On a snowy January afternoon,VIA train 73, led by an LRC engine, gets underway after doing its station work at London, Ontario.
The structure behind the engine is the CN's London office building. This building was later closed and was subsequently imploded in a controlled demolition.
A mere few days after this photograph was taken, Canada's government demolished VIA passenger service by cutting approximately 50% of the existing service. The cutbacks allowed retiring many of the older engines and most of the ex-CN blue rolling stock like the equpment on this train.

This fantastic album of photos is compiled from shots taken by Joan and Huw Thomas at an Engine gig at The Woughton Centre in Milton Keynes on 21/04/1989. The pictures truly capture the essence of an excellent Engine live performance.
(Many thanks to Joan and Huw Thomas, and to Simon Berry at Engine's Facebook website, for these pictures, which can also be viewed individually at the Facebook site).

This New Hampshire Central engine sits in Hazen's and awaits its next assignment. While much of the railroad infrastructure that once crisscrossed northern NH is now a memory, the NHC still provides service to a few locations. The granite milepost next to the engine indicates the distance to Portland and St. Johnsbury.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871), computer pioneer, designed the first automatic computing engines. He invented computers but failed to build them. The first complete Babbage Engine was completed in London in 2002, 153 years after it was designed. Difference Engine No. 2, built faithfully to the original drawings, consists of 8,000 parts, weighs five tons, and measures 11 feet long.
Carb's off, one valve cover's off, and the smog pump's out.

This must be about fourty years old now. Not exactly in regular use, but ten years ago, when this was taken, it was still capable of humming along.
A podracer engine I'm working on. I'm looking for constructive feedback. I don't want to say what my theme is, but I'm trying not to use any colors, and I'm kind of going for a minimalist/streamlined look. I've discovered that it is hard to do "minimalist/streamlined" without straying into "boring" territory. The other side of the engine is not finished, but I'm planning on just having the power coupling with a small patch of greebling next to it. Thanks!
