@PappenheimWx This is a rail grinder. The head of the rail is ground from time to time, to recreate a proper wheel / rail contact profile, and to remove running surface conditions which increase failure rates and inhibit ultrasonic defect detection.

@BCFerrys CAUSES of ANCHOR LOSS

1). Water too deep.

2). Chain too short.

@401_da_sarpanch @SkilledCanada Just in time for Easter. Tenderized, too!

@1SafetyLast More like, the ice taker ...

@BCFerrys Expect boredom.

@RegGFX Pigs on the Point, and the Big Hook under the watchful eye of the tail end crew in the crummy!

@BCFerrys Expect mRNA ...

[Paul Miller @pcmiller99]

@BCFerrys @EDenhoff Expect cave-ins.

@RegGFX Beautiful! Roscoe P. Coal Train ...

[Paul Miller @pcmiller99]

@BCFerrys Perhaps! But they shouldn't be worn after Labour Day ...

[Paul Miller @pcmiller99]

Maybe the retaining quay fell out of the prop shaft ...

[BCFerrys @BCFerrys]

We’re switching from propellers to Wharf Drive.

@TrishJewison Excellent photo, Ms @TrishJewison , as usual. Here we see CN's Thornton Yard looking a bit heavy. The brilliant yellow commodity in the cut of cars in the centre is elemental sulphur, likely from an Alberta gas plant, going for export over the North Shore.

This is Boomer, so named because he is so big, mean, and ferocious. His name fits his terror-inducing size and bone-cracking demeanour to a "T". Accordingly, he doesn't NEED a nickname!

@trainsongsbook You know who else is on fire? Locomotive engineers on that subdivision, for having the skill necessary to manage in-train forces over those hogbacks and swales.

@SantaFeAlways @KeithDMcMurdo Great photo, and great memories, thanks! In the afternoon, I used to nap once on board at Gare Centrale, and wake up when we clattered over the diamond at "Jonction de l'Est". I rode that train for ~ 2 years in the early '80's: in that time, it was late a grand total of once.

@TrishJewison Further proof (as if any is needed) that the Earth is not flat: if the Earth was, in fact, flat, my Yorkshire Terrier would jump up on it, and knock everything onto the floor. Wherever that might be.

@BCFerrys I would find the Ticket Clerk,
Reaching for my last pen-ny ...

@CanGeo @tynskiphoto Dang! That's cold on the paws!

[Paul Miller @pcmiller99]

@KeithDMcMurdo 144, I think
