Christ the Redeemer (Portuguese: Cristo Redentor, standard Brazilian Portuguese: is an Art Deco statue of Jesus Christ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, created by French sculptor Paul Landowski and built by the Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa, in collaboration with the French engineer Albert Caquot. Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida fashioned the face. The statue is 30 metres (98 ft) tall, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal, and its arms stretch 28 metres (92 ft) wide.[1][2]
The statue weighs 635 metric tons (625 long, 700 short tons), and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city of Rio. A symbol of Christianity across the world, the statue has also become a cultural icon of both Rio de Janeiro and Brazil, and is listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.[3] It is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, and was constructed between 1922 and 1931.
Having been given permission back out onto the main, the engineer on the "Rosario Local" throttles up his two SD40s while the brakeman waits to re-line the derail once the short train is clear. They've just finished switching Nustar Asphalt, which can be seen in the far right of this shot. This track is part of the pre-1966 AT&SF alignment, which generally followed the Rio Galisteo from near its confluence with the Rio Grande towards Lamy.
This was the culmination of a one year long desire and about a four hour wait. I had seen this shot in my head ever since beginning my time qualifying out of Albuquerque, but it was either "they don't run up here anymore" or (once regular, predictable service resumed) I was always working when this job was working. Everything fell together today though, and it was worth waiting for!

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.

The Claymills Victorian pumping station is keen to encourage the next generation of engineers. This young man took us down to the the space above the boilers and explained the restoration project he was working on with his team .
This is an old one from the vault. He was a regular personality who rode his tricycle fitted with a mock-up steam engine around the ByWard Market. Haven't seen him around for over 5yrs.
Note: Rocky Mountain is at the old location of ByWard Market.

Sometimes my mind goes blank when it comes to titles. This title is referring to a review of the lens I was using for this photo. In this review they call this Leica Elmarit 60 mm f2.8 lens for a soulful engineer. I think it is quite fitting to this photo which I actually think have some soul to it. What do you think?
As always, thank you for your faves, comments and views!

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.

Posing in front of the Polar Bear Express is engineer Rob Selman, on ONT 1808 which is painted in the Every Child Matters paint, painted in honour of the Indigenous Children and Indigenous People.

the universe is built from simple things.
a single thread, drawn from nothing.
a patient waiting. a precise geometry.
from this, a world is spun.
a map of forces, a trap for the unwary,
a fragile, shimmering home.
it is the work of a silent engineer,
drawing a new reality
out of the darkness.
From Engineer Pass (el. 12,800 ft) on the Alpine Loop in the San Juan Mountains, the view to the north east is dominated by (from left to right) Wetterhorn Peak (14, 021 ft), Matterhorn (13,590 ft) Peak and Uncompahgre Peak (14,321 ft).
The engineer is throttling up UP 7052, resulting a bit of extra exhaust being kick up as the MNYGJ starts to bit into the roughly 2% grade on the climb to Big Ten Curve. This is the first daylight run of the MNYGJ on the east slope of the Moffat that I have seen in just over a year. The train almost always departs North Yard in the darkest hours of the night.

On August 31st, 2023, well known railroader Mike Del Vecchio passed away after a battle with cancer. Although I didn't know Mike too well personally, I never heard a bad word spoken about him. Seen here is him posing as the engineer on #4109 during the United Railroad Historical Society's photo shoot in Boonton.

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.
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.

The engineer of the OL-3 has just fired up C430 #431 and is performing his inspection at the Western New York & Pennsylvania shops in Olean. There are only 5 C430s still in existence, and the WNYP/LA&L family owns 4 of them. Standing by are RS3M #406 and various M636s, along with the railroad's lone C630M and M630. With no train over the mountain to the NS interchange that day, we had to settle for OL-1 and OL-3. Scenes like this will soon be a memory as the WNYP converts to EMD power. Many of the 6 axle units, and the RS3M, have already been sold off.

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.
