Engineer Mountain is adorned in its autumn coat while reflecting in Boyce Lake. Engineer Mountain is an iconic peak in Colorado's San Juan Mountains north of Durango.
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.

La 741-104 di STRABAG Rail è qui ripresa nei pressi di Církvice (CZ), con un treno di tramogge cariche di pietrisco da utilizzare per i lavori sul binario attiguo.
STRABAG Rail 741-104 is seen here near Církvice, Czech Republic, whilst working an engineers' train for the works ongoing on the other track.

The weird center exits the Village of Oak Park forced on the traffic engineers when they were building the Eisenhower Expressway in the 1950s also forced the engineers to shift the location of the tracks for the CTA Blue Line they were building simultaneously. The Blue Line was designed to run down the center of the highway, but that's where the Village of Oak Park wanted the exits. This forced the Blue Line tracks to shift to the outside, so that they run along the highway's south side for a few miles.
Here, you can see the view down onto the tracks from the Circle Avenue overpass one block inside the Village of Forest Park. The Blue Line is passing under tracks that I think belong to Union Pacific, then will shift right to pass over the Eisenhower to get to the end of the line at the Forest Park Station, which is on the north side of the highway. This makes me wonder why they didn't shift the tracks north of the highway to begin with, as that would have saved them a bridge.
Edit: I never used to make Explore back in the old days, but it seems that in my absence something about my photography has evolved to move closer to the flickr algorithm, and here I am!
This was my Dad's, SSG James E Foreman, Unit Crest/Coat of Arms for when he was with the "Big Red 1" VII Corp 1st Infantry Division, Company A of the 298th Combat Engineer Combat Battalion.
My Dad went in on Omaha Beach, later he fought in the Battle of the Bulge and in the Ardennes, plus he went in to relieve the 101st Airborne at Bastogne.
On the last flight of Concorde, when the flight was at full speed that little gap expands to be able to put your whole fist in. The Flight engineer stuck his hat in there before they were landing and it is stuck there forever more.
Northbound Alaska Railroad train 235N, the once a week Winter Aurora passenger train, has a baggage car, diner, and two coaches trailing a pair of SD70MACs as they step out over the mighty Tanana River on the Mears Memorial Bridge. The 700 ft long span designed by Modjeski and Angier and built by the American Bridge Company and is one of the longest simple thru truss spans in the world. It was the final link in the Alaska Railroad upon completion in 1923 and President Warren Harding traveled here, the first president to ever visit Alaska, to drive the golden spike at the north end of this bridge on July 15, 1923. The bridge is named for Colonel Frederick Mears of the Alaska Engineering Commission who served as chief engineer of the Alaska Railroad's construction. To learn more about Col. Mears check out this link: www.alaskahistory.org/biographies/mears-frederick/
The Tanana is one of Alaska's great rivers flowing 584 miles from the eastern edge of the state before emptying into the Yukon River. Take note of the black and white tripod with the flag sitting on the ice in the river. Since 1917 that has been Alaska's own unique version of the lottery when railroad workers revived an older practice of betting on the exact time the Tanana River ice will break up here. Today individuals throughout Alaska (and by mail from elsewhere) purchase tickets betweenn February 1 through April 5 of each year. You write in the exact date and time you think the tripod will move. It has a line extending to a tower on sure with a clock in it and once the tripod moves about 100 ft it will snap the line and stop the clock. Last years jackpot was over $220,000 and if you care to learn more or make a wager before it's too late check out this site for more info:

31452 with an engineers train amongst the charming surroundings of Embsay station on Fri 31st January 2025.

Theodore Judah, the chief engineer of the Central Pacific, was told of a route used by emigrants over the Sierra that followed an unbroken granite ridge from the summit west to the headwaters of the North Fork of the American River and a descending path to the Central Valley of California. Investigation proved the route was feasible for the proposed transcontinental railroad and 150 miles shorter than surveys that avoided such a direct crossing. In order to meet the western edge of the unbroken ridge at Emigrant Gap the survey for the Central Pacific climbs east from near sea level at Roseville in the Central Valley to more than 1000 feet above the water of the American River. The vista along the Central Pacific from the north edge of the American River Canyon between the stations of Midas and Gorge was so spectacular that successor Southern Pacific built a viewing platform at a new station named “American” and stopped passenger trains for 5 minutes to allow passengers to view it. During the Depression the additional sightseeing stop was eliminated. Today, only the spectacular view remains.
An eastbound Union Pacific stack climbs along the edge of the American River Canyon at what was the station of “American” in the last light of a September afternoon. The engineer gets a priceless view of the canyon and the American River 1000 feet below.
Dark days -
Well as the second day without heating progresses - it's time to start wearing a hat indoors.
Fortunately the UK is undergoing a "warm" spell and the outside temperature is 12C, indoors it has dropped to 14C (mainly as a result of having open and close doors as we go about the day to day business of life).
My 99 year old mother-in-law feels the cold badly and normally has her part of the house at 30C has been complaining about the cold. She doesn't seem to remember that the heating is broken for more than about 30 minutes - so she is repeatedly asking me to "turn the heating up", (An electric fan heater is no substitute for a couple of big central heating radiators).
Hopefully the engineer will get the heating back on soon.
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
70805 passes the gorse bushes as it heads away from Chippenham with 6M50 0755 Westbury to Bescot engineers on 27th April 2017.
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.

2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
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.

A rather plain looking workboat with an interesting back story. One of the last vessels built at the Robb Caledon Shipyard in Dundee during 1981 but built as the ferry Tyne Countess. Only in 2017 was it bought and reworked into its current guise, MMS Humber Engineer.
