A 50 / 50 chance of seeing this which paid off today as both 66779 and 66762 were at Toton this morning.
BR Green 66779 "Evening Star" approaches Harrowden Junction on it's first run down through my local haunt on the 6G35 - Toton North Yard to Wellingborough Engineers working - 30-07-16
Early running 6K05, the daily DRS Carlisle - Crewe engineers, was put on the up slow at Wigan and halted at Golborne Junction and that is where I caught up with it on my way home. A working only just possible to record locally from this time of year onward it was a bonus when I spotted it was double-headed and I had just enough time to record a couple of frames before it moved off back on booked time.

The US Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility, aka "Research Pier" - an 1840 foot-long pier at Duck, Outer Banks NC.
"the FRF is an internationally-recognized coastal observatory. Instruments at the facility
constantly record the changing waves, winds, tides, and currents. Central to the facility is a
1840 foot long pier"
From frf.usace.army.mil.
In fact, I found the picture of 3 of us standing under the pier taking this picture:

Taken with Pentax 12-24mm lens and B+W 1.8 ND (6 stop) filter long (20 second) exposure. Edited in Lightroom and then exported to Photomatix for some subtle HDR detail, then re-imported to Lightroom for final light/color balance.
It was very unusually cold for North Carolina, and you can see the snow sticking to the sides of some pilings and icicles hanging from the deck. There was also a strong wind on the beach, so I was leaning on the tripod anchored in to the sand during the long exposure to keep it from moving around in the wind (I have a travel tripod from Sirui which is wonderfully compact and light but not ideal for windy beach duty).
The engineer on the morning Woodbridge job moves into the warming sun with a cut of loads out of the General Mills plant in Lodi, Ca., watching the track ahead for the end of the tail track - that ends just about a quarter mile from here in Woodbridge. GP9R 3768 is mated with a trailing geep facing the opposite direction for operation on this out and back branch.
56105 at Green Lane, Darlington on the 5th of March 2025 with a Doncaster to Millerhill Engineers train.
A midweek engineers train. The loco had just run round the wagons and brake vans prior to (presumably) returning to Guide Bridge. I was a few months from becoming train crew at Guide Bridge and I'd already got a good idea about the workings!
Inspired by its Catholic and Lasallian heritage, Lewis University (seen in the upper portion of the photograph above along with the Lewis University Airport) offers a values-centered curriculum, rich in the Mission values of knowledge, fidelity, wisdom, and justice and guided by the spirit of association which fosters community in all teaching, learning and service. Founded in 1932 under the direction of the Chicago Archdiocese and Bishop Bernard J. Sheil, Lewis began as the Holy Name Technical School, a school for boys which opened with 15 students. The school was established on a campus of 170 acres of farmland that was donated to the archdiocese by Michael and Frances Fitzpatrick of Lockport, Illinois. During these early days, aviation technology courses were chosen as the special emphasis of instruction, becoming the origin of today’s highly regarded College of Aviation, Science and Technology. The school was incorporated in 1934 under the name Lewis Holy Name Technical School. In 1935, it became Lewis Holy Name School of Aeronautics, a name which is engraved in stone on the building now known as the Oremus Fine Arts Center.
In the lower portion of the photograph is the Prairie Bluff Golf Course featuring an 18-hole championship designed course decorated with water, prairie grass and manicured bent grass fairways covering 230 acres.
This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365 while landing in Chicago, Illinois on a business trip…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!

73213 & 73206 run through Cosham with a Eastleigh yard to Gatwick engineers on 22 April 2012. This was a lucky sun shot, a few minutes later the skies opened.
I am not normally a fan of cheating (manipulating pictures). But i found a picture on Flickr enhanced by faceapp and decided to give it a go. Here is the result and must admit i find it intriguing and even exhilarating: this is what i could have looked like if i would have dressed the way i dress today at the age of 25... i guess as the original picture is also on flickr, i am not cheating 😋

