This started as a low-light telephoto shot of a ship at twilight. It is actually the moon in the sky. You know, it just doesn't matter. Hope you like it.
Quirky Cat Leo is guarding the shipment of cat food that I just got in, as soon as it came in he had too claim it as his, at some point maybe I will be able to unpack it, but I am sure he will help, shot in North Carolina.
Having taken over cement shipments to Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów from CTL, Cargoway had tonly one locomotive at their disposal - SM42-387 - which was tasked with all the transports. The first train to the cement facility was comprised out of 10 loaded wagons, which turned out to be too much for the locomotive. Since then, the company splits loaded 40 wagon long trains into 8 parts and delivers the cement to the storage area in an almost wagon by wagon fashion.
The 2nd part of the train for this day was TMS 554034 Gdynia Port GT 1-33 - Gdańsk Osowa Grupa Ożarów and I photographed it on one of the many switchback curves in the forests of the Kacze Łęgi nature reserve. The train had left Gdynia Główna many minutes before and it could be heard rumbling all the way since then, the next station on the route was Gdynia Wielki Kack, and then Gdańsk Osowa.

CSX G655 crosses the James River, leaving in Richmond, VA, with a 12K ton shipment of feed corn for Warsaw, NC.
Beaten up Class M62 loco of MÁV-START with race number 210 roaring near Pörböly with a loaded Baja - Dombóvár scrap-iron train.
The 300 meters long ~1500-ton train reaches Dombóvár via the scenic railway line twisting between the hills of Tolna and Baranya counties.
Most of these scrap shipments are heading to Italy and Slovenia. From Dombóvár an electric locomotive takes over towards Gyékényes, the Croatian border station.
A still from my video art, 'The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo' vimeo.com/tizzycanucci/safeshipment
It combines Second Life art with archive film - collage or montage!
The exhibition of art in containers is by ꓟarina ꓟunter and will be at The ꓖ.B.T.H. Project until September 2020. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/the%20GBTH%20project/52/22...
Outgoing Cargo! is an archive film made in the 1950s for the National Association of Manufacturers in the United States. It promoted American capitalism, and introduced the viewer to ‘a steel container called a cargo van’, as a new innovation for shipping.
A whole case.
The cookie is smaller, the box is smaller, the price is higher.
So... I ordered a case. Half for immediate consumption. The other half is crushed to use for ice cream topping!
My machinima/ video art, The Safe Shipment of Small Cargo, has been selected by the New Media Film Festival, in the Mixed Reality category. The festival is based in Los Angeles, showing in Event 3 – Screenings [online], 2 June 2021, 8.30-10.3pm PDT (3 June 2021, 4.30-6.30am BST).
Crossing the Chetek River, the southbound Wisconsin Northern train with one car is headed to the first Sand plant where they will tie down. Not much happening on the Railroad with the huge drop in sand shipments. There are 100s of sand cars stored on the property.
With the slower operations, I was lucky to get this train even in very high sun. The engineer was kind enough to throttle up when he saw me to create a little smoke, The green and white Wisconsin Northern engines are evidently assigned to switching jobs and weren't operating today.
Some 31 years since they debuted on hotshots over Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe's fabled Chicago–Los Angeles mainline, GP60M 123/GP60B 329/GP60B 339/GP60M 104/GP60M 108 find themselves working at a slower pace on BNSF Train M-CHWSPO1-09 (Manifest, Chewelah, Wash.–Spokane, Wash.) passing through Clayton, Wash. But make no mistake: The "Chewie Turn" ain't no retirement gig.
The GP60s offer precisely what's needed for BNSF Railway's Kettle Falls Subdivision running north out of Spokane: B-B trucks to comply with the subdivision's restriction on six-axle locomotives and 3,800 horsepower per locomotive to haul heavy lumber and sand shipments over the greater than 1-percent grades of the 56-mile route.

--BREAKING NEWS--
The Russian government has been completely sealed off from the outside world. New Regime officials have not made any comment on the situation, any ex-government offic.. excuse me.. I’m getting new information as we speak. Ok. We are receiving headcam footage of a raid right now. If you have any children nearby please do not allow them to watch this. Viewer discretion is advised. Stand by… U.S. led, NATO forces are in what appears to be a shipyard, some sort of operation is underway, we are still receiving information on the raid. This is a live feed from Poreč, Croatia. NATO troops are attempting to secure a landing ground for an armored division. Again, this is a live feed of a U.S. led, NATO raid on a shipyard in the port city of Poreč, Croatia. We advise that children are not allowed to watch this footage. Viewer discretion is advised.
[Soldiers are seen stacking up against the side of a house preparing to turn the corner. *multiple gunshots come through the feed before the audio is killed* Two Russian soldiers come into view, both bodies are sprawled out on the ground. A squad of NATO troops secures the building and prepares to move on. Seconds later the feed cuts out.]
We just witnessed a live raid on a Russian controlled port city. NATO troops will be able to sweep across the region once they control the port, it’s their ticket into the eastern part of Europe.
The second build in my little story. Please enjoy the build and the shotty story! I'd love to hear any feedback you have down in the comments. Thanks for stopping by!

