The Union Railroad's morning slab train, 076 is grinding up their double track mainline about to pass under Bettis Road and duck into the Dravosburg Tunnel just as the morning sun breaks over the hills. Four bought new MP15DCs, numbers 12, 21, and 11 lead the train heading from the Edgar Thompson Works to the Ervin Works all part of US Steels integrated Mon Valley Works of which their Union Railroad subsidiary is a key link.

in the church Saint-André in Le Bec-Hellouin. And nobody seems to know who this is. It's a bishop that's for sure. So I need help on identification again. ;) I wonder if this is a part of the "tomb of the bearded men" (15th century).
A train of slab empties rolls into Wilmington with the massive port and refinery complexes towering overhead in the background. These steel slabs come from the Pasha facility in Long Beach and go to the California Steel complex in Fontana, making this a fairly short-haul move.
Op dinsdag 30 april zijn SNCF FRET 427065 en 427015 onderweg met de werkdagelijkse staaltrein 72189 vanuit Dunkerque-Grande-Synthe naar Ebange (ArcelorMittal). Dit soort treinen met staalproducten als staalplakken (slabs) en staalrollen van west naar oost zijn erg kenmerkend voor de L’artère Nord-Est. In tegenovergestelde richting gaan juist veel beladen treinen met ruwe grondstoffen als Kolen en ijzererts. Deze lijn verbind de industrie van Calais met die van Thionville. Ter hoogte van station Avesnes kon het geheel vastgelegd worden, rechts is het voormalige emplacement te zien. Bijna elk station aan deze lijn heeft zo een emplacement welke inmiddels bijna allemaal buiten gebruik zijn.
On the 3rd March 2025, GBRF took over the movement of imported steel slab from Portbury Docks to Margam. Previously, the flow had been in the hands of DB. The new arrangements sees GBRF using converted KEA wagons.

On my way from work I saw this bench made out of three slabs of concrete. The light made it glow a bit so I snapped this one.

Hmmm it's so hot the slabs are exploding in the Grassmarket.

Exploding Grassmarket slabs just couldn't stand the heat
Date: 11 June 2009
By MARK McLAUGHLIN
IT has taken almost a month of investigation by engineers but the mystery of the exploding Grassmarket pavement has finally been solved – it couldn't stand the heat.
Two slabs newly laid as part of the multi-million-pound revamp of the area cracked last month, with everything from a gas blast to an electrical fault being blamed.
Now experts have ruled that "thermal expansion", in the sweltering May heat of 16
was to blame for the Caithness slabs breaking.
They are confident, however, the problem was caused by a fault in two particular slabs and that the piazza should survive the summer unscathed.
City centre councillor Joanna Mowat said: "My sources tell me that it wasn't a mythological creature or some such thing that caused it. The answer was firmly in the realms of engineering.
"The council got an expert to look at it and he found that it wasn't an explosion underneath, but that it was due to thermal expansion.
"The heat causes the slabs to expand and the reason these two slabs had come up was because they were slightly flawed.
"I did initially find it hard to believe that this expansion could just affect two slabs, but I was assured that they were faulty.
"My immediate concern was that we were going to have stones erupting throughout the Grassmarket, but the project manager who assigned the expert to look at the slabs said it was isolated to these two stones."
A city council spokesman said that no other slabs in the area appeared to be affected.
He said: "(Engineers] did identify that there was something wrong with the thickness of the slabs. As you would expect, these slabs come under the influence of external forces, and as long as all of the slabs are of an even depth and width they can bear it, but if the slab is faulty and can't absorb that level of force it will 'pop'.
"They have identified these particular slabs as the only ones that are faulty.
"The contractors have accepted the liability for this and are making the necessary repairs at no extra cost to the council."
He added: "The contractor is currently on site carrying out the necessary remedial work. The area will reopen on Friday."
The area had been fenced off for the last month, to the annoyance of local traders who hoped that the workmen had gone for good when the £5 million revamp was completed in December.
Susie Christie, manager of Costume Ha Ha, whose shop stands close to where the slabs erupted, said the constant work has affected her trade.
She said: "Our recent footfall figures show that we were 40 per cent down last month, compared to the same period the year before.
"It's not been helped by the fact that there is currently refurbishment working going on in the building above us, and we're obscured by scaffolding.
"The work on the Grassmarket just seems never ending."

Who knows how long this slab of rock has been resting there? Judging by the moss on it, it's been a long, long time. It would have been something to see it fall from the overhanging cliff face.

This slab of granite has a bit of a reputation in the UK. It's about 45 metres long, looks to be roughly 45 degrees pitch and as you can see is covered in pine needles. The hardest part of riding this feature is getting going. Gee had a couple of false starts, shouted at himself for being afraid and then went. Once the front wheel is over the edge, you are committed, no going back, no escape.At the bottom, the heart is pounding and, adrenaline is flowiing, and it's huge grins for miles afterwards.
