With the fourth of 5 Sunday morning engineers services, Colas Rail 56113 grumbles past Niddrie West Junction some 120 minutes early working 6K20 Larkfield Junction - Millerhill. Classmate 56078 was trailing on the rear.
Engineers stand in front of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) with the high-gain antenna in full view, while the medium-gain antenna at top right is inspected from above. The high-gain antenna is covered with a temporary protective sheet that will later be removed.
Juice will make detailed observations of Jupiter and its three large ocean-bearing moons – Ganymede, Callisto and Europa – with a suite of remote sensing, geophysical and in situ instruments. The mission will investigate the emergence of habitable worlds around gas giants and the Jupiter system as an archetype for the numerous giant exoplanets now known to orbit other stars.

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.
Oneonta, Cooperstown & Richfield Springs Railway, Express motor # 6, along with the crew is seen at Hartwick, New York, May 7, 1904, Charles Snyder Collection. Most likely the crew includes the engineer-motorman, brakeman and conductor. These Express Motors not only carried freight shipments on board, but also powered short trains consisting of perhaps four to five freight cars. It appears that a small air whistle is mounted to the roof at each end of the express motor. This railway is an Interurban system consisting of 45.5 miles length, which provided both passenger and freight service, plus provided residential power to various communities. A car barn, powerhouse, and dispatcher office were built in Hartwick, where the express motor is spotted.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is unknown. This photo came from my personal collection of Charles Snyder Railroad images.

Two budding engineering students deep in discussion as they head back to college. Bacolod City, Philippines.
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.

Having learned about a somewhat touristic ride known as the galatic trains, Aigara insisted on going to the next solar system using one. Her sisters didn't have any inconvenience (not even Mari with her large size, as there were other beings bigger than her that used that traveling system), so they went... Just to lose Aigara, who departed ways in her excitement around the platform. That was when the girl met an alien boy who was searching for his love interest, a girl that seemed quite fond of traveling and he met before. Aigara, after learning he was going in the same train, offered her help to the boy in exchange to returning her with Mari and Remi.

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

The new Lightroom rocks!
Beautiful magnificent clouds!
View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

Britannia Bridge (Welsh: Pont Britannia) is a bridge across the Menai Strait between the island of Anglesey and the mainland of Wales. It was originally designed and built by Robert Stephenson as a tubular bridge of wrought iron rectangular box-section spans for carrying rail traffic. Following a fire in 1970 it was rebuilt as a two-tier steel truss arch bridge, carrying both road and rail traffic.
The opening of the Menai Bridge in 1826, a mile (1.6 km) to the east of where Britannia Bridge was later built, provided the first fixed road link between Anglesey and the mainland. The increasing popularity of rail travel necessitated a second bridge to provide a direct rail link between London and the port of Holyhead, the Chester and Holyhead Railway.
Other railway schemes were proposed, including one in 1838 to cross Thomas Telford's existing Menai Bridge. Railway pioneer George Stephenson was invited to comment on this proposal but stated his concern about re-using the suspension bridge. By 1840, a Treasury committee decided broadly in favour of Stephenson's proposals, with final consent to the route including Britannia Bridge given in 1845. Stephenson's son Robert was appointed as chief engineer.
The design required the strait to remain accessible to shipping and the bridge to be sufficiently stiff to support the heavy loading associated with trains, so Stephenson constructed a bridge with two main spans of 460-feet (140-m) long rectangular iron tubes, each weighing 1,500 long tons (1,700 short tons), supported by masonry piers, the centre one of which was built on the Britannia Rock. Two additional spans of 230-feet (70-m) length completed the bridge making a 1,511-feet (461-m) long continuous girder. The trains were to run inside the tubes. Up until then the longest wrought iron span had been 31 feet 6 inches (9.6 m).
Stephenson retained the services of two distinguished engineers as consultants. William Fairbairn was an old friend of his father. Eaton Hodgkinson was a leading theorist on strength of materials. Hodgkinson believed that it would be impractical to make the tubes stiff enough, and advised auxiliary suspension from chains. However, Fairbairn believed chains unnecessary declaring:
Provided that the parts are well-proportioned and the plates properly rivetted, you may strip off the chains and have it as a useful Monument of the enterprise and energy of the age in which it was constructed.
The consensus of received engineering opinion was with Hodgkinson, but Stephenson, rather nervously, backed Fairbairn's analysis. A 75 feet (23 m) span model was constructed and tested at Fairbairn's Millwall shipyard, and used as a basis for the final design. Although Stephenson had pressed for the tubes to be elliptical in section, Fairbairn's preferred rectangular section was adopted. Fairbairn was responsible both for the cellular construction of the top part of the tubes, and for developing the stiffening of the side panels.

