Near the Panamint Springs entrance to Death Valley. Panamint Valley, so vast and desolate that it could be (was) mistaken by newcomers for Death Valley itself, lies to the east just beyond this hill.
Zinc refinery. A revisit - from the MONA ferry of course - although nothing seems to have outwardly changed over the years.

The process line of the factory comprises, among others, melting furnaces, a heating furnace for zinc plates, a casting carousel, pre- and finishing rolling mills as well as sheet cutting shears.
Originally opened in 1904 near Huta Bernhard (Bernhard Steelworks), the Zinc rolling mill hall (91x20m) and the engine Room (70x6m) functioned right up until 2002.

"The impression of
two sides of one
eroded surface
became a delicate
array of lines."

Etching on a zinc plate, prints of a leaf with asphalt paint (I developed my own receipe for it). Etched with hydrochloric acid and printed on laid paper.
Thanks to my mentor and friend Burkhard Pyroth.
PRL201, PRL202 and PRL205 approach Southern Cross with empty Glencore Zinc train 9M26 from Townsville to Mount Isa.
Operating on behalf of Glencore by Qube Logistics, this traffic was previously operated by Aurizon and then Pacific National before moving to a more "in-house" operation using Qube's accreditation.
The PRL class are ex Queensland Rail 2250 class locomotives, exported to South Africa by Aurizon and returned to Australia in August 2021.

Well known by hearing aid users, Zinc Air batteries have tiny holes on their surface to allow exchange of air, required for the chemical process. Before use, the openings are kept hermetically air-tight by a sticker opercule.
PRL202, PRL201 and PRL204 approach the level crossing along the Cloncurry Duchess Road just north of Malbon, working as 9229 loaded Glencore Zinc train from Mount Isa to Townsville.

Dodging the late day darkness, CN 580, the twice a week Matagami Turn, is racing hours of service over the time-consuming Chapais subdivision, leaving a trail of dust in this remote world. With empty cement and fuel cars on the rear end pulled in the dark hours of the night in Matagami, the train was made entirely of gons, all of them loaded at the Matagami and Langlois Zinc mine, and all bound for the Canadian Electrolytic Zinc processing plant in Valleyfield,QC.
With a single unit today assigned to them, the Senneterre-based crew leaved tonnage at Franquet, the junction point between Chapais and Matagami subdivisions, in order to be pulled by an extra work train tomorrow, allowing the photographers a bonus run on this quite remote line in northern Québec.
In June 2022, both Matagami and Langlois mines closed their operation leaving the remote 62 mile-long Matagami subdivision without any profitable customer. Harsh forest fires in the summer of 2023 severely damaged the line and CN didn't reopen it yet as we speak.
