This view looks east along The Going-to-the Sun Highway near Rising Sun in Glacier National Park, Montana. From left to right the mountains in this view are Mahtotopah Mountain (top of mountain not shown), Little Chief Mountain, Dusty Star Mountain (the blocky one) and Fusiliade Mountain (top hidden by clouds). The Going-to-the-Sun highway is a National Historic Landmark, a National historic District listed on the Natonal Register of Historic Places and a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
The Falkirk Wheel is a unique boat lift in the world. It replaces a series of 11 locks linking the canals from Glasgow to Edinburgh. The Falkirk rotary lift has a diameter of 35 metres and lowers or raises ships to a height of 25 metres. A set of double doors allows the boat to enter on one side and to leave on the other side. The wheel turns the two caissons, each weighing 300 tonnes, while the gearing system keeps them perfectly horizontal.
This steam engine is a real vintage among vintages. Made by Fowler and Company in Leeds, England in 1880, it has been perfectly restored to its former glory. This is a close up of the engine that was pulling the trailer in my previous shot.
"Wheels within wheels..." Notice that flywheel turning.
This detail of the little engine, "Wee Georgie Wood", shows how beautifully cared for it is. Precision engineering at its best, the full flowering of the industrial revolution.
It's not hard to find places of historic significance in downtown Launceston. It is Australia's third oldest city after all. But behind this modern shopfront lies a very famous local firm. No we are not in Glasgow, but the engineering firm that is based in these buildings was founded in 1892 by Scottish immigrants James Scott and John Clark.
Glasgow Engineering - 125 Years
This is in the back garden of the house we have lived in for about 40 years, and this is first time I have noticed the manufacturer's name on the manhole cover (unless I've seen it before and forgotten).
One of the most vivid memories I have from my primary school years was visiting the Dover Engineering Works with my school. It's not surprising that seeing molten iron poured from a ladle into a mould from close quarters would make a lasting impression on a child. I can still see clearly in my mind the wooden pattern they had made of our school's badge being pressed into the compacted black sandy material in the mould. The pattern was then removed and the top half of the mould filled with more compacted material was fitted. Small holes to allow the escape of burning gas were made in the material. When the molten iron was poured into the mould, sure enough, jets of flame appeared from these holes. When the mould was eventually stripped, there was the grey/silver replica of the wooden pattern.
When the company was established in 1830 it was on the outskirts of Dover in the parish of Charlton, with a supply of water from the adjacent River Dour. Charlton has since been absorbed by Dover, and the engineering works is of course gone - with the site now occupied by a supermarket.
Engineering works two weekends ago at Cattal saw 70812 on duty at the station when the points to the west of the station were replaced.
Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. Not happy with this one, but will have to do for now as I wanted a general shot of the department building and I did find the staircase interesting!
Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) engineering inspection vehicle TC82, manufactured by Plasser, is seen crossing Borden Ave in Long Island City, Queens as it starts an inspection run back out to points east. This is clearly an unusual sight, as even other rail road employees at the adjacent facility are looking on!
Some oddly over-engineered stairs and fencing for flats above the Old World Deli on State St. in Bellingham. Guess the builder didn't want to pay for any engineering, so just beefed it up until he said, "That ought to hold anything."

Yeah i love my green lotus! What i tried to do in this picture was create the sort of picture you would see in a magazine, maybe with some text beside it endorsing lotus's engineering skills. I don't know, but i hope you enjoy!

For the Pessimist, the glass is half empty.
For the Optimist the glass is half full.
For the Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

50019 'Ramillies' in engineers blue livery at Gloucester in October 1989.
This is one of very few photos I took of 'Ramillies' in this livery though I did see it at Worcester on an engineers train [black and white and now in the ownership of Martin Loader]. I seem to recall that this was in the November. Most of my journeys from London were via the north Cotswold line and I can't remember now why I took a different route?!
The engineering marvel of Ribbleshead Viaduct pales into insignificance as darkness falls on a clear summer night.
My second entry in this months competition on Bridges.
Had a few days away in Bristol so couldn't really visit without seeing and taking an image of the magnificent Clifton Suspension Bridge.
It spans the river Avon and has a remarkable history which is well worth reading about.
The original design was of Isambard Kingdom Brunel .
Spanning over 702 ft and 249ft above the Avon it had the longest span of any bridge in the world at the time of its construction.
Thank you for viewing and any comments
