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.
BNSF SD40-2 1779 shoves down the wye under overpasses and around former industries after having worked customers on Harbor Island in Seattle, WA. One customer still exists in this quarter; located right around the bend here to the right is Seaport Steel receiving bulkhead shipments.
The abandoned Texas & Pacific Freight Warehouse decays on the south end of Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.
Port Glasgow has been a ship building town since 1780 when Thomas McGill opened a yard here. 18th Century shipbuilding demanded a lot of timber and Port Glasgow was a major timber importer during this time. Massive shipments of prepared and unprepared timber were received from far flung places such as Canada, Norway and the Baltic states. Vast timber holding ponds were constructed to the east of Newark Castle, stretching three miles along the coast, beyond Parklea, to Langbank. These are still very much in evidence today and can be seen from land, sea and air. They are known locally as "the stabs".
There were also timber ponds in the west end of the town, but these were removed as the shipyards expanded and no trace remains today. The map of 1864 shows the "Kingston Sawmill", "timber yard" and "timber ponds" on the site where the Kingston shipyard later stood. That area is now a housing estate, with some light industry at Ardgowan Street.
The twenty or so surviving timber ponds stretch from just west of Kelburn Park in the east end of Port Glasgow to near the A8 railway bridge at Langbank.
They are not really ponds in the traditional sense in that they do not hold water. They can be more accurately described as intertidal enclosures which are dry at low tide and flooded at high tide. The enclosures are mostly square in shape, their boundaries formed by lines of tall wooden stakes (known locally as "stabs") which are buried deep in the mud. It was within these enclosures that rafts of timber were stored.
As shipbuilding made the switch from timber to metal, the ponds fell into disuse and decline in the early part of the 20th Century.inary comment
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 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!
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.
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).

--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!

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....
Flit finishes the shipment and counts her paper, sure to keep it in a dry place.
Good timing too as it is Dylains Birthday week and she could use some spoiling.

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.
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.
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.

Hello Everyone!
I spent a lot of time taking photos on this creation, but after two weeks and no success, I am kind of burned out. Goodness, I am terrible at Lego Photography. I am sorry about the photo`s lighting problems and the glare in places. It`s not the perfect image I had in mind, but I hope you guys can still appreciate the effort put into this. Better scenes will follow.
-Chris
EDIT: Feedback is more than appreciated, tell me what to do about that lighting/photography!

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 the downtown was 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.

ILSX 1301 is ready for shipment and sitting in the CPKC Yard in Thief River Falls, Minnesota with the paperwork in the window. This is a second life for this unit that was originally Soo Line 4438, one of the many reliable GP38-2s. I have seen it here in Thief River Falls many times. When I took this photo, I had no idea where it was headed, but it now calls the Progressive Rail home in Lakeville/Rosemount, Minnesota.
