Some members of a fishing crew work together in carrying a few large containers filled with fresh water from a concrete platform onto their boat.
This indicates that they are preparing for their next fishing trip which, according to a crew member, will last for a period of five days.

It's a spectacular fall morning in the Sandhills as job PD25 goes about their work in downtown Bennettsville. Quite the throwback scene here to railroading of 40 years ago, with the GP16 pair and all the 1970s-era boxcars.
Each working day at 7,30 a.m. I go through this crossroads and I perceive a certain mood, a kind of understated sadness, most in wintertime when it's still dark. So, one saturday morning, I went there with camera and tripod maybe to catch that mood.
I'm currently knee deep in art tests for a new job. My industry is very liberal, I'm sure they wouldn't mind a modern girl like me joining their staff. If anything, it might give them something to talk about. Which reminds me, I really need to do one of my photos as a digital painting.
NS 9918 and another GE work Pitcairn van yard in Wall PA. In the evening a fleet of van trains mostly westbounds would make quick work of working Pitcairn yard and would soon be blasting west for a crew change at Conway.
"Working Towards a Better World".
"Essi,
i diseredati, e, per di più, figli
(che, dei diseredati hanno il sapere
del male – il furto, la rapina, la menzogna -
e, dei figli, l’ingenua idealità
del sentirsi consacrare al mondo),
essi, ebbero subito la vecchia luce d’amore
- come gratitudine – nel fondo degli occhi.
E, parlando, parlando, finché
scese la notte (e già uno mi abbracciava,
dicendo ora che mi odiava, ora che no,
mi amava, mi amava), seppi, di loro, ogni cosa,
ogni semplice cosa. Questi erano gli dei,
o figli di dei, che misteriosamente sparavano,
per un odio che li avrebbe spinti giù dai monti di creta,
come sposi assetati di sangue, sui Kibutz invasori
sull’altra metà di Gerusalemme…
Questi straccioni, che vanno a dormire, ora,
all’aperto, in fondo a un.prato di periferia.
Coi loro fratelli maggiori, soldati
armati di un vecchio fucile e di due baffi
di mercenari rassegnati a vecchie morti.
Questi sono i Giordani terrore di Israele,
questi che davanti a me piangono
l’antico dolore dei profughi. Uno di essi,
deputato all’odio, già quasi borghese (al moralismo
ricattatore, al nazionalismo che sbianca di furore
nevrotico) mi canta il vecchio ritornello
imparato dalla sua radio, dai suoi re -
un altro, nei suoi stracci, ascolta assentendo,
mentre, come un cucciolo, si stringe a me,
non provando altro, nel prato di confine,
nel deserto giordano, nel mondo,
che un misero sentimento di amore."

Another shot from this fun catch last spring.
Previously relegated to working overnight under the cover of darkness, thanks to pandemic reduced train frequencies on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor for some time now NS local H04 has been working days. On duty at 0900 at Baltimore's Bayview Yard, they normally work to the big Clorox plant in Perryman daily and as far north as Havre de Grace at least once a week.
Here they are seen on the Old Main switching out Plastipak Industries before getting their train back together so they can start back south. The old line is a 1 3/4 mile long stub of the old main line through town that lead to the original 1866 bridge. After the mainline was realigned slightly on the approach to the new and higher 1906 structure still in service the old line into town was retained and more than a century later it still has three rail served customers located on it.
NS 5620 is a GP38-2 that was rebuilt with a chopped nose in 2005 from a Southern high hood GP38AC oroginally blt. Aug. 1971 as CNOTP 2871.

Following the loss of bitumen traffic to Preston Dock, the wagons are now redundant and destined for storage. On Monday 20th January 2025, 56049 "Robin of Templecombe" drags some through Lostock Hall. The wagons will be stored at Eastriggs M.O.D. which is where this working, 6Z32 (11:24 off Ribble Rail) is headed.
Working the last kilometers of its journey from Valenciennes (F) to Châtelet, Lineas 1308 is awaiting a clear signal to get trough Charleroi Sud with its Vallourec steel train 42899 on 24/11/2021.
92 011 and 92 036 working in multiple represent a third of the remaining active fleet of DB Cargo class 92's in the UK. With six retained for Channel Tunnel work and freights over the CTRL/HS1 only. They are no longer maintained for working on the classic routes across Kent as the third rail shoe gear has been removed or isolated. The remaining locos are all configured for Eurotunnel AC mode operation only which covers the High Speed line as well. DB inherited 30 of these locos from EWS but six have moved to Romania and four to Bulgaria in recent years leaving twenty in the UK owned by DB. They are very expensive to keep in service hence the bare minimum being retained for Channel Tunnel related work as there is simply no other suitable traction. GBRF persevere with the class but as the parts pool diminishes they don't have an assured future unless expensive re-engineering is considered.
In this picture the duty shunter has arrived in his buggy and is preparing to tie off while the driver of train 4443 the 13.44 (12.44 GMT) from Calais Fréthun Yard prepares to shunt the locos to the holding line in the yard. The train is made up of empty bogie steel flats from Ebange and will go forward behind diesel traction as 4E26 08.13 (next morning) to Scunthorpe Steelworks.

