SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
Watching the Super Tuesday primary/caucus results tonight, and also checking the coolant level in my car. I got a warning a couple days ago that the level was low in the coolant expansion tank, so I topped it up and things seem to be holding.
Muscatine, Iowa is a beehive of industrial activity on the Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern Railroad. Once said to be the biggest source of traffic on the Rock Island Railroad outside Chicago, this small Mississippi River city has a couple small yards and hosts several daily industrial switch engine assignments.
Muscatine – Culver Tower, to be exact – was the point at which the joint Rock Island/Milwaukee line from the Quad Cities split into the two railroads' respective routes to Kansas City. Today, DM&E operates on the former joint track to the north and the former Rock Island to the south.
Here we see IC&E 4202 awaiting its next assignment on an industrial spur not far from the site of Culver Tower. The spur wends its way through a residential neighborhood en route to a steel plant, trains running literally feet from its neighbors' back yard grills, lawn furniture, and childrens' swimming pools.
Here are a few pics of an engine casualty we had a while back. We spun a couple of main bearings (which then fried and melted to the crank and rods) and broke the oil pump. One of the pistons overheated and caused the liner o-rings to fail, which then flooded the crankcase with coolant.
this is the engine shed of the snailbeach district railway , a 2 and 3/4 inch system serving the local lead mines
built in 1877 it was last used in 1950 , when the last 2 locos were cut up outside the shed--the tracks can still just be seen in the grass
from 1923 until a few years before closure it was part of the empire of minor railways administered by the famous colonel Holman fred stephens---the shed has been restored and like so many things today has acquired cctv--perhaps the colonel would have approved !
The San Francisco Fire Department lost two of its members from Engine Company 26, who were both critically injured during an explosion while bravely fighting a house fire in the Diamond Heights neighborhood on June 2, 2011. Both died at the hospital as a result of their injuries after all rescussitative measures were taken by the Emergency Trauma staff at San Francisco General Hospital.
Days later firefighters from around California and around the country gathered to pay their respects during a funeral service. In this sequence we see some of the equipment from Santa Clara County forming up to join in a procession after the services.
Santa Clara County Engine 301 is a Type III wildland/urban interface engine built in 2009 by Placer Fire Equipment on an International Navistar 7400 4x4 4-Door Cab and Chassis

Middleton Top is the last surviving complete winding engine house, built by the Cromford and High Peak Railway Company. It sat on the 3rd of 9 incline planes rising from High Peak Junction on the Cromford Canal, and lifted the line a further 252ft beyond the others to nearly 1,000ft above sea level.
It was built by the Butterley Company in 1829 and the building was used until 1963. It's now normally in steam, monthly during the summer months, although not when we visited, as the boiler house was being rebuilt. Inside are the original pair of beam engines.
"Zambezi" (nearest camera) stands on the spur at Swanton Crossing as "Limpopo" heads a goods train along the main line.
