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.

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.

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.

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.

Jón is hard at work as usual, spinning the cut grass into long piles that will then be bagged up (probably tomorrow? -- correction, tonight!) as bales
Barge Time = Train Time! - UP Seattle based yard crew YSE51R is in the process of stripping the weekly Alaska Railroad barge that has arrived from the 49th State on this summer solstice.
Three barges owned and operated by Alaska Railbelt Marine (a member of the Lynden family of companies) are constantly cycling between Seattle and Whittier, AK carrying railcars on 8 tracks and containers stacked three high in the racks above. It truly is a marvel of modern logistics. While the slip is owned and operated by the ARR, their trackage ends right beneath the coupler between the locomotive and head car. The ARR owns no trackage on land in Seattle and has no locomotives of its own with which to switch the barge. Hence, the UP provides this service since it is the railroad that owns the trackage on Harbor Island that connects to the ARR's barge slip. At the time this yard assignment was normally just a two man RCL crew, but on barge days an engineer was called and the barge was worked by a conventional three man crew.
In this view the UP crew has reached in with their handle behind classic GP15-1 #Y627, built for the Missouri Pacific in 1979, in order to keep the locomotive off the slip itself. This handle consists of a covered hopper and three old cabooses that has begun coupling up to pull cars off southbound ARMS voyage 1023 (the 23rd sailing of 2010).
This particular barge is the Fairbanks Provider built by Gunderson in 2001. and it is 420 ft long and 100 ft wide with 3190 linear feet of track on the deck and a dead weight of 15,300 tons!
Note: the Seattle skyline off to the northeast across Elliott Bay.