Minolta XD5 & Ilford Delta 400 @1000 iso. That shot was taken at the "le truk" stage. Thanks to him for this great time.
In addition to swamps, Bourbon Street, jambalaya, and Ed Orgeron; chemical plants are certainly something that comes to mind when thinking of Louisiana. Both KCS and CN get lots of revenue traffic from the myriad plants lining their parallel lines following Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Here at the large Shell Oil refinery at Norco, a local based out Reserve spots some tank cars just as the end of high sun approaches on one of the longest days of the year.
This is October 2010 and while the world has changed a lot in ten years, I'm pleased to say I've changed very little.

Koh Lipe is the southernmost island of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. It is part of the Adang-Rawi archipelago. This archipelago forms, together with the Tarutao archipelago, the National Park Koh Tarutao. The Chao Lay live on the island. This is a tribe that lives mainly on the islands in the Andaman Sea. Although Koh Lipe is part of a national park, the inhabitants are only allowed to develop part of the island for tourism. All other islands is prohibit. On the car-free island there are a few narrow roads that connect the beaches, because that is what it is all about: enjoying the sun, sea and beach. The seawater is emerald green-blue and crystal clear. The island is surrounded by a beautiful coral reef with numerous beautiful tropical fish. With the longtail boat you sail to the most beautiful and best snorkling spots in the area. That it is a National Park means that the entire island is protected area. This is not for nothing, because nature here is really beautiful. Twenty years ago I had been here with my wife, together with our daughter back again. See photo from 1998.
Koh Lipe is a small island in the Southern part of the Thai Andaman Sea. It is famous for it's white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and bountyful marine life. The main transport hub for Koh Lipe is Pak Bara with daily speedboats boats running all year. This cluster of islands is part of the much larger Tarutao National Marine Park, a nature reserve established in 1974 as Thailand’s second National Park. It consists of about 50 islands and covers 1500 km². We visit Koh Lipe in the low season for peaceful, romantic walks along the deserted beach under the moonlight. Low season with rain but we had some holiday luck ;-) Photo of Men unloading cargo from the long-tail boat. The small island in the background is Koh Kra.
Koh Lipe is het meest zuidelijke eiland van Thailand gelegen in de Andamanse Zee. Het maakt deel uit van de Adang-Rawi-archipel. Deze archipel vormt samen met de Tarutao-archipel het Nationaal Park Koh Tarutao. Op het eiland wonen de Chao Lay. Dit is een stam die voornamelijk op de eilanden in de Andamanse Zee leeft. Ondanks dat Koh Lipe deel uitmaakt van een nationaal park mogen de inwoners slechts een gedeelte van het eiland verder ontwikkelen voor toerisme. Alle andere eilanden zijn onbewoond. Op het autovrije eiland lopen enkele smalle wegen die de stranden met elkaar verbinden, want dat is waar het op hier vooral om draait: genieten van zon, zee en strand. Ons Salisa resort is op de sunrise beach en heeft een fantastische ligging. Het zeewater is smaragdgroen-blauw en glashelder. Het eiland wordt omringd door een prachtig koraalrif met talloze prachtige tropische vissen. Met de longtailboot vaar je naar de mooiste en beste snorkelplekken in de omgeving. Koh Lipe ligt 65km van het vaste land. Met de speedboot vaar je dit in 1.5 uur. Foto van Mannen die de zware lading van de long-tailboot lossen op het eiland Koh Lipe. Allemaal handwerk op eiland. Het kleine eiland op de achtergrond is Koh Kra. Dat het een Nationaal Park is, betekent dat het gehele eiland beschermd gebied is. Dit is niet voor niets, want de natuur hier is werkelijk is prachtig. Twintig jaar geleden was ik hier met m'n vrouw geweest nu samen met onze dochter weer terug. Zie foto uit 1998.
