Documentando para el futuro, los restos de la gigante grua puente de color rojo en el hangar de la sala de turbinas, fuera está lloviendo, entra poca luz y aún me gusta más Pintar en estas condiciones, se percibe mucho mejor la decandecia industrial de la CENTRAL TERMICA de FIGOLS y CERCS, peligrosos agujeros en el suelo que denotan la extracción pasada de las máquinas tan importates en la creación de la energía eléctrica que tiene su fuente en el carbón, historia industrial de Catalunya en la comarca del Berguedá, tiempos que ya no se repetirán, de aquí la trascendencia de querer estar pintando ahora la atmósfera impenetrable del antiguo centro energético, verdadera monumentalidad que va a desaparecer para siempre, se ha dictado sentencia y como tantos lugares con Alma están condenados a su total destrucción. Pintura del artista pintor Ernest Descals sobre papel de 50 x 70 centímetros, cada rincón me habla con el ruego de ser perpetuado, mi misión como autor plástico sigue los mensajes recibidos.

37217, still sporting BR Blue livery with small logos is seen at Stourton with a Civil Engineers train out of Healey Mills. I remember that this was a bitterly cold morning and for reasons unknown the loco was having difficulty restarting having been held at the signal.

Burlington Northern Santa Fe EMD SD75M No. 8284 in warbonnet colors shares floor space with a gathering of Grinstein-schemed EMD SD70MACs inside the large locomotive shop at Alliance, Nebraska, on July 21, 2003.

“The National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched the second Saturn/Apollo uprated Saturn I at 9:53 EST, July 5, 1966 from Complex 37, Cape Kennedy, Florida. Primary purpose of the unmanned mission will be a unique engineering study of liquid hydrogen fuel behavior and the launch vehicle’s S-IVB second stage prior to its use as a stage of Saturn V rockets in NASA’s Manned Lunar landing program. The uprated Saturn I will not carry an Apollo spacecraft, instead, the vehicle’s second stage and instrument unit and nose cone will orbit as one body, 92 feet long. It will weigh 58,500 pounds, the heaviest U.S. satellite ever place[d] in orbit.”

The above is taken from the official NASA caption associated with another photo of the launch.

One of my favorite rockets in appearance, and a fantastic photograph of it. Sometimes, black & white is just "it".

“For only the second time in Space Shuttle program history, Shuttles simultaneously occupy the two Launch Complex 39 pads: Shuttle Columbia (foreground) on Pad A, and Discovery at Pad B. Rollout of Columbia on April 22 also marked another highlight: Crawler-Transporter No. 2 racked up its 1,000th mile of carrying space vehicles to the launch pads. Discovery awaits liftoff on April 24 on Mission STS-31, while Columbia is scheduled for launch in May on Mission STS-35.”

This is a really nice-looking photograph. Despite my best efforts, the scan doesn’t do it justice.

Vehicle identification is based on, in conjunction with the hand-annotated date on the verso, the following excerpts:

“The S-IC-4 stage arrived at MSFC [this is a little misleading, as technically, the MTF was organizationally a part of MSFC, but not geographically] on April 4 aboard the barge Pearl River. The following day Boeing personnel placed the stage in the MTF S-IC static test stand.”

And:

“…the 124-meter-tall test stand at the Mississippi Test Facility is hoisting the first operational S-IC first stage for the Saturn V into test position.”

Specifically:

Interestingly, thanks to the remarkable inherent photo resolution & my gracious 1200 dpi scanning, a “SIC-T4-2” placard affixed to the handrail of the B-1/B-2 Test Stand’s walkway is easily legible, almost directly above the upper right F-1 engine.
Finally, I’m assuming the large, apparently ribbed cylindrical object, wrapped & strapped(?) down to the deck of “Pearl River” to be an F-1 engine nozzle extension. Makes sense it/they would’ve accompanied the S-IC stage, right? However, would all FIVE fit on one barge? I have a photo from another perspective, of “Pearl River”, and it doesn’t look like there’s that much cargo capacity aft of the bridge.
Really a superb photo, further enhanced by the subject matter. Still of superior gloss, the obvious fingerprint near the upper left corner does not detract. And get this, it's part of the original photographic processing...therefore not unique to this photo, there's absolutely no relief to it when viewed obliquely. Not to be a dick, but I think the print should be run through AFIS, and the guy responsible, along with his non-existent "QC" supervisor should both be posthumously suspended, demoted or something like that.

Peripheral, but informative...and it includes pics & references to S-IC-4:

“Artist’s concept of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s 350-foot Advanced Saturn launch vehicle that will carry Astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade.”

The above is taken from the verso of a postcard featuring pretty much the same scene, with minor variations. Although generic, it’s way better than the following, which is what’s on the verso of the photo itself:

“Sat. V Launch Site, KSC”

Neither here nor there; however, these stretch Saturns, featuring the Purina checkerboard paint pattern, were usually referred to as the “Advanced Saturn”. And, as Ed Dempsey astutely pointed out in my previous posting of the related image (linked to below):

“A bit of "artistic license" on the Saturn V, too, There are no fins on this rendition of the moonbird. The third stage is too slender and long, and the LUT should be in front of the booster, as it rolls out to the pad…

In all fairness to this uncredited NASA artist, the changes in hardware were coming thick and fast, back then. This morning's rocket and pad might differ quite a bit from tomorrow's versions. Huntsville, Houston, The Cape, and Washington weren't always on the same page as to configuration, either.”

Note also the diminutive size of what I assume to be the Vertical/Vehicle Assembly Building, along with its alarmingly nearby proximity to the pad. Additionally, the Mobile Launcher Platform sort of looks to be integrated with the Crawler Transporter...possibly confirmed by the lack of any visible hardstands or similar such mounts on the launchpad.

Regardless of the above, it's delightful & beautiful. Possibly by Don Mackey? A logical candidate considering the subject matter and estimated time period, but somehow…maybe not. Like, are those "Don Mackey people"? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whoever it is, enjoy!

Brand new Union Pacific EMD SD60M Nos. 6194 and 6205 are in the final stages of assembly as they are “trucked” with an overhead crane specially for visitors during an open house at the sprawling EMD plant at La Grange, Illinois, on September 17, 1989.

As material handling equipment, the 10-ton bridge crane is designed for lifting and transporting materials in various industries. It is equipped with reliable motors and accessories to ensure high-quality and safe operations.
