Walking the terraced face of Toyon Canyon Landfill in Griffith Park yesterday. The entire canyon was a dump site for Los Angeles garbage from 1957 to 1985. 30,700,000 cubic yards of trash is buried here; an estimated 16,000,000 tons. The terraced face is engineered like a 500 foot high dam. There are 200 gas wells collecting methane which is used to operate a power generation facility. Other pipes and ducts manage wastewater which must be filtered and treated before channeled into the concrete canyon of the nearby Los Angeles river. The grass is green this time of year.

So I've had this one done for awhile. It's like a mashup of the BF3 and BF4 engineer class. I'll have a separate picture of his gun as well. Inspirations will be added. Comments and Criticism are welcome. Kthxbai
The view from the top of Engineer Pass is just amazing. Engineer Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 12,800 feet (3.901 m), located in the San Juan Mountains near Ouray, Colorado. It’s one of Colorado's most scenic offroad drives and is one of the highest mountain passes of Colorado. Russian born engineer Otto Mears iso credited for building the road known as Engineer Pass. Completed after 1877 this toll road was a major route connecting Silverton, Animas Forks, Ouray and Lake City together.
Engineer John Teshara is all smiles as backs Southern Pacific steam locomotive #2472 down the track at Niles Canyon for a photo runby. John was a fireman on this very locomotive in the 1950's when it pulled commuter trains from San Jose to San Francisco. Niles Canyon is located near the city of Sunol, California.

An extremely grimy 56051 "Survival" and 56049 "Robin of Templecombe", from their recent duties on rail head treatment circuits, pass through Bescot Stadium station working 0Z30 Bescot Up Engineers Sidings to Coleham Civil Engineers Sidings
Although its 6.30 in the morning, before Corvid on a weekday the station at Manningtree would by busy with commuters and the car park filling up. However just myself and another enthusiast are on the platform when 37425 brings the return Hockley to Whitemoor engineers through with the JJR Autoballesters. The sun is head on at this time in the morning but the sight and sound of 37425 opening up aftter being stopped in the platform was worth the early morning bike ride.

Goodness knows how many years this ancient winch has been on the quayside at Charlestown's outer harbour, but it has certainly hauled in its last cargo.
Charlestown, which is near St Austell, grew out of a small fishing village called West Polmear (also West Porthmear). It was developed in the Georgian era (specifically from 1790 when work on building the outer quay began to 1799 when the first dock gates were erected) as a new town, and named after local landowner Charles Rashleigh who had a hand in its design. The works were to the plans of England's first recognised civil engineer, John Smeaton. It was built to facilitate the transport of copper from nearby mines but its main function became the export of china clay from the region's quarries.

I followed a younger couple down towards the falls. They had a couple of bags with them. I was a little surprised to spy that one was filled with logs. It was cold, and blustery, the drizzle just about holding off. It certainly wasn't ideal conditions for photography. No sunlight. Just grey: which I like! They seemed to watch me suspiciously trailing behind them. The fire was already lit by the time I reached the flat spot of grass above the Loup of Fintry, some spectacular falls which are only just becoming better known to the wider public and Insta types.
The man, Jason, 40, (Top, left) was contemplating removing his clothes to get in the 'dip' pool. He was a member of the Polar Club, a group who go cold water dipping all over the place. His ex girl-friend told me he was a chimney sweep. but I suspect on his Linkedin it said he was a heating engineer (isn't it amazing how people pump themselves up on Linkedin?). The Polar Club is all about heart rate and easing muscles. Neither his ex girlfriend or myself believed him that the water was 'lovely' , come on in, even if he was correct that it was +8 deg C. The windchill was ffffffreezing. We definitely weren't going to try it for ourselves.
Anyhow, Jason was keen to get a photo of him dipping for his male escort profile portfolio. From my point of view, I must say the Loup of Fintry falls must be some of the most photographically interesting waterfalls I have seen in this country, well worth visiting, although ideally with some sunlight, which needs to be late afternoon so that the rays reach over the hill at the back. Pictured is just the upper layer of waterfalls. There are at least three more layers below this.
Judging by floor damage, it appears this shack has seen a substantial amount of roof leakage, the floor boards creaked, bowed and even made snapping noised! Vines where littered across every inch of this location, and also many leaves.

Matt Hauser invited me up to the cab of the more than 100 year old Heisler logging locomotive that powered the Durbin Rocket, a scenic railroad in West Virginia. He happily posed for this picture in the engineer' seat.
Mikey is posting one of my 80s pix! Fittingly, my fam gave me a pic scanner today, on Father"s Day.
This is a photo of Conrail WAMI-2 (taken 3-17-87). Unfortunately, this job was one of the first that Conrail began operating with a two man crew (no brakeman). MI-2 worked out of Middleboro, heading to N. Bedford M-W-F and Fall River Tu-Th days. (MI-1 went to Attleboro Sun-Thu nights, MI-3 to Braintree Mon-Fri days).
Posing for the pic that day was my late Dad, conductor Bill Matta Jr (Left), who originally hired out w/ the New Haven RR at Taunton Yard) & his engineer, Hubba Ryan (Right), who trained as a fireman with my Grandpa, Bill Matta Sr., on the New Haven RR, A couple of months later I would begin my own railroad career.
Happy Father's Day to everyone!
Gbrf`s 66747 "Made in Sheffield" passes Askham Bog with 6G80 the Colton/Holgate sidings to Tyne S.S. engineers 25/06/2023.
Engineer Steve Harner gives the group of us gathered next to the infamous KCS Crew Lake trestle a thumbs up as the 2024 CPKC holiday express blasts across at track speed. A noon time departure from Vicksburg, Ms, for the evenings showing in Monroe, La, meant there would be beautiful light along the small bayou known as Crew Lake. Crew lake is one of the few locations where the wooden trestles that once dominated the still hold on along the main. This shot was one of the must have locations both directions on the 2024 run. If this was the last year for the current configuration of this train I'm glad it was done well...
Thanks for looking!
