2015 NRHS Convention, Omya Excursion Excerpt

19 Jun 2016 420
This was about where I discovered that the Pentax MZ-10 wouldn't be working for the convention, so this video starts as we arrive in Florence, Vermont, where Omya have a Limestone quarry and slurry plant. This excursion was operated by Vermont Railway EMD GP40 #301, and GP40-2LW #311, using Green Mountain Railroad passenger stock.

Lhota, Bohemia (CZ), 2009

Lhota, like Slapy, is a fair-sized man-made lake, although to the best of my knowledge it's a reused quarry rather than a reservoir. Does anybody know if it's used as a reservoir???? I don't know. It is used as a swimming area, I know that much.