I have a mantra I dust off once in a while when I'm on the margins of a photography trip. It goes, "I'm here, the train is here, and I have a camera". Sounds a little basic but it's for times when I've exhausted what I deemed to be the peak scenery, peak lighting, peak subject matter, and am struggling with the motivation to keep shooting.
That was pretty much the case here. I'd struck out on the Iowa Northern all day, I didn't intercept the LMN17 until sunset, and I was several hours from home. Yet still, LMN17 was quite quick with their work at Manly, getting back on the move before it was fully dark. I turned to the above mantra and kept shooting. It served me well. I knew from shooting the blue hour at home that the a6700 could deliver a nice result if the elements came together. So it was that I set up along this open field just south of Kensett and shot a series of pan shots as the handsome Geeps sped north. It may be the best shot I took all day. November 11, 2024.

A baggage cart is loaded and ready for the next train to stop and make a pickup at the former Western Maryland Railway depot in New Oxford, PA. Sadly, the last scheduled passenger train to stop was in 1942. The Hanover Subdivision has been freight only since then and is likely to remain that way. August 31, 2025. Ilford Pan F+ (Xtol stock), Rolleicord III.
I caught this bee at the sunset with what was most likely its last pollen shipment of the day!

The dog watching the workers caught my eye. I have no idea what's in those bags... I retrospect maybe if I lowered the camera to the dog's level it would have given this photo a very interesting perspective....
Mark, the Cuban Treefrog (Osteopilus septentrionalis) changes colors, not typically to blend into an environment, but based on temperature and mood. This is similar to chameleons, who often communicate with one another through their flashy displays. Interestingly, the treefrog's skin is fused to his skull, an adaptation that minimizes water loss. Also, so invasive is this species that if you get caught selling one in Hawaii (where the these frogs have colonized Oahu), you could wind up in jail and paying fines of up to $25,000!
Mark lives in captivity after being rescued from what would have been an ill-fated trip stowing away on a greenhouse shipment.
The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity "Lake Worth Country." These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the "Cocoanut House", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth.
On November 5, 1894, 78 people met at the "Calaboose" (the first jail and police station located at Clematis St. and Poinsettia, now Dixie Hwy.) and passed the motion to incorporate the Town of West Palm Beach in what was then Dade County (now Miami-Dade County). This made West Palm Beach the first incorporated municipality in Dade County and in South Florida. The town council quickly addressed the building codes and the tents and shanties were replaced by brick, brick veneer, and stone buildings. The city grew steadily during the 1890s and the first two decades of the 20th century, most residents were engaged in the tourist industry and related services or winter vegetable market and tropical fruit trade. In 1909, Palm Beach County was formed by the Florida State Legislature and West Palm Beach became the county seat. In 1916, a new neo-classical courthouse was opened, which has been painstakingly restored back to its original condition, and is now used as the local history museum.
The city grew rapidly in the 1920s as part of the Florida land boom. The population of West Palm Beach quadrupled from 1920 to 1927, and all kinds of businesses and public services grew along with it. Many of the city's landmark structures and preserved neighborhoods were constructed during this period. Originally, Flagler intended for his Florida East Coast Railway to have its terminus in West Palm, but after the area experienced a deep freeze, he chose to extend the railroad to Miami instead.
The land boom was already faltering when city was devastated by the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane. The Depression years of the 1930s were a quiet time for the area, which saw slight population growth and property values lower than during the 1920s. The city only recovered with the onset of World War II, which saw the construction of Palm Beach Air Force Base, which brought thousands of military personnel to the city. The base was vital to the allied war effort, as it provided an excellent training facility and had unparalleled access to North Africa for a North American city. Also during World War II, German U-Boats sank dozens of merchant ships and oil tankers just off the coast of West Palm Beach. Nearby Palm Beach was under black out conditions to minimize night visibility to German U-boats.
The 1950s saw another boom in population, partly due to the return of many soldiers and airmen who had served in the vicinity during the war. Also, the advent of air conditioning encouraged growth, as year-round living in a tropical climate became more acceptable to northerners. West Palm Beach became the one of the nation's fastest growing metropolitan areas during the 1950s; the city's borders spread west of Military Trail and south to Lake Clarke Shores. However, many of the city's residents still lived within a narrow six-block wide strip from the south to north end. The neighborhoods were strictly segregated between White and African-American populations, a legacy that the city still struggles with today. The primary shopping district remained downtown, centered around Clematis Street.
In the 1960s, Palm Beach County's first enclosed shopping mall, the Palm Beach Mall, and an indoor arena were completed. These projects led to a brief revival for the city, but in the 1970s and 1980s crime continued to be a serious issue and suburban sprawl continued to drain resources and business away from the old downtown area. By the early 1990s there were very high vacancy rates downtown, and serious levels of urban blight.
Since the 1990s, developments such as CityPlace and the preservation and renovation of 1920s architecture in the nightlife hub of Clematis Street have seen a downtown resurgence in the entertainment and shopping district. The city has also placed emphasis on neighborhood development and revitalization, in historic districts such as Northwood, Flamingo Park, and El Cid. Some neighborhoods still struggle with blight and crime, as well as lowered property values caused by the Great Recession, which hit the region particularly hard. Since the recovery, multiple new developments have been completed. The Palm Beach Mall, located at the Interstate 95/Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard interchange became abandoned as downtown revitalized - the very mall that initiated the original abandonment of the downtown. The mall was then redeveloped into the Palm Beach Fashion Outlets in February 2014. A station for All Aboard Florida, a high-speed passenger rail service serving Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and Orlando, is under construction as of July 2015.

