Sid Smith (born Brooklyn, New York, 1968) is an American artist.
“My intent in creating is to have poetic expression through the physicality of painting and my sculpture. I am very much into the process of building a painting, and lose myself in the creation of my paintings. If pressed for an explanation of why I did a certain piece a certain way I would have to say I was compelled to make it that way. Colour is an integral part of my work and I consider
carefully my combinations and placement, finding inspiration in memories of things I have seen, and mood. Each piece begins as blocks and marks of colour with no concrete direction other than letting my brush and knife and colour find the canvas as they evolve along the way. I may add words, numbers, geometries and paint over them, rework them again, sand and carve through
layers to excavate them to the surface again. I try to bring my memories, emotions and desires into a physical state on the canvas and hope that some of this is conveyed through my craft to the viewer. Bringing to my work those things that we carry with us and memories of what we have left behind. Ultimately my work comes into being for my love of creating and released so that
I may keep evolving and honing my way of creating these pictures.”

"Tamping machine, Barretstown, Co. Kilkenny"
Granted it required a Google search to find even the basics of what a "tamper" does, but am still none-the-wiser as to the purpose of the device that seems to be preceding the engine down the track. Any ideas? And, if our usual "shadow" experts can identify a time of day, perhaps we can establish if that worker's off home for lunch - or his tea...
We are going with Niall McAuley on this one, he suggests Barretstown, Co.Kildare (just outside Newbridge) this suggestion is backed fully by Dr O Mac .
Dr Owen also tells us that the machine is an early 1960's Plasser & Theurer VKR 05-E tamper DX74108. Apparently the tamping tines should vibrate with the ideal frequency of exactly 35 Hz. This directional, linear vibration combined with the non-synchronous tine movement produces a homogeneously compacted ballast bed.

Firing up the wayback machine tonight thanks to some scans by Trainboy. Searching through my archives of notes, I find that Brian Carlson and I made a trip to his folks in Altamont in September 1997 when we were both students in Champaign. We made side trips to Effingham, Centralia and Terre Haute over that weekend. Good times!
NS 4628 East was train 111. The track I'm standing on was the former Mike & Ike (Missouri & Illinois) - former MP subsidiary that UP kept a large piece of. I believe this Centralia trackage was used by BN to serve a couple of local industries.
Fast forward 19 years and I live about an hour from this spot. 111 still runs and in roughly the same evening time slot. The Mike & Ike is abandoned in Centralia but still exists in this street crossing. Don't even ask about that IC signal or the cool lashup on 111. ETTS.
