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.

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.

Just after midday and I catch one of two northbound Engineers trains. The first one I catch at Greenholme with 66523 heading up Shap with 5Y53, Oubeck Loop - Carlisle on Sunday 14th May 2017
What a great day and time yesterday. The Stewart J Cort came into the Poe lock while we could walk over into the lock area.
A 50 / 50 chance of seeing this which paid off today as both 66779 and 66762 were at Toton this morning.

British Rail 'research' liveried 69004 'RIDC Melton' eases past the site of Belper Goods Yard on 25th June 2026 with the early running 7M18 07:19 Doncaster Up Decoy to Toton North Yard engineers train.
Although the name of the once-thriving goods yard lives on with the nearby industrial estate for various businesses, it ceased railfreight operations around 1969 as road transport started to take over.

I've mentioned before how friendly train staff are in America. Look carefully and you can see the engineer / driver returning our wave when he saw photos being taken. As so often there were also a couple of 'hello' blasts on the horn : )
FURX 5520 leads BNSF 2020 as they haul a freight from LyondellBasell's Equistar chemical plant outside Matagorda, TX. It is probably heading for the docks at Corpus Christi.
For the rail aficionados - FURX 5520 is a rebuilt GP38-2 locomotive. The unit was originally built as Norfolk & Western 4140, a GP38AC, in September 1971. The "FU" stands for "First Union" though that company was taken over by Wells Fargo Rail late in 2015. That is a leasing company based in Illinois.

-(BTS) Behind-The-Scenes -
It was another day of eager anticipation on set of The Captain and the Engineer. Very recently, word had gone out that new scripts had been written which were due any day now! Additionally, new sets were being made and new costumes had been brought in! Some of the characters were even getting updated looks! Who wouldn't be excited?!
Just a few minutes ago, Logan (who starred as Damien) had been pulled into the Costume Department to get fitted for new green screen sleeves for his arm. It left his brother, Corry, and brother-in-law, Vin (who starred as Aiden and Vincent, respectively), to head off to the Props Department alone to see what else had been brought in! Vin had seen some interesting looking items being unloaded from the truck. He was curious and roped his husband to come along with him to check them out!
"Oh, my Gods!" Vin laughed as he stood at the door and stared around at all the new props. His eyes were drawn to a pair of fairy wings to his right. He immediately pulled them on and began flitting around the room with giddy laughter and zero fucks!
Meanwhile, Corry grinned with amusement and began inspecting everything! He recognized some props that had already been used and some that he knew would be used soon. Then he saw one that he KNEW would never be used on The Captain and the Engineer but he couldn't resist...
"Baby, how do I look?!"
Vin turned around suddenly to see his husband standing there with a violently pink faux fur around his shoulders and devil horns atop his head! Vin had to admit that Corry really rocked the pink...but Gods noooooo!
"Oh, you look faaabulous, daaaaahhhhhling!" Vin exclaimed with an accented drawl before breaking into laughter at the ridiculousness! As Corry joined in the laughter he reached out and placed a small cartoonish crown atop Vin's head and grinned cheesily and teased, "I bet that would look fabulous with Cap'n's ballroom getup!"
Vin reached up and adjusted the crown as he snickered, "Absolutely fabulous! I think I'll bring it with me when we start shooting the ballroom scenes!"
"You should! Ha! That would make a funny outtake! I can see you just dancing and acting normal as if nothing were amiss! No one will be able to keep a straight face but you! Oh but before they start filming the masquerade..." And Corry's voice turned just a touch suggestive as he slid the horrendous pink horns and faux fur off. "I heard it through the grapevine, but did you hear about that scene coming up next?"
Vin waggled his eyebrows with a smirk before saying, "Oh, yeah, I heard. A little sneaky preview of what's to come, yes?"
"Uh huh! But after that the story is going to progress and soon we'll be ready for the masquerade! I'm excited! It's finally here!"
"I knoooooow! Just as soon as the-”
"ATTENTION, CREWMATES!" came the sudden call on the intercom for everyone to hear. It was their director! Vin and Corry stared at each other with wide eyes and held their breath. "THE TIME WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR HAS COME! THE SCRIPTS ARE IN AND THERE WILL BE A READ THROUGH AT 3PM WITH THE MAIN CAST! ALL OTHER DEPARTMENTS PLEASE GET WITH YOUR DEPARTMENT HEAD FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS! THANK YOU!"
Corry and Vin's cheers joined the chorus of cheering that rang throughout the whole area. Everyone's excitement was palpable!
"Come on, Corry! Let's go get our hands on those scripts!"
"Wait, you're going like that?"
Vin was still standing there with the wings and crown on! Yet, Vin quirked his brow up at him. He didn't even need to say anything! Corry was already laughing as he slid his arm around his shoulders and began walking out with him.
"My bad! I forgot who I was talking to!"
"Yeah, your bad." Vin told him with a huff before grinning and nudging his husband's side. "Allons-y! To the writing room!"

There are a number of processes that take place in deserts that will cause exposed skulls and other bones to decompose. Decomposition is not limited to biological means though these may play a role in many desert conditions. Deserts are typically not entirely without moisture, but rather have less than some arbitrary amount. Studies in the deserts of the southwestern US have shown that typically within one year of death, the initial stages of bone deterioration will take place, often as a result of bleaching due to sunlight, leading to embrittlement and exfoliation of bony material. Other processes, including the erosive effects of wind, can accelerate the decay. But it is not possible to give a single answer for the time required for a given bone to “decompose” since there are ranges of factors to take into account.
