Valley of the Tennessee (1944 Documentary)
HISTORICAL FILM
The Valley of the Tennessee is a film showing the hardships of agriculture before the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) came in and built many dams to help prevent the problems of flooding, erosion, and poor irrigation. Before the TVA built its many dams there was a lot of farms, houses, and lives lost due to flooding. With the building of the dams and educating of the farmers in the Tennessee River Valley, the TVA helped better the area for generations to come. ~~Archive.Org description

Vintage Motive Power on Freight - Florida Central
Let's take a trip to the past with an EMD GP30 built for the L&N in the early 1960's and a Clinchfield F7 built in the late 1940's lugging some loaded steel cars in the sunshine state.
Seeing this kind of power in freight service is rare, but seeing it on a modern mainline is a treat to witness. Here we chase L&N 1030 and Clinchfield 800 up the Florida Central with over 20 loaded steel flat cars from Orlando to Eustis. The two 567 equipped motors pull hard to get the tonnage over the line, and performed spectacularly. The sound of roaring EMD 2-stroke engines and a Leslie RS-5TRRO horn wakes up central Florida on a hot day in September.
L&N 1030 and Clinchfield 800 are both locomotives originating from the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum located out of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Both of these locomotives can be seen pulling excursions for the Orlando & Northwestern Railway with trips departing Mount Dora and Tavares. L&N 1030 was the common freight power on the old line from Oak Ridge to Blair and pulled many excursions of the Secret City Scenic and provided the air for the Oak Ridge Horn Honk. Clinchfield 800 was restored to its as-delivered livery by CSX Transportation in Huntington, West Virginia and was featured in the lead of the 2017 Santa Train down the Clinchfield Railroad.
Enjoy!

ABANDONED TRAIN TUNNEL Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia Railway (TAG) Tunnel near Pigeon Mtn. Georgia
Hello all, this is what I believe may be the last documentation of this tunnel before a major portal collapse or cave in. This is in the Lafayette Pigeon Mtn. area and it's a several mile hike back to the tunnel thankfully on public land. I came with the intention to do a walk through but unfortunately the water was too high for our mud boots. I would like to return in the next few months with waiters for a walk through. I hope you enjoy and the video, like and subscribe. Check out my Instagram @the.ringgold.railfan for pictures and more.

Autumn at K-25 Plant Oak Ridge, Tennessee 2011
The K-25 plant, located on the southwestern end of the Oak Ridge reservation, used the gaseous diffusion method to separate uranium-235 from uranium-238. Based on the well-known principle that molecules of a lighter isotope would pass through a porous barrier more readily than molecules of a heavier one, gaseous diffusion produced through myriads of repetitions a gas increasingly rich in uranium-235 as the heavier uranium-238 was separated out in a system of cascades. Although producing minute amounts of final product measured in grams, gaseous diffusion required a massive facility to house the hundreds of cascades and consumed enormous amounts of electric power.
Begun in June 1943 and completed in early 1945 at a cost of $500 million, the K-25 plant employed 12,000 workers. The U-shaped K-25 building measures half a mile by 1,000 feet and is larger than the Pentagon. Construction began before completion of the design for the process. Due to construction needs at K-25 and elsewhere on the reservation, the town of Oak Ridge, originally designed for 13,000 people, grew to 50,000 by summer 1944.
Gaseous diffusion was one of three isotope separation processes that provided uranium-235 for the Hiroshima weapon (Little Boy) - the other two being electromagnetic separation and liquid thermal diffusion. The S-50 liquid thermal diffusion plant, using convection to separate the isotopes in thousands of tall columns, was built next to the K-25 power plant, which provided the necessary steam. Much less efficient than K-25, the S-50 plant was torn down after the war. Gaseous diffusion was the only uranium enrichment process used during the Cold War. K-25 was the prototype for later Oak Ridge plants and those at Paducah and Portsmouth.
Semiphore Signals Mitchell, IN to Orleans, IN
Videoed in January 2007, we have a CSX train that had traveled eastbound on the ex B&O line and is now shoving north onto the ex Monon railroad in Mitchell, IN. The last scene is several miles south of Mitchell at Orleans, IN where we see the same train pass an old operating Monon semiphore signal. I was very lucky to have been in the right place at the right time, cause train traffic at this time was very slow and infrequent. I even traveled all the way from below Nashville, TN to see these signals, so I was very happy to have seen a train through here.
From what I hear CSX isnt running much on this line today, however the INRD does use the same tracks as well. Update, INRD no longer runs trains over this line and CSX uses it for storing unused cars. Too bad, cause i followed this line all the way to the Ohio River. In southern Indiana near Louisville, KY there is a section of street running, would have loved to have seen a train there.

It is always about how much do you pay the minimum about credits and loans each month. However, the new system of credit scores will check under microscope how much you pay.

All the non-important bills will affect your industry. Finance and Insurance sector also includes monetary authorities charged with monetary control. The sub-sectors, industry groups and industries within the NAICS Finance and Insurance sector are defined on the basis of their unique production processes. As with all industries, the production processes are distinguished by their use of specialized human resources and specialized physical capital. In addition, the way in which these establishments acquire and allocate financial capital, their source of funds, and the use of those funds provides a third basis for distinguishing characteristics of the production process. For instance, the production process in raising funds through deposit-taking is different from the process of raising funds in bond or money markets. Installment credit is used for a specific purpose, for a defined amount and for a specific period. Payments are usually the same amount each month. Examples of purchases made on installment credit include large appliances, automobiles and furniture. These kinds of loans usually offer lower interest rates than revolving credit. For example, a car company holds a lien on the car until the car loan is repaid. The total amount of the principal and interest is repaid within a predefined period. If the customer defaults on the loan payments, the company can repossess the car and charge penalties. Better Qualified has developed a proven credit management program that will help you manage your credit and save money. The Oak Ridge area is striated by five elongated ridges that run roughly parallel to one another in a northeast-to-southwest direction. In order from west-to-east, the five ridges are Blackoak Ridge—which connects the Elza and K-25 bends of the Clinch and thus walls off the half-rectangle—East Fork Ridge, Pine Ridge, Chestnut Ridge, and Haw Ridge. The five ridges are divided by four valleys—East Fork Valley (between Blackoak and East Fork Ridge), Gamble Valley (between East Fork Ridge and Pine Ridge), Bear Creek Valley (between Pine Ridge and Chestnut), and Bethel Valley (between Chestnut and Haw). These ridges and valleys are part of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians physiographic province. The main section of the city is located in the northeast, where East Fork and Pine Ridge give way to low, scattered hills.
