This is a photograph takes from inside the rail gang test track; it was taken some time in 1975.
The photograph is taken from a collection of black and white contact prints documenting the development of the whole of the Metro System in Tyne and Wear.
The images are taken from the Mott, Hay and Anderson Collection, consulting civil engineers responsible for the Tyneside Metro light rail system and the Tyne pedestrian, cyclist and vehicular tunnels.
Most of the photographs were taken by Amber Film Associates and Lambton Visual Aids, 5 and 9 The Side, Newcastle.

We have met Tarslag before but in adverts from their Midlands base in Wolverhampton and indeed they were eventually to be taken over by another Wolverhampton concern Tarmac. This advert is for their Stockton branch and as can be seen they manufactured and built concrete and associated structures. Probably most of interest are the 'Orlit' houses. Orlit was one of the various 'prefabricated' type of housing structures that were produced in the post-war period in an effort to help solve the UK's appalling housing crisis at the time - a mixture of pre-existing slum housing and losses due to wartime bombing. The hope was that pre-fabricated construction would be quicker and cheaper. Orlit houses were designed by a Czech emigre architect Erwin Catona and utilised pre-cast concrete panels bolted together to form the structure. It appears around 8,500 Orlits were built mostly in Scotland (by the Orlit Company) with, as the advert shows, the rest being mostly in N E England. They apparently were intended to have a design life of 60 years although some survive - most have been demolished due to structural failure of the joints that were prone to corrosion.

Dades Gorge or Gorges du Dadès, Morocco. A gorge carved by the Dades River separates Atlas and Anti-Atlas (or Lesser Atlas) mountain range. Recently the gorge and neighboring Berberian kasbahs became a popular tourist attraction.
The Dades Valley, also known as a Road of a thousand Kasbahs, stretches 160 km (100 mi) from Ouarzazate to the east of Tineghir. The winding road offers stunning views to the gorge and historic kasbahs. Tourists often refer to this as the most memorable experience in Morocco.
Here’s a 45-sec video that shows the winding roads in all their splendor:

The new underground line between Washermanpet and Korukkupet readied by the Chennai Metro Rail Limited. This line included two station as part of Phase 1 extension to Wimco Nagar. The line will offer the residents of North Chennai neighbourhoods access to the transport system. It is expected to be ready in 20 months after contract are awarded.
2 kms of the line will run beneath the northern suburbs of New Washerman pet and Korukkupet. The alignment from Thyagaraya College to Korukkupet Junction have been formed up. Also, authorities have marked areas of potential impact of work on the buildings around proposed stations and tunnels.
According to sources, the silty clay soil will make it easy for boring machine to cut through. However, as the stations have to be built around the 2 km stretch, which is extremely congested, the underground stations will be tough. Phase I of the extension line will begin at Washermanpet underground station. This is part of the Airport - Washermanpet corridor. The tunnel for the line will begin near the Mint flyover. This will be bored under the railway line to Beach station.
A lookout tower projects above the wall of the northeast bastion of the Castillo de San Marcos. From this point they could watch for any ships attempting to cross the bar into the harbor. The Castillo is built of blocks of coqunia (a composite shell stone) quarried on Anastasia Island and rafted across the river. Construction of the Castillo was begun in 1672 and took 25 years to complete. Shot in digital infrared.
Let me introduce Fidede, pronounced FeeDayDay one of a wonderful group of young people I met in Ottawa's Byward Market.
The group were working with their friend Wande on a fashion shoot for her new Stylist Business.
Fidede approached me to ask some questions about my camera equipment. A stunning woman in her own right, I took the opportunity to mention my project and that I was always looking for people to participate.
Originally from Nigeria Fidede is a second year Civil Engineering student at the University of Ottawa. Coincidentally she is also starting her own fashion blog, hence her keen interest in photography.
Obviously a perfectionist Fidede, has a real passion for knowledge and what it would take to improve her craft. I promised her I would send her some information on prime lenses along with the photographs I had taken of her.
A very spiritual person, Fidede wants to live her life according to her beliefs and along the way do what she can to help people.
A really sweet personality Fidede was very easy to talk to, she responded very quickly to my email with her photographs, thanking me very much, trust me the pleasure was all mine.
Thank you Fidede for taking the time to be a part of the Human Family Project.
Best wishes with your studies and your new fashion blog.
This is my 3rd photograph in the Human Family Project.

Engineering Across Continents
Two Years in Madrid and Two Years in St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
Welcome to the Department of Engineering at Saint Louis University in Spain
The department is home to more than 20 faculty members who form an interconnected network of researchers and industry professionals contributing to the creation of new frontiers of modern science and engineering. Our students and faculty have access to world-renowned educational resources and outstanding lab facilities. In keeping with the Jesuit tradition of promoting the development of the whole person, the Engineering programs include the Core Curriculum of Parks College of Engineering, Aviation and Technology. This Core provides a framework for acquiring a broad foundation of knowledge in the Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences. At the same time, the Core fosters intellectual inquiry, ethical decision making, and effective communication across the disciplines.
The Ferro-Concrete Review was a monthly journal produced to publicise the Mouchel-Hennebique method of reinforced concrete construction 'in engineering and architetcural practice'. Edited by W Noble Twelvetrees it is a highly informative periodical full of details and illustrations of numerous contemporary construction projects. The Mouchel-Hennebique method was the result of the engineer L G Mouchel being the British agent for the Hennebique French/Belgian method of early concrete reinforcement patented by François Hennebique (1842-1921).
The reconstruction of road bridges is often commented on in the Journal, at a time when increasing demands on highway infrastructure in post-WW1 years met with the relatively 'new' technology of reinforced concrete. Whereas many of the bridge illustrated have long been swept away in later reocnstructions it is remarkable how many still stand, in regular use, a centrury after construction.
The January 1924 issued looks at a number of bridges in Scotland. These pages look at two structures, the first being a bridge described as "Heriot Water Bridge", reconstructed for the Midlothian County Council under the superitenence of the County Road Surveyor, Mr R Moir, and with works carried out by Messrs Gray's Ferro-Concrete Co. It is not easy to pinpoint this bridge as names and locations are difficult to marry up especially as the A7 at this point has been extensively re-routed and reconstructed. I wonder if it is is not the bridge over the Gala Water adjacent to what was the site of the original Fountainhall station?
The second bridge was also a bit of a puzzle as this 'Gorgie Road' bridge, that I suspect spans the Water of Leith, does not align well with the current span that carries the A70 over the river. It may have been reocnstructed again, subsequently, possibly for the tramways extension? The bridge carries the then common ornate lamp standards that still exist, sadly disused, on many of the bridges in Edinburgh from this time. The building to the left, with the lion shields, looks interesting! The 'artistic' bridge was built to the designs of the 'late' City Architect, Mr George Morham. It's now been clarified that this is the bridge, still extant, that formed the entrance to Saughton Park and the site of the Scottish National Exhibition 1908 - the lion rampant decorating the now demolished entrance pavilion.

With the new Forth Road Bridge opening today, it seemed like an opportunity to post these photos of part of the Forth Rail Bridge at North Queensferry, Scotland.
The old drawbridge and the newly completed concrete bridge over the Saint Johns River at DeLand in Volusia County, Florida. Shot in early morning Fog. The fate of the old bridge is still unknown.
