Nestled on the edge of a small town in rural North Nottinghamshire, Tuxford Windmill is one of the finest examples of a traditional working windmill. It's a Grade II Listed Building. The mill was erected in 1810 an remained in operation until the 1920s when it was damaged in a storm. The 38ft tower corn windmill was built before 1840 and out of use by 1906. At just over 200 years old, the windmill is the only privately owned commercial windmill to fund it’s on going restoration in Nottinghamshire and the rest of the UK, which mills grain using traditional stones, using wind-power only. The grains it uses for milling are mostly grown by the Turner family who farm in South Lincolnshire and are members of the British Soil Association. The rest of the milling grains are British grown and are sourced through a grain merchant. You can taste delicious goodies all made from the Mill's flour, at its Tearoom.
It's a 4-storey black tower mill with an ogee cap and four sails. Received an *SPAB Mill Section plaque for the restoration in 1995. The mill is built of red brick, tarred to create a weatherproof black exterior. There are two window openings at ground floor level and two doorways with 20th-century doors. The tower supports a white-painted cap and four sails with a fantail.
*The Mills Section of the SPAB is the UK's national organisation devoted to protecting and promoting traditional windmills and watermills.

As I've mentioned before, Class 1 local freights working industries are a favorite subject of mine and even better when they are in buildings!
CSXT local L007 from Middleboro has made the mile long trip east on the Northeast corridor from BORO to HOLDEN and have backed down the twisting lead to Polyfiber Inc. which is a subsidiary of Holland Manufacturing makers of industrial packaging, specialty coated and laminated products, water activated tapes and other products. Here they are seen with all three of their GP40-2s inside the building as they shove a single covered hopper onto spot at the far end.

A CSXT Yard job is switching in the former New Haven North Yard in the busy little Framingham terminal which serves as the eastern Mass carload hub that feeds myriad locals which fan out around suburban Boston.
Handling the chores are pair of veteran EMD SD40-2s, CSXT 8400 and 8804. The former is a rebuilt SD40-2 and is rather noteworthy having been originally built as a straight SD40 in July 1969 as Western Maryland 7449. The trailing unit was blt. in Jul. 1977 as CR 6375 and is on home rails here as all of this is former Conrail territory.

Portrait of a trained fishing Great cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) standing on a fishing net, Li River near Xingping Fishing Village, Guangxi Province, China. The birds have a life span of up to 25 years.The practice of fishing with cormorants is an ancient tradition in China that is now dying out as the fish populations decline in the rivers and it is now practised primarily for the tourist industry. This bird was preening and had a feather stuck to its bill.

This trio of Union Railway end cab switchers sounded great as they worked uphill somewhere in the Pittsburg area.
Work has been so demanding recently, the spare time I've had has been used up in the garden. These muddy boots give you an indication of just how hard I've been working. ;-)
My photography has taken a back seat for a couple of weeks, I hope to get back into it soon.
We have been working on a previously useless part of the garden to create a vegetable patch.

His Master's Voice (HMV) was the name of a major British record label created in 1901 by The Gramophone Co. Ltd. The phrase was coined in the late 1890s from the title of a painting by English artist Francis Barraud, which depicted a dog named Nipper listening to a wind-up disc gramophone and tilting his head. In the original, unmodified 1898 painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder phonograph.
