“The way I see it, hard times aren't only about money,
or drought,
or dust.
Hard times are about losing spirit,
and hope,
and what happens when dreams dry up.”

Brittle stars, an alternate common name is the 'serpent stars', are a species-rich class of echinoderms with outstanding regenerative abilities. Living under rocks or in crevices with only the tips of the arms exposed, they are known to be seafloor ecosystem engineers. They reshape the seafloor sediment surface and influence the distribution of other seafloor species. They also provide nutrition to fish, sea stars and crab predators.
Their presence in a sediment sample is one indicator of a healthy benthic community. They embody nature's fragility and resilience.

The title refers to the only engineer's name that I automatically recall from a classic Dr Who episode. Unfortunately Engineer Eckersley was a bad 'un, in league other bad 'uns to steal the valuable mining deposits.

Note: Rocky Mountain is at the old location of ByWard Market.

Having dropped the ballast overnight, 70810 sits silently at Alvechurch station, with fellow classmate 70814 on the opposite end. Locos along the Redditch branch, aside from the test train, are a rarity, with these two being the first Class 70s on the branch, to my knowledge.
Utah Railway engineer Stu Turner commands the controls of the RUT311 local as it rumbles into North Salt Lake, Utah, on May 15, 2012. Stu was one of the kindest railroaders I've ever met, offering a friendly wave or a trackside chat. He was tragically taken from us in July 2020 due to brain cancer.

I went for a bike ride this morning and passed the site of the old Totley Tunnel Box around the same time as an engineers train having run from the Huddersfield area. First time I've seen the new livery in action.

'The Institute of Mining Engineers North West Railtour' originated at Crewe and took in ICI Winnington, Hindlow, Buxton, Kelbits Branch, Bickershaw Colliery, Parkside Colliery and Fiddlers Ferry.
We photographed at Kelbits, Bickershaw Colliery and here at Parkside Colliery and it was a tight run thing, a slick opreration no messing about.
Traction throughout was 37706 'Conidae' & 47479 'Track 29' seen here about to depart from Parkside at 17..00 September 21st 1991. Picture taken from the treeless (at the time) M6 embankment.
* At its peak Parkside employed 1800 and potentially 100 million tons of coal were identified. All that of course is history, closure came in March 1993 realising only a fraction of that total. Parkside was the last Pit to close from the once vast Lancashire Coalfield. Nothing remains, to stand here today all you would see is just a forest of trees.

Winter presents all kinds of interesting challenges as a photographer. The cold, snow, and ice all provide risks and rewards. I decided to brave those elements recently and hiked through a foot of powder to the top of a ridge near Durango, Colorado. My reward was quite special. The last light of the day kissed the top of 12,968 ft. Engineer Mountain while the soft pink light at the end of the day illuminated the snow below in Animas Valley.
