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.

Congelin was a siding on the Pinjarra - Narrogin railway, the line saw its last train in 1957.

These used to be loading docks for trains.

This Viper Crew is ready and anxious, after this last battle they will go back home. Knowing your one more mission away from

This was probably Grayston, White's portrait of the TC 4000 after repainting from J.D.White's livery. At this point Sparrows are still to join the fleet, but the livery has already been chosen. This is a large format print from the J.D.White Collection.

This was a photo from my collection, but now with Richard Blokker, to whom I am very grateful for letting me post this amazing picture.

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 Seattle waterfront and harbor are abuzz with activity on any given day. This series is just a small glimpse of all that "busyness".

I chose to use textures and emphasized color to capture the details...

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.

The Arcade & Attica Railroad's 1920 Alco Consolidation #18 brings a couple of empty covered hoppers down the interchange track on the west side of the village of Arcade, NY, heading for Arcade Junction and a connection with the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, just over half a mile ahead. There, the cars will be dropped on a siding for pick-up by the next local freight.

Although well-known for their steam tourist excursions, the Arcade & Attica is primarily a shortline freight railroad, serving agricultural and industrial customers with facilities along its line, which stretches northeast out of Arcade as far as North Java, NY. While freight ops on this line are primarily done with GE center-cab diesels, the railroad does occasionally make freight moves with the steam locomotive, if it happens to be hot when needed.

This image was captured during a May 2025 photo shoot on New York's Arcade & Attica Railroad, which featured Consolidation #18 hauling both freight and passenger consists. As of 2025, the Arcade & Attica is the only tourist railroad in New York State that regularly runs steam tourist operations.
