"Constructed in 1912, the 150-ton ore concentration mill with its massive post and beam construction is an unusual example of a prefabricated industrial building. Its pieces were pre-cut, pre-fit, and coded with numbers and letters before being shipped to the site for assembly."

Così, per caso, girando in cerca di ispirazione ci si può imbattere in uno dei monumeti all'abbandono italiano.
The original mill on this site was built in 1852 and was destroyed in 1868. It was rebuilt by Thomas McConnell in 1875 who replaced the waterwheel with water turbines This made McConnell's Mill one of the first rolling mills in the country. The mill was closed in 1928.
McConnells Mill State Park is 2,546 acres, in Lawrence County PA, Slippery Rock Township, and is one of the most beautiful parks to visit, so long as you can endure the hiking up, down or through the deep gorge that encompassed it.

On her first day in new madder and white here's 746 at Balerno terminus and note the Mobitech number digits (44) on the destination screen. Lothian's first Gemini B7's were from fleet number 701 and the first 45 (701 to 745) have Hanover screens - that's separate digit tracks for each of the roller blind service numbers. From 746 all numbers within this screen are on one track - so the effect is that the numbers are placed more narrowly together.

I got up early today and drove to Lewiston, ME expecting to photograph hot air balloons but that never happened as rain was expected. Very briefly the sun shown through some clouds and this is the result. There are several large mills in Lewiston that have not been occupied since the 1950's or so. The one here has been repurposed to be used for businesses. The out of place apartment building was built about 20 years ago I was told by a former resident.
Mabry Mill
Blue Ridge Parkway, VA
From my 2010 archives.
Mabry Mill is my favorite Grist Mill and one of the most photographed places on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The mill was operated by E.B. Mabry from 1910 - 1935. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then a sawmill and then in 1905 a grist mill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed. If you would like to visit Mabry Mill, it is located at mile marker 176.2.
Logan Mills Covered Bridge is the last historic bridge that is still standing in the county. Built in 1874 by an unknown builder, Logan Mills Covered Bridge was, as so many other covered bridges in the state are, named after a local mill.
The Old Mill in the historic town of Barton Upon Humber. Situated off the market place The Old Mill was built in 1803 and originally used to grind chalk and barley. After it ceased production in 1950 the building stood derelict until its conversion to a Public House in 1990.
During the reconstruction, an early Saxon burial ground was unearthed. 106 skeletons and various objects including swords and jewellery were found, of which some are now to be found in the nearby Baysgarth Museum
Sunday morning dawned clear and dry so after a great Cuban breakfast I checked out the shop then drove down south of town for some morning shots of the east side of the Clewiston Mill, the beating heart of US Sugar Corporation and it's truly impressive rail operation. I hiked down from Davidson Road east of tracks along the levee a half mile or so where I could look west at Sugar Junction and the mill yard.
This 500mm telephoto view captures three crews working, the pair of switchers are USSC crews while the geep in the middle has an SCFE crew on board. This yard is the only place where the non common carrier arm and the common carrier railroad interact and share trackage and otherwise they are entirely separate operations though both wholy owned by US Sugar and sharing locomotives back and forth.
From left to right we see:
USSC 203 an EMD MP15T blt. Oct. 1984 as Seaboard System 1214, which wore its same number on CSXT before coming here sometime after 2015.
USSC 3804 a GP38-2 that was built new in Oct. 1974 for the San Manuel Arizona Railroad as SMA 17
USSC 202 an EMD SW1500 blt. Jul. 1972 as Southern Pacific 2677, which became UPY122 after the merger before coming here around 2001.
Sharp eyes will note the Milepost 0.0 to the right of the covered hopper denoting the start of the more than 60 mile long private cane haulage mainline.
Today US Sugar farms 215,000 acres, which for perspective is equal to one third of my entire home state of Rhode Island! The first Sugar House was built in 1929 by Southern Sugar. When that company failed Charles Stewart Mott bought it in 1931 and United States Sugar was born. That first mill could process 1,500 tons of sugarcane a day and this one nearly a century later can process up to 42,000 tons per day, all of which arrives by rail (just not on this day)! This mill is claimed to be the world’s largest vertically integrated sugarcane milling and refining facility that can ultimately produce 800,000 tons of refined sugar per year.

And to see a map of the property and learn more check out the page for their steam excursion operation:
But if you are truly interested in learning all you can pick up Barton Jennings' phenomenonal book:
'The Railroads of U.S. Sugar: History Through the Miles' which I HIGHLY recommend.

Oh, when this sunny day happens after a period of pure meteorological sadness and you haven't taken a picture for DAYS ;-)
So I just happened to look up watermills in my area and randomly chose the cedar creek grist mill to check out.
I guess I left a bit late considering the sun was just about to disappear behind the ridge. As you can see by the shadow in the bottom, the sun was about to be gone when I got this shot.

Langstone Mill built in 1730 and in use as a mill untill WW1 it was originally used together with the adjacent tide mill. The top and the sail have now been removed and it has been converted to residential use.
Once upon a time at Mannington Mills (Salem, New Jersey)
The Southern Railway Company of New Jersey had the F7A 727 on the point of the freight to Swedesboro. Prior to chaising the train I spent the time with engineer John Rieck and his trainee conductor on the GP9 100, spotting and picking up cars at Anchor Glass.
The 728 parked in the stub track was unserviceable. Both F-Units were of Bessemer & Lake Erie heritage.