Ian Whyte as the Last Engineer from Prometheus (2012)
Must have reprinted the decals about 5 times making small alterations, but really pleased with how this one came out.
My 4 years old brother gives me idea to make pliers. When I customing my figures, my brother saw the BrickArms bipod, and said "It's pliers". I explained him there isn't pliers, there is bipod. After that I want make german engineer, and I use my brothers design, so here it is.
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.
33046 sits at Bedhampton in early November 1994 whilst the up line replacement is conducted. This was replaced again in February 2021
The engineer of Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Rotary OY concentrates on the task at hand as the machine removes snow from the narrow gauge right-of-way at Coxo, Colorado, on March 1, 2020. Because of limited visibility from the plow, Engineer Max Casias gets some of his information on how much throttle is needed on the plow by a pilot up front on the right side of the rotary, who happens to be his dad Marvin Casias.
27th August 2008 and more rare moves at Chorley with an engineers train that was being shunted in the station. This was in conjunction with engineering works for the removal of the flying arches towards Preston
Goddard engineer Tom Grubb manipulates a 3D simulation that animated the speed and direction of four million stars in the local Milky Way neighborhood. Goddard astronomer Marc Kuchner and researcher Susan Higashio used the virtual reality program, PointCloudsVR, designed by primary software developer Matthew Brandt, to obtain a new perspective on the stars' motions. The simulation helped them classify star groupings.
Another application developed under Goddard and NASA research and development programs makes designing spacecraft, instruments and repair missions easier, allowing engineers to experience the space before they start to build it.

Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems.
And the problem I solved, is that there wasn't a Engi in my collection!
everything you see is custum painted by me.
I gave him a batman utility belt, and a piece of paper for the top part of his overal.
I also gave him a custum build level 1 sentry.
And I believe that that's all folks!
so grabe your self a cool beer, and let your sentry do the job!
Class 66 , 66592 .From Bescot Engineers sidings to Bletchley. Taken at Whitacre 10.12.22. Velvia 50 pushed to 100.
After working at Coteau and Maxville, CN 589 has come to a stop in the siding at Carlsbad Springs. Engineer J.C Opens the window to talk for a bit while waiting for his Brother, Engr B.C to fly by on VIA 26. They will then take their Slow to Clear signal and head home to Walkley Yard, well ahead of Schedule
66535 heads a collection of JNA ballast wagons through Blaydon station on 3rd January 2016. The Newcastle Carlisle was closed west of Halthwhistle due to engineering work around the Low Row/Brampton area.
This was the second of two workings within an hour carrying used ballast from the possession back to Tyne Yard.
As can be seen dreary damp weather continues to be the order of the day as it has been for most of the Christmas period.
I love how this one came out! It took a lot of hard work. It is loosely based off of the BF3 engineer class. But mainly this fig was built to show off my Ak-47 mod. Enoy!
A Saturday in the Warrington area. Red Bank for 66754 and 66760 on 1Z24. Got done by cloud. 66155 followed it and of course that was in full sun! Then a move to Winwick for the rest of the day. 66620 came on an engineers train, 56087 came light from Carnforth - Carnforth which terminated at Crewe. There was a 5Z07 Crewe Gresty Bridge - Kingmoor. Expected 68001. Came with 66429! Anyway, here is 66620 working the 11:42 Euxton Jn - Crewe Basford Hall past Winwick 30/7/16
It's a summer Friday, and McCloud Railway is running its weekly train east to the BNSF interchange at Lookout, California. The train runs with just engineer Malen Johnson; a helper will drive to Lookout and assist him with the switching moves there. The last 34 miles into Lookout are over BNSF-owned track that is operated and maintained by MR.
When this image was exposed at Bartle siding in August 2001, the future was looking bleak. In a couple of years, BNSF would enter into a haulage agreement with Union Pacific that enabled abandonment of the old Great Northern from Lookout west to Hambone. Traffic off MR for BNSF would go to UP at Mount Shasta, and UP would then turn it over to BNSF at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The last McCloud Railway train to Lookout ran in December 2003.
Ultimately, MR stopped hauling freight entirely in mid-2006. All its trackage east of McCloud is now abandoned and dismantled. For now, BNSF has left a couple miles of the line west of Lookout in place. This spur to nowhere is used periodically for car storage.

