Two employees of the 19 odd mile long Thunder Rail use a front end loader to load a single hopper with ballast at Arborfield Saskatchewan. Ronny (in the foreground) has just finished telling me of a torrential downpour the town received just a few hours before my arrival. As conversation turned to the weather, we both agreed the province has had quite enough rain for the season. I spent an hour or so photographing the two men at work in the yard as well as out on the line before departing to continue my journey northward. Five days after this photo was taken, the 400 residents of Arborfield were forced to flee to higher ground as yet another rain storm arrived to flood the streets, homes, and businesses. I've always found the people of rural Saskatchewan to be welcoming and friendly to outsiders, these two railwaymen were no exception. Although I did not return to the community after the flood, I'm sure these men, like many others in the area, were hard at work getting things back as they should be....
Some years ago, I was travelling south from Woomera on the Stuart Highway, when I came across this wide load convoy. I think oversize is a better description.

In the Dominican Republic, sugar cane is cut by hand with a machete. It is the lowest paid workers who actually cut the cane; they are usually new immigrants from Haiti. The work is grueling, somewhat dangerous, and very uncomfortable. The action of cutting sugar cane is called "picando la caña," which is from picar, and someone who cuts the cane is a picador, plural picadores. Picadores are paid by the metric ton.
The cut cane is gathered and put into a cart. The person who is in charge of this process is a cart-warden, or carretero. Un carretero sabe carretear.
Usually a team of oxen (bueys) pulls the cart to the weighing area, or grua , where the cart's contents will be weighed. The picadores and the carretero will receive tickets representing the amount they cut or delivered, respectively.
The workers live in a batey. A batey is a company town consisting of barracks and a few houses.
Every year for seventy years or more, male seasonal immigrants from Haiti arrive. These people are called congoses (plural-singular un congo), which is a derisive term roughly equivalent to "hick," "idiot," "chump," or "sucker" in our language. Congoses are lodged five to a room with no bedding and expected to work long, hard hours. The conditions are deplorable, even when they can get paid many times more than what they had previously received in Haiti.
Over time, some of these migrants have stayed through the six months that follow the zafra, called tiempo muerto, and have started families. Haitian women have migrated, as well. Bateyes are unique in culture and language in their mix of that which is Haitian and that which is Dominican.
Bateyes are often still regarded as places where only Haitians (non-citizens) live. Since the Haitians who originally filled the bateyes were not legal immigrants, their children have often been denied citizenship papers. Without citizenship papers, these Dominican born children of Haitian immigrants cannot go to school nor can they receive the benefits of other public services.
However, the Dominican sugar industry is no longer competitive, and when combined with the historical lack of educational and health services to these communities, the low wages have tended to make bateyes some of the poorest communities in the country.
The current trend in the Dominican Republic is for the ingenios to stop producing and for the bateyes to very slowly transform themselves into new sorts of communities. Los Alcarrizos in the Santo Domingo province is a good example of something that used to be a batey but now is a municipality which survives through jobs in the area, but making the transition is hard when people are so poor and only know about the sweet stuff.
Right now the workers get about 10 - 12 Dollars a day, working from sun-up to sun-down. It's hard on the animals too.

Pay loaders from MTA New York City Transit Buses await transfer from the College Point Depot on lowboy trucks. Nine are being sent to Suffolk County to assist with snow clearing operations, each being escorted with supervision and operators.
One of the most obvious old-fashioned traits of this store is the on-street pseudo-loading dock on the back of the store. This is certainly not something that the city would allow these days, and I wonder if they ever run into major trouble having non-exclusive use of the space -- legally, at least, it's just a general-use 30 minute truck load zone. (Similarly, they probably shouldn't be storing stuff on the sidewalks like they are in this picture, but I can't get too irritated by that since they have incredibly little back room space for a store like this...)

For once an original. Going back to the first LOAD and documenting the layouts I did.
Journalling reads: I came across a challenge on Big Picture Scrapbooking to do a Lay Out A Day for the month of January, 2008. It was being hosted by Lain Ehman and there were prizes for keeping up as well as completion, a message board for discussion and best of all – great inspiration from others. What’s there to lose? So I signed up for a measly few dollars and the fun began. I was able to complete a full 31 layouts in the 31 days (no grand prize=() but for me it was totally worth it – just the drive to get some work done that I’ve been meaning to for what seems like forever. Thanks for the great experience! I can’t wait for the next one!

Workers load flour into phinisi ship at Pelabuhan Rakyat (Pelra) Paotere, Port Paotere, Makassar, Indonesia (10 August 2010)
The first train to load at Lynch 3 in several years is easing beneath the loader with a set of export empties for Newport News. Shortly afterwards, the loadout would break down, leaving the train at a standstill until late that night.
