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.
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.
With the engineer on board who led the project to reinstate this locomotive in 2019/2020 when both were at DB Cargo, Locomotive Services Group's latest acquisition, Class 90, 90026 makes its debut for its new owners - flying through Hartford with 5Z47 0930 Crewe Holding Sidings to Carnforth North Junction.
As well as giving 90026 its first test run under its new ownership, the trip to Carnforth was also being used to shakedown the Statesman Rail stock post-refurbishment, ahead of returning to revenue-earning service later in the week.
The southbound leg of the run would also allow 90002 "Wolf of Badenoch" (on the rear in this photo) a run out after traction motor repairs.

08771 trundles through York station with an Engineers' train on 23rd October 1988.
The station was closed to trains arriving from the north as overhead power lines were being installed and the track "rationalised". The first of the two through roads have been lifted and the work would take several weekends to complete.

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.
The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal in Wolverhampton, West Midlands.
James Brindley was the chief engineer of the canal, which was part of his "Grand Cross" plan for waterways connecting Hull, Liverpool, and Bristol. The Act of Parliament authorising the canal was passed on 14 May 1766. This created "The Company of Proprietors of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal Navigation", which was empowered to raise an initial £70,000 (equivalent to £8,778,850 in 2015), with a further £30,000 (equivalent to £3,762,364 in 2015), if needed, to fund the canal's construction.
The canal was completed in 1771 for a cost that exceeded the authorised capital and opened to trade in 1772. It was a commercial success, with trade from the Staffordshire Potteries southwards to Gloucester and Bristol, and trade from the Black Country northwards to the Potteries via the junction with the Birmingham Canal at Aldersley. The Company obtained a second Act of Parliament on 9 June 1790, authorising it to raise another £12,000 (equivalent to £1,293,159 in 2015), to improve the River Severn immediately below Stourport as far as Diglis, to improve navigation to and from the canal.
Trade declined when the newer Worcester and Birmingham Canal was opened in 1815, providing a more direct route between Birmingham and Bristol. To remain competitive, the company increased the hours when locks could be used, until by 1830 they were available 24 hours a day. Another setback occurred when the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal opened its new route to Chester and Merseyside, meeting the canal at Autherley Junction. This took much of the traffic from the section to Great Haywood. Faced with a high volume of trade using the half-mile stretch between Aldersley and Autherley Junctions, the company levied very high tolls.
To resolve the situation, the Birmingham Canal Company and the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Company jointly promoted an Act of Parliament to authorise a short canal that would have left the Birmingham Canal at a higher level than the junction, crossed the Staffordshire and Worcestershire by an aqueduct, and then dropped down by a series of locks to join the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal north of Autherley junction. The canal company decided to reduce its tolls rather than lose the trade altogether.
Despite the competition, and later competition from the railways, the canal company paid dividends to its shareholders until the end of the 19th century, although profits fell steadily from the 1860s. It remained independent until the Transport Act 1947 nationalised Britain's canals on 1 January 1948. In its latter years, the major trade was in coal from Cannock to a power station at Stourport. The power station closed in 1949, and after that, the only commercial traffic was on the stretch between Autherley and Aldersley Junctions.

Engineer (Young) Will Lovelace calls for permission through a work authority on the Philly Sub from the cab of Q032. Will's dad was an Erie, and later NJT conductor. Will was the first CSX-era hire on the former RF&P out of Richmond.
When I was occasionally cut back to conductor, I would go to the UPS train pool to work with the top-dog engineers; John Stone, Jim Stevens, and Will Lovelace. All great to work with.
Mr. Lovelace retired in late 2021.

The "Three Amigos" in engineer class. L to R: Mike Burbidge, Jeff Sessa (me), Jay Daravong. I believe Mike went to MBTA, I went to Amtrak in 2023, and Jay went to the Pan Am before leaving the industry entirely. We certainly had fun down in Atlanta.
Who can say whether every dimple and pattern is necessary, but the internals of a washing machine can be art.

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.

Checked into WWDC08 this afternoon, and picked up my speaker badge and this awesome "Apple Engineer" T-Shirt. Neat.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.
Date : 03/06/2016.
Type : Engineers Ballast Wagon.
Weight : 41t GLW. (26.5t Capacity / 14.5t Tare)
Number : DC 210150.
Number Series : Various conversion from the 210xxx range.
Builder : 1977-78 by BR Shildon Works, Rebuilt 1991.
TOPS Code : ZCA.
CCE Code : SEA URCHIN.
Lot No. : 3908.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
In an effort to eliminate vacuum braked and unfitted engineers stock in the early 1990's BR set about converting surplus 41ton GLW opens and vans into a new fleet of engineers Ballast/Spoil wagons. There were two distinct fleets called 'Seahare' and 'Sea Urchin' the later batch were by far the largest encompassing former OBA open wagons and numerous Van types. The conversions were undertaken at various BR wagon shops resulting in several body types. The vehicle seen here was originally a VDA 41t Box Van. EWS inherited this fleet on privatisation but the low capacity and aging underframes has resulted in the 'Seahare' fleet becoming extinct and what few 'Sea Urchins' still exist are mostly stored waiting disposal.
