Out today having more fun with my one pound piece of welding glass.Took it up to a place called Aber Falls. Bit cold stood in the water tho!!!
As welded rail train 97Q shoves back into the New Bern yard to call it a day, it passes by a MoW siding made up of the predecessor to welding large sections of rail together: classic jointed rail. If I remember correctly, this was actually where the ACL's line from Wilmington ended and met the A&EC (don't quote me on that).
A.G. Welding is a fabrication shop specializing in custom metalwork for manufacturing and visual displays as well as architectural and furniture components. The business is located in Garfield Park. A fun place to visit...so many specialized machines and projects underway! Great to see a thriving industry in our city that is so full of sad reminders of industries lost.

A little while ago North Island College hired a new welding instructor and asked me to take some portraits of him in his new classroom at the Port Alberni Trades Complex. I took advantage of the access and also hung out with some students in their booths to try and get my own version of the classic 'welding sparks flying' shot.
I constantly try to push my own abilities and 1/8th handheld is pushing pretty hard! The wide angle lens, high-ish ISO, little bit o' flash and Joe McNally's patented stance all came together and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out and I LOVE the lens flare. I wish you could see just a little more of his hand and the welding equipment.

An ironworker from Diamond Steel Construction starts welding the 2"x2" square bars to the deck of the 60' QTTX flat car. The 80-ton GE has 8' wheelbase trucks, so 10' bars were welded to the deck to act as rails.
Having just pulled the rails to stress them, a Thermic weld is dropped to join them. Here the rails are undergoing pre-heat in order to ensure that they are hot enough for the molten metal to fuse correctly to them.

Looking down on Harvard's Weld Boat House from the Anderson Bridge on the Charles River. (The bridge was recently restored.)
