos and shit.

American Century loads coal at Superior Midwest Energy.

Re-enactors from the 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry load their rifles in preparation for a firing demonstration in the fields at Alna Center, during the June, 2024 "Road to Togus" event at the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum.
Back in the 1860s, most Federal Soldiers in the infantry carried the M1861 Springfield Rifle, a heavy, single-shot, muzzle-loading weapon of .58 caliber. A far cry from military weapons of today, these rifles were effective out to about 500 yards, but even the most highly-trained soldiers were only able to load and fire perhaps 3 rounds per minute accurately. The loading process had multiple, time-consuming steps, and usually required the soldier to be standing. Since most infantry fought in lines, in open country, a soldier loading his weapon was an inviting, stationary target. It's no wonder that Civil War battles produced incredible and terrible casualty rates. The folks who took on the defense of the United States of America were some pretty brave people.
This is a front loader, from a 20-piece Road Construction diecast playset I have. It doesn't have who made it on the package, only the phrase "Hot Zone" on the front. However, some of the pieces are exactly like pieces I've found in smaller playsets which are made by Suntoys, so I suspect they are the same company that made this front loader and the playset.

58028 - Loading 7R50 - (1056 WO or SX? STP COY to Grimethorpe Colliery, which was formed of 27 HEAs loaded with "Black Gold" [for blending with coal mined at Grimethorpe] & despite leaving late 69 minutes late at 1205, the front 7 HEAs were empty, but the train couldn't wait any longer as 58007 & 6G44 was due) - Kiverton Park Colliery - morning - 30/03/94.
Apolgies (I'm not doing very well this week), as this photo should have been 58007 & 6G44 (I blame all those "Bones" I photographed that morning, with three visiting the colliery in just 3 hours & I'll upload the correct one later)!
Day 25
Inspiration : Self Defense
[The background story]
My mind works like a ping pong ball sometimes.
So when I first heard the prompt of self defense, Bob Marley's song "I shot the sheriff" came into my head because of one particular line. That got me thinking about other music and songs and lyrics and things that mean something to me and that led me to scrap the best concert that I never went to.
I have a lot, and I mean a lot of journaling on this one, but it's hidden in the pocket. Basically it tells the story of how Jon and I missed a concert [accidentally] but it ended up being a blessing in disguise so I could spend the night with my dad and brother before my grandma passed away.

Ollie and Bri load one of the kayaks to take to the lake for the day, they had to make two trips because the Explorer's rack wasn't quite big enough and they didn't have good straps to hold two kayaks down at a time. They are sooo heavy too!
i used to be a huge sketch person, but i am really inspired by colors, so i learned that was not for me. Still love me some Becky Higgins though. i adapted the sketch a bit ... liked the strip, circles and just needed to move them a bit.
