Zaanse Schans – skansen wiatraków, znajduje się w Zaandam, obok Zaandijk, administracyjnie należy do Zaanstad w Holandii, w prowincji Holandia Północna. Zachowała się tu kolekcja starych wiatraków i domów. Zaanse Schans jest jedną z najbardziej popularnych atrakcji turystycznych w Holandii.
Wiatraki nad rzeką Zaan zaczęto budować około roku 1600. Początkowo służyły do osuszania terenu, później zaczęto je budować również do celów produkcyjnych. Przerabiały pszenicę, jęczmień, owies, ryż, papier, drzewo, olej jadalny, gorczycę, tytoń, konopie oraz wiele innych przywożonych z zamorskich krajów surowców. W końcu XVIII wieku było ich prawie tysiąc. Po roku 1850 wkroczyły do Holandii maszyny parowe i przejęły pracę wiatraków. Większość z nich w krótkim czasie została zlikwidowana. Dziś pozostało z nich tylko trzynaście. (wiki)

Zaanse Schans is a neighbourhood of Zaandam, near Zaandijk, Netherlands. It is best known for its collection of windmills and wooden houses that were relocated here from the wider region north of Amsterdam for preservation. From 1961 to 1974, old buildings from all over the region known as the Zaanstreek were relocated using lowboy trailers to the Zaanse Schans. Two of the windmills in the Zaanse Schans are preserved in their original site where they were first constructed, and therefore don't make up part of the relocated structures. The Zaans Museum, established in 1994, near the first Zaanse Schans windmill, is located south of the neighbourhood. This architectural reserve for Zaanse timber construction is a protected village scene because of its architectural-historical and landscape value.
Zaanse Schans est un quartier de Zaandam, près de Zaandijk, aux Pays-Bas. Il est surtout connu pour sa collection de moulins à vent et de maisons en bois qui ont été déplacés ici depuis la région plus large au nord d'Amsterdam pour être préservés. De 1961 à 1974, d'anciens bâtiments de toute la région connus sous le nom de Zaanstreek ont été déplacés à l'aide de remorques surbaissées vers le Zaanse Schans. Deux des moulins à vent du Zaanse Schans sont conservés sur leur site d'origine où ils ont été construits pour la première fois et ne font donc pas partie des structures déplacées. Le musée Zaans, créé en 1994, près du premier moulin à vent de Zaanse Schans, est situé au sud du quartier. Cette réserve architecturale pour la construction en bois de Zaanse est une scène de village protégée en raison de sa valeur architecturale, historique et paysagère.

The mallard (/ˈmælɑːrd, ˈmælərd/) or wild duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is a dabbling duck that breeds throughout the temperate and subtropical Americas, Eurasia, and North Africa. It has been introduced to New Zealand, Australia, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, the Falkland Islands, and South Africa. Belonging to the subfamily Anatinae of the waterfowl family Anatidae, mallards live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are social animals preferring to congregate in groups or flocks of varying sizes.”

A little less than a month ago, it was moving day for the Apache Railway's RS36 #800. The unit was donated to the Navajo County Historical Society last year and they worked to have it painted into the as delivered paint scheme that it arrived in back in September 1962. The Society worked with Southwest Industrial Rigging to perform the heavy lift, and it went very well throughout the process.
It was a great opportunity for me to witness the crews work to prep and then fly the 800 off its trucks and onto a lowboy for the short move to the display site. The 160-ton crane moved the gutted shell of the locomotive with ease and precision onto the trailer. After it was blocked up and secured for movement, the trucks went onto another trailer. Each truck weighed 26 tons per one of the crew members, but I didn't get the weight of the 800 unfortunately.
More pictures of the move coming over the next few days.
Well, here's something you don't see everyday....a brand new Fairbanks Morse diesel engine, under a shiny white plastic wrapper, being shipped out on a heavy duty eight axel center well flatcar. Even though Fairbanks Morse stopped making diesel locomotives years ago, their original customers for diesels; ship builders; still use them to make the floaty things go.
Though I should mention that the very first ever Fairbanks Morse diesel engine was used as a stationary power plant for electric power generation, something they still build diesels for today, including diesels designed to burn natural gas.
There were four of these cars all together in the yard, but this one was the only one in clear view to be photographed. The Fairbanks Morse factory is just a few miles south of Janesville in Beloit.
***UPDATE***
Found out that the load is a MAN 48/60 CR six cylinder diesel engine weighing 106 tons, and producing 7200 kW at 500 rpm. This was one of four, all coupled together in the yard.
From what I understand, the engines are all destined for use in the U.S Navy's new ESD / ESB ships, being built by NASSCO in San Diego, CA.
ESD = Expeditionary Transfer Dock
ESB = Expeditionary Mobile Base
They were formerly known as MLP's = Mobile Landing Platforms.
"The MLP ships will be powered by twin-screw, diesel-electric propulsion system integrating four MAN/B&W medium-speed diesel engines, 24MW diesel electric plant, and 2MW azimuthing bow thruster. The propulsion system provides a sustained speed of 15k and an endurance of more than 9,500nmi at 15k speed."

I wasn't happy with the cloud banging I took back on the 14th when the OLS unit came through, so when I saw it was leading a late SW Chief again on the 25th, away I went. On a grander scale, it was also the day that the Apache Railway RS36 #800 would be loaded onto a lowboy and moved to its new location at the Navajo County Historical Society and placed on permanent display for all to enjoy. The tip of the crane that would lift it can be seen just above the rear of the train. Those pictures are coming soon, but here is the 203 shooting east on main 1 at maximum authorized speed.

Zaanse Schans derived its name from the river Zaan and its original function as sconce (schans in Dutch) against the Spanish troops during the Eighty Years' War of Dutch independence. It is one of the popular tourist attractions of the Netherlands and an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH). The neighbourhood attracted approximately 1.6 million visitors in 2014. It is served by Zaandijk Zaanse Schans railway station, 18 minutes away from Amsterdam Centraal station.
The Zaanse Schans houses seven museums — the Weavers House, the Cooperage, the Jisper House, Zaan Time Museum, Albert Heijn Museum Shop and the Bakery Museum.

"the Loewy Coupe" or "Low Boy"
The owner stated to me that his aim of creating this street rod was to have it appear as what might be featured in custom car or hot rodding magazines of the late 1950s to early 1960s. What appears to be a finned brake drum actually conceals a modern disc brake system. What looks like an electrical generator with its characteristic black cylindrical body actually houses a modern alternator. The body is 'channeled' in that the floor can sit lower on the frame rails. The frame rails are also 'Zeed' (cutting in a mitered offset) just ahead of the firewall to allow the body to sit even lower to the ground. See my later photo posted below in the Comments area.
The grille shell is that for a 1932 Ford but shortened in height to suit so that the sight line between it and the top of the cowl appears correct relative to the stance of the vehicle. The frame seems to be that taken from a Ford Model A, with modifications as described above. The body appears to be a 1932 5-window coupé.

R.J. Corman Memphis Line job ML22 crosses Morgantown Road on the northeast side of Russellville, KY. This was the site of the fatal 1946 accident involving the southbound Memphis section of the Pan American. The accident occurred when the Memphis Pan struck a lowboy flatbed trailer carrying a steam shovel for a dam project that had gotten stuck on the crossing. The ensuing collision resulted in the deaths of the engineer and fireman. January 14, 2023.