Engineers and technicians inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida stacked the first segment of the Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket boosters onto mobile launcher 1.
Comprising 10 segments total – five segments for each booster – the SLS solid rocket boosters arrived via train to NASA Kennedy in September 2023 from Northrop Grumman’s manufacturing facility in Utah. The booster segments underwent processing in the spaceport’s Rotation, Processing and Surge Facility before being transferred to the NASA’s iconic VAB for stacking operations.

Not for the first time this year, but still a rare sight these days - a Class 60 on an engineers' train as GB Railfreight's 60076 "Dunbar" pairs up with Class 66, 66771 on a rail drop train for an overnight possession in the Hazel Grove area.
The Brush Traction machine was leading for the return run, powering through Acton Bridge on a crisp and chilly Sunday morning as 6G49 07:38 Stockport Edgeley Junction No 1 to Crewe Basford Hall SSM.
The Miami Tower is a 47-story, landmark office skyscraper in Miami, Florida, United States. It is located in central Downtown. It is currently the 8th tallest building in Miami and Florida. On April 18, 2012, the AIA's Florida Chapter placed it on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as the Bank of America Tower.
Built for CenTrust Bank in 1987, the 47-story building ranks in the top ten tallest skyscrapers in Miami and in Florida at a height of 625 feet (191 m) and is known for its elaborate night-time illuminations and its dramatic three glass tiers. Designed by the Pei Cobb Freed & Partners architectural firm, the tower consists of two separate structures: A 10-story parking garage owned by the city and the 47-story office tower built upon the air rights of the garage. Preliminary planning for the tower began in February 1980; construction on the garage began by November. The garage was completed in February 1983 and the tower began construction a year later. On August 1984, while the tower was under construction, a 5-alarm fire began on the ninth floor; construction was subsequently delayed for several weeks. On December 15, 1985, the tower was lit for the first time in Miami Dolphins aqua and snowflakes.
By mid-1986, the tower's exterior was complete and the grand opening for the complex was set for early fall that same year. Due to the uneven settling of the tower's foundation to one side by several inches, and the resulting misalignment of the tower's elevator rails, the grand opening for the complex was delayed until February 1987. The complete complex featured the world's only elevated metro station in a skyscraper (Knight Center station). It also gained notoriety for its luxurious interiors, including a skylobby on the 11th floor covered in marble and gold and a 10,000 sq ft (930 m2) outdoor terrace. Also its indoor gym features mahogany cabinets. The tower is connected to the James L. Knight Center by a pedestrian walkway and on the first floor is a retail spine covered with green marble. The tower contains 1,160,000 sq ft (108,000 m2) with 503,000 sq ft (46,700 m2) of office space and a 535,000 sq ft (49,700 m2), 1,500 space parking garage.
The building appears during the end credits of the 1986 movie Flight Of The Navigator in an aerial shot of Miami. The very top floors can clearly be seen still under construction.
The roof of the building was the set of Gloria Estefan's 1994 video for "Turn The Beat Around". The building is also one of many featured on the backdrop of the stage on The Tonight Show.
On January 1, 2010, the building was renamed the Miami Tower.
