A crew member on the SR 520 West Approach Bridge North Project welded metal with precision as he worked on the widening of westbound SR 520.
Construction crews were busy along the SR 520 corridor during the March 13 - 16 weekend closure of westbound SR 520. Critical work activities on the SR 520 West Approach Bridge North Project included removing sections of concrete barrier to begin the widening of a portion of SR 520, creating a new work zone to build a newly configured off-ramp to Montlake Boulevard and installing a new combined sewer line under the highway. Crews working on the Eastside Transit and HOV Project used the closure to complete final construction activities on the SR 520 mainline lanes. Find out more about the new SR 520 on our website.
The SR 520 West Approach Bridge North Project is the next construction phase of the SR 520 Program. When complete in summer 2017, WABN will be built to modern earthquake standards and connect westbound-traveling vehicles, transit/HOV, bicycles and pedestrians from the new floating bridge to the Montlake area.
While she was welding, I couldn't look at the fire with my bare eye, so I had to put my welding mask on which made it so I couldn't see my view finder at all. My photographs came out perfectly despite that I couldn't see anything.

1952 GMC Pickup, 9300 model which is the 1/2 Ton Series Designation used for GMCs in Canada. GMC, formerly the General Motors Truck Company, or the GMC Truck & Coach Division (of General Motors Corporation), is a division of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM) that primarily focuses on trucks and utility vehicles. GMC currently makes SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and light-duty trucks, catered to a premium-based market. In the past, GMC also produced fire trucks, ambulances, heavy-duty trucks, military vehicles, motorhomes, transit buses, and medium duty trucks.
Pickup trucks are interesting vehicles. They are thought up to bring utility to the table for workers, and that’s still true today. Although they’re no longer reserved for farmers and hauling building materials today, the trend of the truck becoming the ‘every mans’ vehicle really did begin in the 1950s. Another thing that happened in the mid-1950s was every vehicle becoming a lot more stylish, and the Americana love of the automobile got stronger than ever before. Back around the mid-1950s, the pickup started to gain more style and creature comforts, attracting a larger customer base - they were no longer just dedicated workhorses.
While the United States had the GMC 3100, Canada got a nearly identical variant of the truck in the form of a 9300 GMC. This particular example is an outstanding original representative of this line of GMC trucks. And when we say original, we mean original truck.

Allagash train DM-2 (Dixfield-Madrid) breaks the silence at the small town of Weld, Maine in April 1977. The train is led by Alco C420 208.
The action takes place on Mike Confalone's HO scale Allagash Railway.
Mike is our guest on Episode 18.
Chief Engineer Steve Walsh stick welds metal handles to the frame of the vibracorer to attach tag lines (lines to control it while it dangles from the crane).
The frame is ~5" square steel tube running left to right. The tag-line handle is ~1/2" bent steel rod with one end in the glowing weld and the other end further to the right. The welding stick is coming in from the top.
Shot a couple of weeks ago in the fabrication warehouse at Falmouth docks. I went to stay with my girlfriend in Falmouth and took the chance to go down to the docks to shoot some photos. I've got 2 more films I need to dev of portraits etc. That will hopefully come out alright.
