A pair of Canadian Pacific EMDs work east along the D&I with an empty CWR train in tow. Shame the 6017 wasn't leading this move...
Weld Quay was created as part of a massive land reclamation project in George Town in the late 19th century, which pushed the coastline further east. During the heyday of British rule, Weld Quay was home to the Port of Penang, which was then one of the major ports in Malaya

Engineers are welding the core stage structures for the Artemis III mission, which will land the first woman and the next man on the lunar surface, through a process called friction stir welding. Each of the structures for the core stage has rings that attach the pieces together to produce one stage during final assembly. The rings are trimmed down to 1/1000th of an inch at the ring machining center then sent to another part of the facility for the next phase of manufacturing. Assembling the 5.5-million-pound SLS rocket for the Artemis missions takes special tools and is a collaborative effort between NASA and Boeing, the lead contractor for the core stage.

"Elle forme un carré parfait qui semble l'empreinte d'un sceau géant au milieu du labyrinthe. Des casernes se groupent tout autour, le mur du fond est peint en rouge. Une rampe surgit du mur, s'avance et s'interrompt. Tout semble tracé au cordeau, sans fantaisie.
Sur la place déserte se produit le phénomène suivant : la force du carré est telle qu'il vous emprisonne en son centre. On y est seul sans l'être."

"Er bildet ein perfektes Quadrat, das den Abdruck eines riesigen Siegels in der Mitte des Labyrinths zu haben scheint. Baracken sind ringsum gruppiert, die hintere Mauer ist rot gestrichen. Eine Rampe taucht aus der Mauer auf, läuft ein paar Meter und hört auf. Alles scheint mit einer Linie gezeichnet zu sein, ohne Schnickschnack.
Auf dem menschenleeren Platz tritt folgendes Phänomen auf: Die Stärke des Quadrats ist so groß, dass es einen in seinem Zentrum gefangen hält. Man ist dort allein, ohne allein zu sein."

Usually seeing just one echidna in a day is a treat, but two in a day is quite special. This echidna was roadside on Weld Rd in the Southern Forests tucking into an ants nest.
Waiting patiently is not one of my strong suits...while waiting for events back in April at the photo shoot for 611 I found this welded into steel for a switch. It appears after research on another switch that these numbers are significant by date or order and likely refers to install date or lot number. No idea about this one, but one more rail item to question.
Weld, I was talking with a friend about what flowers we had on some land before it was built on, and remembered this on, such a shame it's lost.

A few pictures I haven't posted so far for no reason. So now I'll post them for no real reason, other than to share them. Makes sense?
This image is a magnified 2X version of welding material on a steel plate. The colors in the image are heat-related to the oxidation that happens during the welding process, both on and within the steel. Some of the color is reflected room light. The combination of colors and welding bead patterns creates an unusual and intriguing abstract composition.
What the heck, here's another barn near Colorado's first railroad, the Denver Pacific along the St. Vrain river and the confluence with the South Platte River just northeast. eDDie says it has been rebuilt into housing. The D.P. railroad was built with a U.P. RR nod toward increasing Cheyenne traffic and support as a "land grant" railroad. The old grade is a historic memorial trail now so I guess it is entirely walkable. Later, when it cools to near normal. I see that one of the old trestles is still in place over the St. Vrain on the way toward Milliken and later Greeley. After the UP RR absorbed the DP RR, they named it the "Dent Branch." When I asked Google maps to locate "Dent, Colorado" the later UP RR branch name for the then branch line, It flagged a spot southeast of Milliken, Colorado. What was Dent as marked by the Google flag?
I asked the Colorado Virtual Library, and found it was not a town but an old depot and:
"Near Milliken, Colorado is the Dent Site, one of Colorado’s oldest and most significant archaeological sites. It was discovered in 1932 by a railroad foreman, who spotted some very large bones sticking out of the mud near the railroad tracks. Construction of the tracks, combined with heavy spring rains, had exposed a site that had been covered since the last ice age." CVL
It had been once inhabited by the prehistoric 'Clovis' Indians. I guess I better investigate what is there now. Maybe I will find some prehistoric bones and old railroad traces.
I am absolutely certain that I made NO positive contact with a Weld-head, right-wing carrier on my eastern swing, not even Don "Tweets" Corona, their bag man operator. I now have to invest in some petroleum futures at the local gas-er-up.
This eastern part of the valley is loaded with sand and gravel extraction firms. There is scarcely a confluence left to float. Google maps shows how ofter the river looped around the flat river bottoms and every gravel pit. Hand-hewn ties can never again be floated down the St. Vrain to the ghost RR! They won't need to use water to grow crops... ever again. The best crop then is actually topsoil. Take the money, build prairie castles and run. Water bluegrass with the river. Don't need no steenkin' agriculture.
