Engineer Pass is a beautiful drive. The first 7 miles on the Ouray side is really rough. This is where he gets easy. This is highway driving in the mountains. This is unusual for the road to be this wide, but it's a nice relaxing drive.
An easier way to get to the to the top of Engineer Pass is to go to Animas forks and take the North Cutoff road that bypasses the rougher sections of Engineer.

This is yet another quirky feature of our delightfully quirky village. The club's existed for over 70 years and kids of all ages up to 90+ love it. Several members are known even to have reproduced.
They have these open days once a month from Spring to Autumn, when families can go to picnic in a small meadow and have kids' parties plus train rides all afternoon for a fiver. I reckon there were 500-600 people there yesterday. That's how they finance the club which occupies land that would be worth a couple of million quid for development, easy.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." ~Jeremiah 29:11
Engineered and manufactured in America by Baldwin Locomotive Works. This is the first drive wheel in a set of four from a Baldwin steam locomotive know as the Northern class locomotive. This system of main rods, control arms, side rods, coupling rods, and linkages synchronizes valves and pistons which controls the direction and power output of the locomotive.
This wheel is know as a BoxPox wheel. A Boxpox is a steam locomotive wheel that gains its strength through being made of a number of box sections rather than having traditional solid spokes (the name is a variation on "box-spoke"). Being hollow, they allow better counterbalancing than conventional drivers, which is important for fast locomotives.
This is still in the first 8 miles of Engineer Pass on the Ouray side.
Many of my photos of Engineer don't look like it is very hard. My photos tend to flatten out the rough spots, and of those are on 90 degree turns which make it hard to detect the best line to drive on.
If you zoom on the road you can see it is rough.

This is one of my favourite traction engines. Whilst most are fabulously painted in 'show' condition this one is maintained in its worn and aged condition. This is the real workhorse. It is named "Supremacy"
Engineering works in the Cheltenham area over the weekend of the Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st May resulted in no fewer than six engineers workings returning from the possession to Westbury during the Sunday. The third of these working, 6C20 08:55 Gloucester Yard Junction to Westbury Down Yard, heads south through Rangeworthy in some lovely spring sunshine.

Dean Forest Railway, Parkend Station, at Parkend, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
About this photograph.
The train led by the engine called Swiftsure had arrived at Parkend Station, and the staff operating the train were making preparations for the return journey to Norchard.
Here, one of the engineers is seen refilling the loco’s tank with water. The photograph was converted in Adobe Lightroom into black and white for a classic feel to the engineer doing the work.
Swiftsure is a Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class of steam locomotive designed by Hunslet Engine Company. This engine was built in 1943, and bears the number 75008 painted on the side.
It was a visiting steam loco, having visited before in 2017 and 2018, she was back at Dean Forest Railway from June 2021 onwards. At the current time of writing, she is reported to be still operational.
My best friend and I were at Dean Forest for a weekdays holiday, and she wanted to have more day outs rather than being stuck at the cabin, so I came up with two different day out ideas. The visit to the Dean Forest Railway was one of the ideas, and my best friend enjoyed the rides.
I took the opportunity to try to find some interesting shots, rather than taking memorable photos of the holiday.
About the overall subject.
The Dean Forest Railway is a 4 to 5 miles long heritage railway, still running vintage steam, and classic diesel trains, as a tourist attraction in the Forest of Dean.
It started in 1799 as an idea for a horse-drawn tramway, linking the Forest of Dean to the rivers Severn and Wye, for the transportation of coal and iron materials.
Between 1800 to around the 1870s, it went through so many processes. Like building lines and branching out, changing company names, financial problems, rival companies, converting from horse-drawn tramway into steam powered railway, merging companies, change of railway gauge sizes, and so many other factors.
It became known as the Severn and Wye Railway during those years.
From around the 1870s onwards, in order to cope with financial difficulties, and to help with funding, they started fee-paying passenger services in addition to the goods carrying services. But ongoing financial problems, lack of traffic, and many other factors, continued up until around the 1940s.
After the Second World War (1939-1945), the railways in this area started to go downhill, mainly due ot declining coal industry in the area, lack of passengers, improvements in transportation elsewhere, and the nationalised of British railways.
Many stations and lines started closing down, or completely shut down, during the 1950s and 1960s.
Starting from the early 1970s onwards, a railway preservation society was formed to try to buy and save as much of the old railway, and run it as a heritage railway for tourism, and was then named as Dean Forest Railway.
At the current moment, the Dean Forest Railway is approximately between 4 to 5 miles long between Lydney and Parkend, with Norchard station as its home base, but they are hoping to extend the line to 7 miles in near future.
They run a range of mostly steam trains to 1960s diesel trains, with various carriages, and at least 5 stations.
For more details, simply Google “Dean Forest Railway” for history or for visiting.

The Model 770 Amphicar (seen on the left side of the photograph above) was named after its ability to achieve speeds of seven knots in the water and 70 mph on land. 3,878 Amphicars were manufactured in Germany from 1961 to 1968. During that time 3,046 were imported into the United States. The Amphicar is rear-engined and uses a 4-cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43 hp. All Amphicars are convertibles, offered to civillians in four colors; Beach White, Regatta Red, Lagoon Blue, and Fjord Green (Aqua). Two American Presidents owned Amphicars; Jimmy Carter and Lyndon B. Johnson. President Johnson would invite friends and even foreign dignitaries to his Texas ranch for a joyride in his car.
Today, the Boathouse Orlando at Disney Springs is the only place in the world that offers the unforgettable & thrilling experience of a Captain’s Guided Tour in a vintage Amphicar. These rare cars drive on land and enter the water with a splash, taking you on a Captain Guided, 25-minute tour of the landmarks of Disney Springs. Their fleet of Amphicars were purchased from private collections worldwide – and less than 400 exist worldwide today.

My Dad is an engineer, really good at planning. The first three kids were born with perfect spacing--precisely 2 years, 8 months and 4 days apart. Then an unexpected reaction to a prescription boosted Mom's fertility, and an unplanned fourth kid came along--"little Robin", ten years younger than myself.
While in the womb, we jokingly referred to her as "Roscoe" (a character on "77 Sunset Strip"). She may have been the result of a busted plan, but she was everyone's favorite family member.
Now--Mom's a little under the weather, and Robin's presence seems like the master gambit in an inspired strategy: why not have an Emergency Room nurse daughter live around the corner in your Golden Years?
Better yet, add the Physician Assistant daughter just down the road. And the icing on the cake?--keep the journalism siblings about a 100 miles north up the freeway.
It's a wonderful irony when the unplanned youngster child is the glue that holds the family together. When I phone and talk to the folks these days, I always end up asking, "well, has Robin dropped by yet today?"
"Oh yes," Mom replies, "what would we do without her?" Indeed. Sometimes the best laid plans go awry, to the benefit of all. Deal!

No. 7 Chattenden is six-coupled machine was built by E. E. Baguley at Burton-on-Trent in 1949 to the order of the Drewry Car Company and is now fitted with a Gardner engine developing 150 h.p. Originally it worked on the Admiralty’s Upnor and Lodge Hill Railway then later transferred to Broughton Moor, Cumbria. Capable of working passenger trains in an emergency, the locomotive is normally used for the heavier civil engineering works trains.
