Loading area for powder and dust products at the Morris & Perry Ltd., Gurney Slade limestone quarry. This independent family owned company supplies asphalt, ready mix concrete and aggregates. I think that this section is operated by the Gurney Slade Lime & Stone Company Limited (a subsidiary of LKAB Minerals) a group engaged in the manufacture of ground limestone and fertilizer products, the recycling of limestone powders and mineral processing.
Rail First Asset Management's CM3302 (still in CFCLA livery) and Qube's 1104 load a Qube grain train at Cunningar in southern NSW, 18th February 2022. CFCLA became RFAM when Australian investors bought out the American owners of CFCLA.
This truck was hauling a single-axle trailer carrying an oversized load through Stayner, ON today. I saw it coming and jumped out of the car to grab a shot but forgot to turn on Steady Shot (turned off for table-top shots earlier) so it is a bit soft, and didn't have time to dial in Continuous Shooting to get try to avoid overlapping traffic. Not the shot I was hoping for, but not a total bust.
These used to be loading docks for trains.

U743 with a CN SD75I and a BCOL Dash 9 have just tied onto a second cut of DM&IR mini quads to be loaded at the Empire. The massive and impressive Empire processing plant sits in the background. The plant is scheduled to be closed late this year or early next year. When the plant closes that will bring a end to the Ore trains to the docks in Escanaba that started with the CNW, later the WC and now CN. 1 ore train, the all rail to the Soo will still run as that is loaded at the Tilden mine by the LS&I and interchanged at Partridge or Eagle Mills to the CN.
The four horses, Pyroïs, Eoüs, Aethon, and Phlegon start their daily trip but the weight is lighter than usual and the yoke is free of its accustomed load. Just as curved-sided boats rock in the waves without their proper ballast, and being too light, are unstable at sea, so the chariot, free of its usual burden, leaps in the air and rushes into the heights as though it were empty. As feared by Helios, Phaethon is unable to handle the race of the chariot. Terrified, he abandons the reins, and when the horses feel the reins lying across their backs, they veer off course and run unchecked through unknown regions of the air, outside the established usual borders. They climb into the sky until the constellations and rush downwards until to lick the earth. The fire burns the mountains and the heat dries the rivers. "Mother Earth", with scorched hair and eyes covered by ashes, begs Zeus to stop this crazy racing. The all-powerful father of the gods climbs to the highest summit of heaven and
“intonat et dextra libratum fulmen ab aure
misit in aurigam pariterque animaque rotisque
expulit et saevis conpescuit ignibus ignes.
Consternantur equi et saltu in contraria facto
colla iugo eripiunt abruptaque lora relinquunt.
Illic frena iacent, illic temone revulsus
axis, in hac radii fractarum parte rotarum,
sparsaque sunt late laceri vestigia currus.
At Phaethon rutilos flamma populante capillos
volvitur in praeceps longoque per aëra tractu
fertur, ut interdum de caelo stella sereno,
etsi non cecidit, potuit cecidisse videri.
[met. 2, 311 – 22]
“he thundered, and balancing a lightning bolt in his right hand threw it from eye-level at the charioteer, removing him, at the same moment, from the chariot and from life, extinguishing fire with fierce fire. Thrown into confusion the horses, lurching in different directions, wrench their necks from the yoke and throw off the broken harness. Here the reins lie, there the axle torn from the pole, there the spokes of shattered wheels, and the fragments of the wrecked chariot are flung far and wide. But Phaethon, flames ravaging his glowing hair, is hurled headlong, leaving a long trail in the air, as sometimes a star does in the clear sky, appearing to fall although it does not fall.”
Far from Phaethon’s own country, the river god Eridanus takes the young’s body from the air, and bathes his smoke-blackened face. There the Italian nymphs consign his body, still smoking from that triple-forked flame, to the earth, and they also carve an epitaph in the rock [met 2, 326 – 7]:

Re-enactors of the 3rd Maine Regiment Volunteer Infantry load gear and supplies onto a Kennebec Central Mixed Train in the station area at Alna Center, Maine, during the June, 2024 "Road to Togus" event at the Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway Museum. Although not historically accurate, because the Kennbec Central was not built until well after the Civil War, the re-enactors were present at this event to emphasize the connection between the KCRR and the National Soldiers Home in Togus, Maine, where hundreds of Civil War veterans lived out the rest of their lives in retirement.
Monkton Farleigh ammunition depot utilised an old stone quarry below a plateau some 450 feet above the valley floor in which ran the main line railway that was its principal source of supply. Before the depot could be commissioned, an efficient means was need to bring in ammunition from the railway at Farleigh Down Sidings. The sidings were just over a mile from the depot as the crow flies but more than four miles by road along steep and tortuous country lanes.
In November 1937 the Great Western Railway were contracted to lay the sidings and build a 1000 foot long raised loading platform complete with a narrow gauge track to carry the ammunition wagons. Outline plans had already been prepared to drive a mile long tunnel from the heart of the workings terminating in an underground sorting yard built beneath the sidings in the valley below.
These photographs, taken in January 2016, showcase the building as it stands today.
Inspiration for the framing of the shots came from the 1975 New Topographics exhibition.
