It all arrives by truck not magic!

I've posted photos of the oats harvest here in Howard County in the past couple weeks and here's the culmination of that process - threshing time. From right to left: a gasoline engine that turns a big belt that powers the threshing machine; the oats bundles being unloaded from a horse-drawn wagon that brought them in from the field where they'd been stored in the shocks; the big gray threshing machine that sorts the grain from the chaff; the oats is going into the wood wagon mostly hidden behind the threshing machine; the long gray tube carrying the chaff to a stationary baling machine that makes small square bales; the bales being loaded up on wagons and ready to be carried back to the barn. My Grandpa Reis threshed oats this same way only three miles away and I helped to throw bundles off the wagon and into the threshing machine just like you see here but a half-century ago so this was life as I knew it growing up. Grandpa farmed with tractors rather than horses starting in the 1940s though.

Another requested stop on our journey home beside the harbour. The phosphate being unloaded comes from Western Sahara, Africa to make fertilizer for NZ farms.

Thanks very much if you feel like commenting.

Sorry the absolutely horrid picture, as you cannot even see the front of the British figures.

I hope you guys enjoy this little scene I put together last night. I made a flamethrower to go with the dead German, and I painted another camouflage Stahlhelm as well. Road looks alot better but the truck covers it up.

Thoughts appreciated!

Thanks and God Bless,

Northshore Mining SD38-3 gets ready to shove another cut of raw ore towards the unloading shed in Silver Bay. This unit was originally one of only six SD28s built for domestic service by EMD.

The 4M86 03.00 liner from Felixstowe approaches the EMG terminal.

With only sixteen containers this one won't take long to unload!

The cages with the empty cardboard boxes are collected. Converted to monochrome.

The biggest harbour for consumer fish in Denmark. Due to Brexit the harbour has faced a decline in trafic from trawlers unloading their cargo (fish). Now the future for the harbour and community looks very uncertain.

This winter, as in previous years, I have been in this beautiful and serene coastal town, where artisanal fishing is part of its essence.

Making the first pull off the Chief Wawatam on September 10, 1981 is SOO 4414 and 4427 at St. Ignace. If the boat was fully loaded the units and train would end up blocking State Street(the main street of St. Ignace) so the crews would normally take a couple cuts off the boat and pull over State street and shove back into the lakefront yard and then return for the last two cuts off the boat.

We find unloading of the car ferry Chief Wawatam of her usual assortment of western lumber loads mixed with cars from northern Michigan. The Detroit and Mackinac RS3m 975 with her pair of 40' gondola idler cars works the Chief at Mackinaw City, Michigan on November 10, 1978.

The job of unloading coal in Bangladesh is very hard. All work is done manually. Heavy baskets, loaded with coal, are worn on the head of both men and women. Hard work leaves its mark on people.

The Copper Basin ore train has shoved the loaded train through the track on the right and is now pulling ahead slowly just starting the ore unloading process.

I wish I'd spent more time on this operation but it was 30 miles away.....and SOO ran COFC right by my door in Trout Lake so I didn't do the Chief justice. This was late March 1981 as 403 and 2408 empty the Chief at St. Ignace.
