The Erie Trader takes on a load of Northshore Mining taconite pellets at Silver Bay, Minnesota. Lots of the Van Enkevort fleet call on Northshore Mining for pellet loads.
Trader Joe was sitting on the wrong end of the platform but there was method to his madness. This way he could keep a watchful eye on the Blue Jays trying to get in on the action.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all know that I appreciate your comments, faves, visits and such. If I don't get to answer you all please know that I am busy either looking at your photos or with life in general.
. . Doc.
One of the best Flickr contacts you will ever have! A gentleman! After every comment, if he leaves one, he say's "thanks", because you allowed him to view your work.
How about that!? On Flickr?
I'm just off a plane. I had no intention of posting tonight - I will not view or comment, I'm going to bed - - BUT I opened Flickr, and there was his comment, on a crappy pic, and a comment as honest and as cheeky as ever, but it makes you feel glad you posted.
Another friend is having a low. I had drinks with him a while back. and went to the toilet in his local bar after a few beers. This photo was taken from it.
And I thought . . holy crap, he is not going round the best of establishments. He could not even afford to go round the normal of establishments.
I took the photo. The feet are mine, the yellow bucket seems to have been a metaphor for how I hoped his life would change; future sunshine. I helped how I could. We'll see what happens.
Back to Trader Doc. No easy lead-ins here - find him yourself, make the effort, and find a friend. He's from the school of hard knocks as most of us are, he respects no fools, but he respects everyone.
AND - he has nothing to do with this image - except, I know he is a friend when I might be down. We all need honest "trader's".
Après son remorquage, dimanche 7 décembre 2025 par le Sapeur, de la baie de Douarnenez, où il a laissé une de ses ancres, au mouillage sur un coffre en baie de Roscanvel, le vieux remorqueur World Trader a rejoint le quai ouest du cinquième bassin du port de Brest, lundi 8 décembre, vers 21 heures. Un transfert effectué dans le cadre de la procédure " port refuge ".
Ce mardi 9 décembre, les services de l'état, entre autres le centre de sécurité des navires (CSN), le commandant et son adjoint ont poursuivi les vérifications sur le navire, la sécurité de celui-ci et de son équipage étant préservés.
Les investigations ont fait apparaître un niveau très limité en eau douce et en vivres à bord. L'inspection réalisé par le CSN permettra de déterminer si d'autres déficiences sont relevées.
A bord, la situation semble se compliquer même si les services de l'état indiquent que " les conditions de vie essentielles sont respectées".
Sur leur navire amarré au quai du cinquième bassin du port de commerce, les marins du "World Trader" commencent à trouver le temps long. D'autant que l'ambiance entre le commandant espagnol, les cinq marins vénézuéliens et les deux marins ukrainiens n'est visiblement " pas au beau fixe". Ces derniers sont en effet accusés par leur collègues d'être responsable de la situation du vieux remorqueur, qui ne dispose ni d'argent, ni d'assureur.
After being towed on Sunday, December 7, 2025, by the tugboat Sapeur from Douarnenez Bay, where it had left one of its anchors, to a mooring buoy in Roscanvel Bay, the old tugboat World Trader reached the west quay of the fifth basin in the port of Brest on Monday, December 8, around 9:00 p.m. This transfer was carried out as part of the "port of refuge" procedure.
On Tuesday, December 9, government services, including the Ship Safety Center (CSN), the captain, and his deputy continued their checks on the vessel, ensuring the safety of the ship and its crew.
The investigations revealed very limited levels of fresh water and provisions on board. The inspection carried out by the CSN will determine if any other deficiencies are found.
On board, the situation appears to be deteriorating, even though government services indicate that "essential living conditions are being met." On their ship, moored at the quayside of the fifth basin in the commercial port, the sailors of the "World Trader" are starting to find the time dragging. Especially since the atmosphere between the Spanish captain, the five Venezuelan sailors, and the two Ukrainian sailors is clearly "not good." The latter are, in fact, being accused by their colleagues of being responsible for the situation of the old tugboat, which has neither money nor insurance.

I didn't get pictures of this, but the train at the front of the float was able to rise 35 feet into the air.
At the border town of Ollague, one of the first persons travellers encounter as they enter Chile from Bolivia is this young lady and her fast-food stall selling soft drinks and deep fried pastry things that promised more than they delivered.
On the day of my visit, it seemed she’d turned up for work in her underwear. She was quite keen to be photographed and I should have stuck with the full frontal approach, but wanted to include the FCAB locos shunting back and forth.
So here we are, squashed up in a hot tin hut under the desert sun, testing (and failing) with my very rudimentary Spanish, and with my reputation fast disappearing down the track along with the locos.

Well done to my Flickr friend 'tentontipper' and his father for their superb restoration of this 1964 Thames Trader tipper- converted to 6x4 by AWD of Camberley.
All Wheel Drive Ltd used only the Trader cab, engine, gearbox and front axle in this conversion- the chassis rails, transfer box and rear axles were all of their own design.
- Well, Admiral Motti... I must say I'm pleased, considering you opened your account today and managed to collect all white Imperial cards within one hour.
- Thank you, my Lord! I was trading away all rebel cards to achieve this as soon as possible!
- Good.

Not too sure about this one myself, but hey... I'm always looking to mix things up with different styles... :)
A cheery smile from a trader in his hygiene food safety hat selling food in a street market. During Ramadan, the early evening markets were hectic, selling prepared food that local people took home to be eaten after sunset.