Well of Shiuan - book 2 of the Morgaine cycle - C.J. Cherryh [fantasy novel - November 12, 2015 - 0656]
The Morgaine book series by C.J. Cherryh consist of four novels. The second book "Well of Ivrel"(1976) is commented upon in this report.
The following is my synopsis of the back-story for these four novels:
The ancient Qhal Empire expanded and dominated civilizations throughout the Galaxy. The Qhal are human in appearance and can breed, if desired, with other humanoid beings. The teleportation Gates technology the Qhal reversed engineered and utilized for interstellar travel were discovered in ruins on a dead world. The Qhal did not invent the Gates. Using the Gates the ruthless Qhal who despised other "native" beings imposed their wills without remorse. In the end the downfall of the Qhal was in the nature of the Gates. The Gates in addition to providing instantaneous travel between star systems could also be used to travel forward in time. It is speculated from analysis of ancient Qhal artifacts on many worlds that travel back in time unraveled the Qhal civilization. Qujalin are human offspring that have bred with Qhal beings. Morgaine is a Qujalin who has undertaken a quest to go from world to world destroying the master Gates since there influence corrupts societies, nature and individuals. It should be noted that all worlds contain many Gates but only one Master Gate. Shutting down the Master renders them all just dead stone monuments.
I have not been able to definitely determine the motivation that propels Morgaine to go from world to world closing the Gates. Certainly the Gates are inherently evil but I was she given a mandate by some council or organization or is she self - motivated, the latter appears to be the case as best I can determine. Her journeys are difficult and dangerous yet her persistence and dedication never waivers. There is enormous opposition to her task since those in power lose all when the Gates is sealed. Fortunately she is in possession of an incredibly magical sword - Changling by name - that is partnered with the mystical evil of the Gates and provides her a weapon that can irrevocably draws individuals to oblivion. How she aquired this incredibly powerful weapon is unknown. Use of the sword takes a psychic toll on her. All the books take place in medieval type world. The technologies evident are body armor and cross bows; horses are the only means of transportation. These pre industrial revolution locals makes for interesting stories but I question if the Qhal who were interstellar travelers what happened to their technology?
Vanye the bastard son of Nhi Rijan killed his half-brother Nhi Kandrys and cut off several fingers of his other half-brother Nhi Erij in a fight he was goaded into by the half-brothers. His father was incensed with grief and anger and cursed his son and pronounced him an "ilin" an outcast. Vanye was "claimed" by the Qujalin Morgaine to assist her in defeating a clan leader who aspires for the forbidden knowledge of the Gates. At the story unfolds her becomes her assistant is riding worlds of Master Gates.
Well of Shiuan - book 2 of the Morgaine cycle:
The setting for this book is alien planet that had in the distant past been an outpost of the Qhal. The planet has earth-like conditions and is populated with men and descendants of the Qhal who have breed with the humans. The planet's moon had experienced a cataclysmic event that results in a steadily rising sea level and a forbidding sense of dread among the inhabitants. The society is pre-industrial and feudal ruled by clans who maintain uneasy alliances and truces with adjoining clans. Warriors are respected for their skills with bows and swords and their horsemanship. Anything to do with the Qhal - the Gates or beings with Qhal blood - Qujalin - is an object of justified superstitious dread. Nonetheless some individual's lust for the powers Qhal items can provide. Morgaine and her sworn assistant Vanyn appear intent on closing the Master Gate. Degenerate Qhal, a being masquerading as Vanye's cousin and angry locals conspire to thwart their plan.
This book screams for a glossary of terms - alas there isn't one. The author with a masters of arts in mythology fills her books with cryptic terms for places and locations that, frankly, were unfamiliar to this reader. Alas I had to slow down take a few notes and use some page index tabs to refer back too and I was ok and good to go. It was worth the effort - this is a many-layered story with several very strong personalities competing for the reader attention. The climax of this story, a stand-alone book as published, begs for sequel. Fortunately for us there was one.
I have read several of Ms. Cherryh's books and to be honest they are an acquired taste and put demands on the reader not accustomed to her writing style and narrative pacing. In this book the narrative pacing proceeded glacially. Nonetheless I enjoyed this book and will eventually read the two remaining sequels.
Hancock County was created from parts of Hawkins and Claiborne counties. The act establishing the county was passed by the state legislature on January 7, 1844, but several Hawkins residents sued to block its creation. In 1848, the Tennessee Supreme Court ruled in favor of the new county. The county seat, Sneedville, was named in honor of attorney William H. Sneed, who represented the county in the court case. The county was named for John Hancock, an American merchant, smuggler, statesman, and prominent Patriot of the American Revolution.
The Hancock County Courthouse was built in 1931 by contractor Emory Construction Company. Architectural design was done by Allen M. Dryden.
This county, along with parts of neighboring Virginia, is associated with one of the mysteries of American history. There is a community (some describe it as a race) here known as the Melungeons. People have for a long time been trying to figure out who the Melungeons are and from where they came. Based on a combination of DNA testing, legend and appearance, many Melungeons appear to be traceable to north Africa and/or southern Europe. There is some evidence that Melungeons were here before white settlers began migrating west of the Appalachian mountains in the late 1700s. Assuming this is true, no one knows for certain how the Melungeons got here. Among the theories is that they are the descendants of people who established a now-forgotten colony, or that they are the descendants of Portugese slaves who escaped from Hernando de Soto's army.
