Truro Township, Ohio Fire Department Engine 162
2003 KME Excel (1500/750)
Formerly served as Engine 161 and later as the reserve engine. This unit was involved in a crash in 2019. The department decided to both repair and refurbish the apparatus and return it service as Engine 162. The ALF then took over reserve duties.
This is one of the Traction Engines that visited the Isle of Man over the weekend 22.04.17 I have created this HDR photo.
first successful day with the welding glass filter. very hit and miss and all done "by ear" so to speak. thats the kind of photography i enjoy to be honest, guessing exposures etc. quite happy with the results, bring on the waterfalls next.
the sky was a bit still for my liking. think i managed to shake of the green cast better with this one than previous attempts
On Monday, May 30, 1988, we began the long trek home as VIA Rail Canada's Atlantic, train 11, departed Halifax, Nova Scotia at 12:35.
By around 17:00, we had entered New Brunswick, and paused at the station at Moncton for a 20-minute servicing and crew change stop. During the stop, I snapped a couple photos, though I have no memory of this whatsoever. My guess, since no headlight is displayed on VIA Budd car 6139, that this consist is headed eastward (away from me) on train 614 between Saint John and Halifax.

In the Steam Expo Parade of Canadian and U.S. steam locomotives at the 1986 World Exposition on Transportation and Communication (Expo 86), a World's Fair held in Vancouver, BC, Canada. This is one of 17 photos.

New Rocker cover and VTEC solenoid cap went on this week. Thought i'd get an up to date pic of what the bay looks like.
The old engine room next to the Ardnamurchan Lighthouse. The engines were used to produced the air for the fog horn which is located at the base of the lighthouse. Although now the fog horn and engines no longer operate the room is open to the public to view. This is my first time I have done HDR indoors so somewhat of an experiment for me.

RD16729. Question: When is a Kerr Stuart 'Brazil Class' 0-4-2ST not a Kerr Stuart 'Brazil Class'?
Answer: When it's a Hunslet 'Brazil Class' 0-4-2ST!
Kerr Stuart were declared bankrupt in 1930, and the Hunslet Engine Company bought the goodwill, designs, spare parts etc. so when Brazil Class TRANGKIL No. 4 was built in 1971 for the Trangkil Sugar Mill in Java, it was built by Hunslets in Leeds, not Kerr Stuart in Stoke-on-Trent.
Interestingly, it was also the last steam locomotive to be built by Hunslets at works in Jack lane, Leeds. Originally built to the 750mm gauge, it was converted to 2ft gauge by the present owners the Statfold Barn Railway in Staffordshire when they returned it to the U.K. in 2004.
Over the weekend 22nd - 24th June, 2018 however, TRANGKIL No.4 had a trip to the Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales which held a gala to celebrate the 125th birthday of the 1893 built 2-4-0 ST/T Hunslets LINDA and BLANCHE. Lots of other 2ft gauge engines built by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds came to the party, so 'TRANGKIL' was in good company.
In this shot it is seen approaching Porthmadog harbour Station on Friday, 22nd June, 2018. It had been for a trip to Pont Croesor and back on the Welsh Highland Railway.

One of the things about our Statewide Mutual Aid system is that you never know where you might end up. With many large fires burning in Northern California in late July 2015, a Strike Team of Type III Engines was dispatched from Orange County to Northern California.
With the Santa Clara County Fire Department Type III Engines making up a Strike Team and working a fire near Lake Berryessa, and two more Strike Teams of Type III engines from CalFire's Santa Clara Unit working fires to our north, resources were a little low around here.
The Orange County Strike Team was assigned to Cal Fire's Santa Clara Unit to provide coverage. Two of their engines had been working a fire in the hills above Saratoga on Friday evening and again on Saturday.
Which brings us to this unusual site... on Saturday afternoon, an Orange County Type III Wildland Engine (Engine 356) sitting on the apron at Saratoga Fire Station!

The 2035 ban on the sale of new cars with internal combustion engines is often criticized as a misguided decision. A central argument is the lack of technological openness. Critics of the ban point out that the exclusive focus on electromobility ignores other promising alternatives such as synthetic fuels (e-fuels) or hydrogen technologies. For example, e-fuels could represent a climate-friendly solution for existing vehicles, thereby having a much greater impact than the sole transition to electric cars. Furthermore, the production of e-fuels is generally carbon-neutral, as carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere during their production. A technology-agnostic approach would enable engineers and the industry to develop the most efficient and sustainable solutions instead of being limited to a single, politically mandated option.
Another crucial point of criticism is the dependency on global supply chains and scarce resources. The production of batteries for electric vehicles requires a large amount of critical raw materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. These raw materials are often mined under environmentally damaging and ethically questionable conditions, and the supply chains are dominated by a few countries. A one-sided focus on electromobility could therefore lead to new geopolitical dependencies and bottlenecks. In addition, the energy supply for widespread e-mobility is not yet sufficiently secured in many countries. A too-rapid transition could overload the power grid and lead to a greater need for electricity from fossil fuels, which would undermine the desired climate goals.
The German head of Mercedes, Ola Källenius, has also been critical of the rigid focus on the combustion engine ban. He advocates for a reassessment of the decision to strengthen technological openness again. Källenius emphasizes that the internal combustion engine could be operated in a climate-neutral way through the use of synthetic fuels and would thus represent an attractive alternative to pure e-mobility. He argues that a technology-agnostic policy would enable manufacturers to develop innovative solutions and find the best ways to decarbonize transport. From his perspective, the combustion engine ban is an unnecessary restriction that weakens the innovative power of the European automotive industry and jeopardizes its competitiveness against other markets. He suggests that politicians should re-evaluate the situation to ensure that the best and most efficient technologies for reducing CO2 emissions are used.
