Leased Muscle
The Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railway hauls taconite from the iron ranges of upper Minnesota to Duluth and Two Harbors on Lake Superior. From there the product is hauled by ship to blast furnaces located lower in the Great Lakes, such as Gary, Indiana.
During the winter months, when the Great Lakes fleet is frozen out of the game, the DM&IR leases some of its power to other roads. [Or at least they did when I was shooting back in the late 1970s.]
More than once I saw these intriguing units on the Illinois Central as well as on the Louisville & Nashville. I’m pretty certain the one pictured here is at an IC yard in Louisville. DM&IR 162 is an EMD SD9 built in April of 1959.

Repairing an Air Protein Fin in Superior City City workers conduct the operation of construction A.N.T.s (Autonomous Networked Things) as they repair a carbon capture coil near Superior City. The line between work and play is at best a fuzzy affair in Central Shield. Every citizen is expected to participate as a member of the Central Shield’s Civic Corps. Duties run the range from simple park maintenance to more complicated activities like construction and engineering of the megastructures. In exchange for their contribution to the well being of the city, the S.A.B reimburses each citizen for their efforts with a biweekly civic dividend (a form of universal basic income). This dividend is calculated such that those with the lightest duties and time commitments receive a generous living wage while those who commit more time and expertise are rewarded with larger payments. #SpeculativeDesign #SolarPunk #Biomimetics #Swarm #3dPrinting #architecture #engineering #robotics #AI #Ants #termites #carboncapture #airprotein #artificialmuscles #simulation #designfiction #FutureParfait #CentralShield #MarcNgui #LakeSuperior #ubi @cphfutures @instituteforthefuture @mcewenarchitecture @wevolver @cornelluniversity (at Terrace Bay, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoNelLFpcE5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

53.) My Great Lakes sweater, inspired by a trip by bus around Ontario. This picture was taken in Toronto in 2015 with scenery that looks amazingly like what is on the sweater. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #greatlakes #lakeontario #toronto #lakeerie #lakehuron #lakesuperior #ontario #toronto (at Scarborough Bluffs - Bluffer's Park Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmr_uXxv6S0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