After coal shipments from Wyoming's Powder River Basin began to explode in the late 70s and beyond, the former CB&Q line through Crawford, Nebraska picked up an enormous amount of traffic. Although one would think of Nebraska as flat, the grade from Crawford to Bellmont was a sustained grade that included a horseshoe curve. Railfan photographers started to show up on a line that was a sleepy secondary route before, and eventually that included me. Three pusher sets of SD40-2s and a fuel tender (a tank car with diesel fuel, tied into the locomotive fuel tanks) were stationed at Crawford to shove trains over the hill. On June 28, 1988, I stepped foot in Crawford for the first time in my life, only to see the classic "Q" depot was soon going to be razed. Looking through an open window I spied this chalk board (no longer used) used to keep track of the units and fuel tenders. One photo captured a bit of nostalgia before it was gone.
The rear of the Steele Briggs building at 139 Market Avenue.
The warehouse, built in 1912, was the regional headquarters of the Steele Briggs Company, a Toronto based package seed retailer founded in 1873.
The Winnipeg store on Market served as a warehouse and shipping headquarters made easy as the back-lane (this photo) was a spur line of the Winnipeg Transfer Railway giving access the the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National downtown rail yards.
The Toronto warehouse received the first ever shipment of wheat from the Province of Manitoba in 1876.
The building was designed by Winnipeg architect Cyril W.C. Chivers.
The building is a 2019 municipally-designated historic building.
The building is part of the Exchange District National Historic Site building stock.

Adult female Neotropical Green Anole (Anolis biporcatus). This animal was a stowaway and found in a plant shipment from Central America. Though far away from home and a bit battered and bruised, she ended up in an anole collection of a very passionate reptile keeper in the Netherlands.
The cars were built at the direction of legendary Southern Railway President D. W. Brosnan. Built by Magor Car Co., the first cars arrived in 1960 and were nicknamed “Big John” after a popular country music song of the era. Made of lightweight aluminum with a carrying capacity of 97 tons, the cars featured four compartments so that multiple types of grain could be shipped in the same car. An additional order, with a 100-ton capacity, arrived in 1961-1962.
The cars were nearly double the size of the largest covered hoppers in regular use, which allowed the Southern to slash its rates for grain shipments from $10.50 per ton to as little as $3.97. Not only was this much cheaper than their old rail rates, it was also cheaper than truck or barge rates. Competitors soon filed injunctions with the ICC against the Southern’s lower “unfair” rates, and included most other railroads, particularly Southern’s competitors in Southeast markets.
I've always wanted to use the bike frame piece in a different way, and I've finally used it as the frame for this drone.
It's hard to get a good look at the hovercraft, it looks a little more detailed than in the photo, particularly at the rear. The pilot compartment can be swapped out for the cargo box.

A familiar livery, but perhaps not the most familiar location for this January 1999 view of Citybus Dennis Trident 2231 (as it was to become), the last of this batch of 30 coach-seated examples with Duple-Metsec DM5000 body kits assembled by East Lancs during 1998. Seen at the Philips Road premises prior to shipment to Hong Kong, this bus ran for just a few weeks shy of the regulation 18 years franchised service life.
