The 400m long CSCL Indian Ocean beached in river Elbe approaching Hamburg. The Indian Ocean is capable to load 19.000 standard containers in one voyage and has 77.000 HP on her main engine, her maximum draught is 16m, currently about 11m. She was beached intentional on the smooth side (in the mudflats) of the fairway while she had problems with the steering gear. The rescue team needs a higher tide to free her, so she will stay for some days more....

BR Railfreight 58004 was recorded waiting at the loading pad at Baddesley Colliery near Tamworth while the MGR hoppers are loaded with coal to be moved to Ironbridge Power Station. The incoming empties had arrived as the 6G24 10:02 from Ironbridge PS but alas, my notes do not comfirm the return working details. This North Warwickshire colliery closed in 1989.

This exosuit is made to be very similar to the Power Loader featured in the movie Aliens. Designed to fit a 10 inch tall Bionicle figure, this exosuit is fully posable and removable from the character itself.

Hope this big guy makes me get into Round 3, this was a blast to build!

To see this just a little easier, here it is on white and zoomed in a little.

Comments and faves appreciated!

An empty Weston hopper train crosses over the Kinnickinnic River as a loaded Weston coal passes on the adjacent track.

Loading zone of the old Pierce Stone gravel processing facility in Little Falls, N.Y.

There were two of these bays, each of which could fit several hopper cars. The trains would come in off the New York Central main line on a siding, load up, then head off to whatever was being built. Which was quite a bit in the early 20th century, when this was in operation.

You can still see the wooden ties in the water here, decades after the rails were removed. Up above, by the icicles, are the loading chutes for the gravel.

Finally finished! After 10+ hours of work and about $65 worth of ordering the Blackhawk is finished. I'd like to thank Lego Junkie and Lego Haulic for their amazing Blackhawks, which I based mine off of (mostly the nose). When I started building this model I started out with the nose, then cabin, then rotor system and finally the tail (which was a bitch to get right, the angle for it is quite hard to achieve). The wheels are a little delicate but overall pretty stable. My favorite build I've done in a long-while. Decals by Roaglaan

Photo taken by Bunny Dever, Hot Springs, Arkansas, in 1967

Two emergency ambulance attendants from the Gross Mortuary, 1017 Central Avenue, Hot Springs, Arkansas, hurry a critically injured man into an awaiting 1966 white Pontiac Consort ambulance in Hot Springs in 1967.

In the days before paramedics, backboards, and splinting, the goal of good ambulance service back then was hurry to the scene and quickly "load and go."

Even at that, Gross Mortuary operated an excellent 24 / 7 ambulance service, giving prompt, careful care to thousands of Hot Springs residents from 1909 to July 31, 1974 when it ended its ambulance service.

This accident occurred on East Grand Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The injured man's young son later died in nearby Quachita Hospital (now closed). This compelling action (copyrighted) picture was taken by Bill (Bunny) Dever of Hot Springs, a skilled commercial police photographer and a good friend of mine for many years. His great pictures give a glympse of funeral home-operated ambulance services in the 1960s - 1970s.

The ambulance pictured above was a Pontiac Consort ambulance made by Superior. A Consort ambulance had no dividing wall between and driver and the rear patient area. The ambulance was actually designed to hold three patients on stretchers! Two stretchers (one a wheeled stretcher and the other a folding cot) could fit easily side by side on the ambulance floor, and a third folding stretcher could be suspended from the ceiling.

It had a (very loud) Federal Q2 siren, four alternating red bullet lights on the four roof corners, and a giant red beaconray in the center of the roof.

This ambulance, known as "Gross 6," served Hot Springs faithfully from 1966 to 1970 when it was replaced by a bright yellow Superior Van ambulance. Gross Mortuary ended ambulance service July 31, 1974.

Note that the two attendants are lifting the stretcher into the ambulance -- now days, paramedics use so-called one-man stretchers which fold up into the ambulance without having to be lifted, sissies.

Another load of gold bearing ore being transported from A1 mine between Gaffneys Creek and Woods Point, to their processing plant at Maldon, Victoria. 15 loads each day are shipped to Maldon. The processing plant at A1 was closed down due to environmental concerns, The company A1 Consolidated Gold then purchased the mine and plant at Maldon so they were able to stay in production, 750k round trip. This image was taken on the Mansfield-Woods Point Road at Kevington, Victoria, Australia.

66 620 draws its train through the loading bunker at Tunstead Quarry with empties from Tunstead Bottom End Yard, which will load with limestone rocks to form 6H22 the 11.08 to Hindlow Quarry. Beside 66620 is the Industrial Shunter from the previous image. The train is running late at this point due to loaded difficulties at the beginning, resulting on one cab being covered in limestone sludge, images of the cab will follow.

This was a great location with a view over the vast Tunstead Quarry.
