The Tunkhannock Viaduct (Nicholson Bridge) in Nicholson, Pennsylvania, has been turning heads since 1915. Built by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, it was the largest reinforced concrete railroad bridge in the world when completed. More than 110 years later, it still carries Norfolk Southern freight trains daily. Its massive arches and remarkable longevity make it one of America’s most impressive railroad engineering achievements—and a favorite stop for railfans.
Alas, not a single train while I was there.

I don't have a clue what they might be doing, but they are erecting some sort of tower. All ideas are welcome.
This laboratory is used for the instruction of specific engineering-based software packages. When the laboratory is not being utilized for instruction, it serves as a general computer laboratory for all engineering students.

this is a tiny detail (but still impressive in size) of the internal structure of the LZ129 hindenburg, the zeppelin that ended the zeppelin era. seeing the sheer number of parts in this construction is mindboggling: each of the triangular beams is constructed of probably hundreds of aluminum parts bolted together, and there are thousands of those beams. the ropes were used to separate the gas bags (not part of the reconstruction) from the outer shell, so that the trapped air would serve as insulation, and also make sure that a minor accident involving the outer shell would not compromise the gas bags. ultimately, the zeppelin era did not last very long, but seeing how far they got (LZ130, the biggest one, was 244m/803ft in length) is pretty amazing.
In its 22nd year, the Engineering Expo is the college’s premier community outreach event. On average, the college welcomes more than 1,500 K-12 students from Miami-Dade and Broward County schools (elementary, middle, and high school) to the FIU Engineering Center to engage with FIU student organizations, researchers and staff, and to discover the endless possibilities of pursuing a degree in engineering or computing.
New York's first bridges were engineering marvels, but little thought was given to entrances and exits, instead focusing primarily on the river crossing. That changed with the evolution of the City Beautiful movement, and one of its crowning accomplishments was the Manhattan Bridge plaza, completed in 1916, seven years after the Manhattan Bridge itself, and designed by the architect team Carrère & Hastings, best known for their 1898 New York Public Library.
Over one thousand families were evicted to accomodate the plaza on a rectangle 400'x750' bounded by the Bowery, Canal, Bayard and Forsyth Streets. The plaza itself was dominated by a great oval plaza similar to Bernini's for St. Peter's in Rome, with colored mosaic walkways and granite colonnade, centered on a triumphal arch modeled after the one at Porte St. Denis in Paris. The sculptural decoration unites American and Classical traditions. On the sides of the arch, Carl Augustus Heber designed large sculptural panels, obelisk-shaped, with allegorical figures--"The Spirit of Industry" to the South, and the "Spirit of Commerce" to the north. At the top is "Buffalo Hunt" frieze of Indians hunting buffalo, designed by Charles Cary Rumsey. The soffit of the arch is covered with deeply cut rosettes.
Robert Moses' 1961 plans for a Lower Manhattan Expressway connecting the Manhattan Bridge and the Holland Tunnel called for the demolition of the entire plaza. Growing dissent for Moses' modernization/de-beautification ultimately sunk the project, but changes to accomodate increased auto traffic have chipped away at most of the plaza's outer landscaping. In 1968, the Department of Parks gave up land to the south for Confucius Plaza. Over the years, the manicured parkland has become a dumping ground for trash. The stonework of the colonnade and arch have fallen into disrepair. Slow-moving plans for ongoing renovation include restoration of the plaza.
The Manhattan Bridge Arch & Colonnade was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1975.

The FSU shuttle to the Engineering Village never uses one of the StarMetro buses in FSU livery, instead using one of the city's old RTS buses in former TalTran (the precursor to StarMetro) livery. It's nice to see these old RTS buses sputter, spew, and bounce around; they're even more fun to ride.
