I have to love it when their Reserve Mining SD38-2 shows its face. Great ROC (required ore content).
Dahlonega, GA located in North Georgia was a center of gold mining in 1828, 20 years before the Califormia Gold Rush.
The end of an era as the last of the former Erie Mining units have left the plant. Fortunately they will find a new life on the Vermilion Valley Railroad in Illinois/Indiana.
This is a view along the MDH on the Ouray side of Red Mountain Pass.
The MDH is one of the top 4 drives I have ever done.
I was wondering what this would look like before a military company modified it for battle. So I made this. More pictures on Brickshelf (when public).
Alien or just weird mining ship ideas. The top ship grabs asteroids from above and processes them downwards. The bottom ship operates in the reverse direction.

Whilst coal mining at Fox Clough, Colne, dates back as far as the 17th century, the Engine Pit was developed in 1832 by the executors of John Hargreaves. A large pumping engine was erected in this stone building and the colliery worked the Lower Mountain and Union seams at a depth of 183 feet. The pit was abandoned in 1872 and the enginehouse has slowly deteriorated since then. It has probably survived due to its hidden and inaccessible location.
A male Andrena mining-bee in our Staffordshire garden today. There were several active. This individual was resting on a bluebell flower.
By the size, colouration and long mandibles (with lateral tooth), I suspect that this is the Tawny Mining-bee (Andrena fulva). Lovely to see them at last!
Nevadaville prospered until bout 1900 but when this area was established it was known as the Western Kansas Territory then Colorado.
This rather good picture is taken at Gospel Oak, Tipton. It shows a happy family next to their house which is sinking into the ground. The family are wearing clogs, not unusual in the late 19th century. Behind the billowing washing a newly built railway line is visible, I hope the surveyors took note of the house. In front of the house tram tracks are set into the road, by the lightness of the track and the granite setts between the rails this could be a horse tramway.
Undated.

Only in this region of the country can you see seemingly gratuitous blocks of flats in the middle of a village: Múcsony and Szuhakálló used to be home of many miners and their families.
After the fall of communism, most of the coal mines in the vicinity were shut down, leaving most people in the area without jobs and livelihood. Only the blocks of flats and the forever-rolling Ikaruses remain to remind us of the once glorious past.
GXD-417 is pacing through the village on it's remarkable Miskolc-Ragály journey. It was manufactured in 98' for Russian export, but as with many 263s from this batch, it never saw service with the Soviets due to the big ruble crisis.
The Blue Bird mining area, in the background is the bunk house and the foreground was used for the vistiors.

One of the things I miss about living in Eastern Kentucky was having the ability to find and photograph little-remarked locomotives like this GP9 at Kinney Branch Mining in Middlesboro, KY.
