Punjab State in India is known as the 'The Granery of India' or 'The Bread Basket of India' as the region is used for extensive wheat farming. Bagged wheat for shipment to one of the strategic national stores is moved by rail and the task of transferring the produce is very manual. Recorded at Malerkotla, individual bags were being moved from one of the numerous road trucks to the BCNA type railway wagons [vans].
Working in temperatures in the upper 30sC, it takes approximately 200 men, working in teams of six just over 8 hours to load a standard length train of 52 vans, the sacks being stacked to the roof.

buckling under the morning load of gricers, and the first electrification mast stands victoriously at the end of Platforms 6 and 7; Summer '76.
After arriving at SRI the 765 takes on a fresh load of coal that will take the crews well into the night before finally being able to rest for a few days before the event. This was the beginning of a amazing week but a very long and sleepless week.
This is a boat loader erected in 1922 in Lessines (Belgium) and used until 1984 when it was permanently shut down. It was used to load porphyry in ships. The porphyry crushes, transported by railcars from the Lessines quarry sites using a private railway, reached the structure on a conveyor belt and were taken to silos for sorting. They were then dumped directly into the holds of the barges, moored to the side of the building.
The 8 silos had a capacity of 35 tonnes each. Their size made it possible to prepare crushed mixtures of several dimensions. This system made it possible to load eight boats per day, where it had previously taken eight men and no less than seven hours to fill, with the wheelbarrow, a single barge of 280 tons.
Going for an easy lo tonight. I used a template and pretty much just plunked everything in. While I am totally excited about all I (we've) accomplished I have never done this much scrapping and thinking of scrapping before and I am tired! (But hooked for sure -I'll be back in May!!)
Template was a freebie by Kelly Mize over at Designer Digitals. The paper is by Michelle Martin at Designer Digitals, Just Linen No. 7 pack.
Slightly off prompt but I've chosen a picture of Grand Central Station in NYC which I'm sure was very innovative at the time it was built. I also used my brand new Scraptastic kit.
October 2016 Hurricane Matthew: I treasured Haiti, the vibrancy of its streets and its people, and how the country was working to recover from its previous catastophe, the earthquake of 2010. I now feel for them at this time. If you are going to use any of my images on your blogs, reports, publications etc. please consider giving a donation to help the country and its people. My preferred charity is Medicins Sans Frontieres / Doctors Without Borders: www.msf.org.uk or www.msf.ch or other national sites
Well Alice, you asked for a family tree - and boy have you got one! LOL This is the first five generations above me. I love tracing my family tree - not so much for the numbers and how far I can go back (though FYI I have over 2000 on there going back to 1537), I love figuring out their stories. I have blogged some of them here: lookingbackhf.blogspot.co.uk/ Recently I have spent a lot of my time chronicling my gt gt grandfather's life, he has a real rags to riches story (sadly the riches didn't last much beyond him!). Thanks for reading this far!!!
Layout inspired by Stephanie Ackerman's layout "today is happily" (http://homegrownhospitality.typepad.com/). I loved hearing her interview today and learning all about her. I used the last of my Jenni Bowlin chipboard buttons and DCWV La Creme Stack paper. Photo was taken by Rick Sheridan (http://www.lamsweddings.com)
A bunch of local log truckers got together to do a charity run for a dying friend. The best part was that Toad got to drive his truck in to town-at the head of the 28 truck convoy!
I'm proud to say that I was a part of it. With the donations from the loads, a free will offering afterwards and a charity auction we raised $28 000 for his family!
Yesterday (17/7/12) Greater Manchester Police and Cheshire Constabulary escorted one of the largest abnormal loads to be moved on the region’s roads for many years.
The load, an electricity transformer, was being moved from Ellesmere Port to Rochdale on a specialist vehicle. The total weight of the vehicle and load was almost 450 tonnes.
Cheshire Constabulary escorted the vehicle to the Force border where Greater Manchester Police took over the duty.
The two forces, local authorities, Network Rail, and the Highways Agency were involved in detailed planning of the operation to ensure that the vehicle reached its destination safely and caused as little disruption to normal traffic as possible.
The Greater Manchester leg of the journey began at 8pm and concluded in the early hours of the morning.
Compare with this image of a 1950s abnormal load escort from the archives of our Force Museum.

The train from Bradys Bend to Queen Junction had a pair of Fs on each end to facilitate switching the loaders. After going to work at Kaylor the crews ran east to Bradys Bend to work the loaders there.
A look at blasting during the 10-hour closure on Highway 4 on March 23, 2021. It was one of the most complex blasts on the project.
i scraplifted this idea from a page on 2peas. Pretty simple, just used a bunch of the MME bits. Hard to make my page today....zillion things to do and superbowl watchin...cant scrap during commercials, thats the best part.
Cartridges dropped into chambers of a double rifle make the most satisfying "clunk" sound! I grew up watching Stewart Granger as an African professional hunter, and to be able to load a rifle like the one he carried was just too cool!
Pacific National loading wheat at Yarrawonga, Victoria.
Later in the evening XR557 & BL26 will set off for Inverleigh near Geelong.

The ramp can be seen in the centre with the cars parked on it. Behind the gates was a single line which was electrified, as it was used by the Electric locos waiting a turn of duty. But the ramp's purpose was the loading of cattle and other goods.
The people in the passage are heading for the stairs and lift to the Wicker. The building on the left is the Royal Victoria Hotel.
When the station was closed, the loading ramp was the only way on to the station itself.
