Shot from the backseat of my friend’s plane, a trio of Gary Railway SW1200s shove a cut of coke hoppers onto the high line towards Blast Furnace #14 at U.S. Steel Gary Works.
Union Pacific 8444 pulls a National Railway Historical Society excursion past United States Steel's Geneva Works in Orem, Utah the afternoon of May 25, 1980. On the left, throngs of fans attempt to keep pace with the high stepping 4-8-4. The excursion was traveling between Provo and Salt Lake City, resuming the second of two round trips between the two cities that weekend.

This is an aerial shot of the Tata Salt Plant near Northwich, Cheshire. I believe salt has been extracted in this area for several hundred years, certainly before anyone had heard of Tata. The firm produces sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and of course, sodium chloride.

Until I was a senior in high school, whenever I wanted to go somewhere, I used our family car, a 1951 Buick Special. It was 13 years old and dad went on to use it for a number of years more. When I pleaded for a newer car he would always say the old one still works. Today I drive a 19 year old vehicle. It still works.

The Wolfsbruchermoor peat works on 25th October 2017. This compact 600mm gauge railway was being operated by one man, Matthias, who was very friendly and proud of his 'multi-tasking' work. The 'main line' locomotive in operation on this occasion was 'No.13', a 22hp type 'DS20' 4-wheel diesel-mechanical built by DIEMA (works No.2655 built in 1963) and was purchased by the operating company in 2005 from the Ainring peat plant in Upper Bavaria. The loading point shunting loco beyond, 'No.8', was also a DIEMA another 22hp type 'DS20' built by DIEMA (works No.1875 built in 1956). The Wolfsbruchermoor peat railway, in the municipality of Wischhafen, was opened in 1946 and the peat extracted here is now transferred from the light railway to road vehicles that transport it for further processing at the larger company's premises since the factory was destroyed by fire at Wolfsbruchermoor. There are usually three locomotives available, one of which serves as a reserve. The operation is owned by the Euflor company and the locomotives are periodically exchanged with the larger Euflor peat plant in Drochtersen-Aschhornermoor, which was scheduled to cease peat production there in late 2024.

Lodi Sandhill Cranes in glorious morning light, but facing the opposite direction. When my alarm went off at 5 am, I almost didn't go. This outing reinforced my inner dialogue of "Always go".

A summer's wet day at Crewe Works in 1963 as labourers walk past with their oily rags. Behind them for light intermediate overhauls were 'Black Five' No 45289, Stanier '4MT' No 42565 and 'Royal Scot' No 46152 'The King's Dragoon Guardsman' (originally 46100).

This wet day picture was taken at Derby Works. Looking at the build date of the class 24 and the allocation of the Metro-Vic I think it was taken in early April 1959 the 24 had just been built and was being tested before it went to Hither Green.
D5706 was a Metropolitan Vickers Co-Bo, it was built 05/12/1958 and went new to Derby (17A), that code is stencilled on the front. The loco was withdrawn 07/09/1968 and cut at Cashmore's Great Bridge
D5012 was built at Derby works, 11/04/1959, it was allocated to Crewe (South) but went from Derby to Hither Green 18/04/1959. The loco was withdrawn as 24012, 16/08/1975 and cut at Doncaster Works 29/02/1976.

Enson potbank on Short Street, Longton was built by John Proctor in 1843; in 1870 it was bought by Middleton and Hudson and renamed the Alma Works, later becoming the Delphine Works. The factory was then purchased in 1948 by Spencer Stevenson & Co who specialised in domestic bone china and hotelware and renamed it the Enson Pottery Works. Production ceased in 1963 and the Grade II listed bottle kilns and range were largely derelict by 1998 when the site was purchased by Stoke City Council who renovated the historic site and built a modern extension to create the Centre of Refurbishment Excellence (CORE) used for IT development, education and business. The discarded object in the foreground shadows may be of interest. The water closet has been produced in vast numbers in the Potteries since 1849, the nickname for which has an intriguing etymology. The term, and indeed the bodily function associated with it, is said to have come about from the Yorkshire plumber Thomas Crapper (1836-1910) who was the first to display a flushing lavatory, in his London sanitaryware showroom. The popularity of the indoor flushing toilet was greatly increased when Thomas was granted a Royal Warrant in 1888 by Prince Albert (later King Edward VII) for supplying thirty porcelain lavatories with cedarwood seats to Sandringham House. Every cistern and toilet supplied from then on was branded 'The Venerable Thomas Crapper and Company'. The term 'crapper' entered popular use when American Servicemen stationed in England in WW1 saw his name cast into the front of the cistern and it soon became army slang for relieving the bowels, as in "I'm going to the crapper".
