My take on set 4201 Loader and Tipper, only in a futuristic style.

C&C welcome as always :)
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.

VOS Pace is a new platform supply vessel (PSV) built for the Dutch company, Vroon Offshore Services. The vessel, built at the Cosco Guangdong Shipyard in China, was launched in June 2014 and delivered to her owners in February 2015.
It is the first of the six PX121-type PSVs designed by Ulstein for Vroon Offshore and is outfitted to support drilling activities with longer and deeper boreholes and other offshore activities in European waters.
Storage capacities of the PX121 vessel
The PX121 is equipped with tanks for carrying oil, water and drilling fluids along with two stainless steel tanks for carrying flammable liquids or corrosive chemicals. Onboard tanks can store up to 1,035m3 of fresh water, 1,674m3 of drill water, 1,464m3 of fuel, 1,294m3 of liquid mud or brine and 255m3 of dry bulk. The vessel also features 391.7m3 heeling tanks, and can carry a 257m3 of base oil and 150m3 of methanol.
Accommodation and deck machinery aboard the platform service vessel
VOS Pace is outfitted to provide accommodation to 26 people in 14 single crew cabins and six double cabins dedicated for 12 passengers.
The vessel features two 10t tugger winches with a pulling speed of 35m/min, two capstans with a safe working load (SWL) of 10t each, and a deck crane with a SWL of 3t at a maximum outreach of 18m.

"The PSV is fitted with two 20-man life rafts on each side and a man overboard boat (MOB) to carry six people."
External fire-fighting systems of the ABS FiFi Class vessel make it capable of dispersing 3,820m3 of water an hour. Manual fire-fighting equipment include two fire monitors. The high-capacity water jets are capable of releasing 1,200m3 of water every hour to a distance of more than 120m.
Engine and propulsion
VOs Pace PSV is powered by a diesel electric propulsion system comprising of two 1,630kW diesel engines and a pair of two diesel engines generating 990kW of power each.
The propulsion system includes two 1,600kW azimuthing twin propellers and two bow thrusters, each generating 880kW of power. The ship is also fitted with a 130ekW emergency generator set for shipboard electricity. The propulsion system ensures a maximum speed of 15kt.
L193 ANX - Photographed by me at the heavy haulage lay-by on the A5 Near Shenstone, Staffordshire in October 1995.
The 5 axle trailer is loaded with a Great Western Class 52 diesel electric locomotive and is running close to 100 Tons GCW.
This lay-by was a great spot for me, to photograph abnormal loads, travelling the heavy haulage A5/M42 route avoiding the 80 Ton restriction on the elevated sections of the M6 through Birmingham.
Being close to my home and on the way from work I took many photos at the site, some of which I have uploaded to flickr.

LS&I U30C 3008 and HLCX 5968 lead a cut of Tilden loads through Empire Junction as they head for Eagle Mills and put on a smoke show... kinda.
Next phase of the Georgia Central-- GP38-2s a plenty. These had begun showing up a few months prior and mixing with the briefly present SD45Rs and then those behemoths found their way over to the Meridian & Bigbee.
Rewind to my marked out NS B32-8 leading L782 a couple of weeks ago and here's a previous version-- FURX 5568. Returned to First Union by NS due to their high lease rate and replaced with NS' own 5600/5800 series rebuilds performed in house, these 5500s found their way into a variety of leases (and still do today). I can't recall how many NS "bandits" there were on GC but I'm thinking two or three. At any rate, I immediately thought "Sigh...so this is how it's going to be." Turns out the GP38-2 era wouldn't be that long, either...
At any rate, this is the International Paper woodchip shuttle Y115, which makes a daily run out to Faulkville for woodchip loads to take to IP's Savannah paper mill. The haul is all of about 10 miles from the chip loadout to mill but keeps a lot of trucks off of busy and congested US 80 going into Savannah. A Class 1 wouldn't touch this traffic with a 10-foot pole.
Y115 has come west to the siding in Meldrim to run around their train and head back to Savannah. Operations on this train vary between a Meldrim run-around and double-ending the power to avoid the run-around. It just seems to vary by the day and probably whether there are two qualified engineers on the train any given day.

The tiny hopper capacity and fast cycle time means lots of cycles, and a truck thats lots of fun to watch. I hope to have some video up soon.
