Loading gill net for fishing. On the other end is a truck with a big winch, providing tension, and feeding the winch on the front of the gill net boat.
Loading point at the colliery at Sanbao, Liaoning Province, China, looked to be closed but the presence of loaded wagons told another story. The mines in this area were extensively developed by the Japanese during their occupation in the 1930s and early 1940s. All now demolished with a new road running along the line of the railway.
Thirty minutes behind A439 we see CN train U716, an empty ore train headed to UTAC's Fairlane plant to load pellets and turn back to Proctor. The all EMD consist consisting of CN SD40-2W 5349 and repainted DMIR 'tunnel motors' 404 and 405 is approaching the Munger Shaw Rd. crossing at MP 14 on CN's North Division Missabe Sub mainline. Modern day CN's designation for this route pays homage to the historic former Duluth, Missabe and Northern Railroad which was incorporated in 1891, ran its first train in 1892 and built into Duluth proper in 1893. In 1938 the road was merged into the Duluth and Iron Range both long owned by US Steel to officially create the legendary Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway.
Passing overhead is MP 18.9 on CN's Rainy Sub, the former Duluth, Winnipeg and Pacific Railway mainline. Today the CN uses the two lines as a directional mainline for all their 'core' traffic which is how they refer to their non iron ore related thru trains to and from Canada. All southbound trains (manifest, grain, oil, intermodal etc.) take the Rainy while all northbound counterpartsuse the Missabe for a distance of about 60 miles between Nopeming Jct. on the south and Shelton Jct. on the north. But with both north and southbound ore and limestone trains using this lower line it sees far more traffic than it's counterpart overhead.

"Stick" Shilman and Brandon Terrell arrive at "103" in the 900 with an equipment transport for Mill 5/dry sort from town. The 988 log loader could be easily moved by flat car between the Mill Three and Five sites as needed.

The Port of Geelong is Victoria's second busiest, and grain transport (mostly wheat) is a major factor. Here a ship registered in Monrovia (the capital of African country Liberia) is loading. Ships like this are often referred to as having flags of convenience. Shipping companies often save millions of dollars registering ships in countries that offer little more than a paper registration. I do like the creative name though with a touch of the classical, "Minoan Courage".
37222 and one of its pals (thought to be 37375) descend from Chalmerston with blending coal for Killoch, near Laight's Farm crossing. Early 1990s.
WNYP's stone train for Turtlepoint is being live loaded at Machias, New York on August 6, 2019. If I remember right I believe we counted on average eight buckets to a car. The load time was about three hours of which half of it occurred during a torrential downpour. This is shoreline railroading, whatever it takes to serve the customers.
Blue hour at the ore dock, in Marquette, Michigan.
For scale, those are indeed large railroad ore cars, on top of the structure.

There are already some awesome Power Loaders out there like those from Larry Lars and ninbendo.
I wanted to have a go and try to get a small scale loader close to the one used by Ripley. The leg mod allows for a small amount of articulation.
