I went for a look around the Opera House in Blackpool whilst everybody was watching the Britain's got Talent auditions today, I found myself in the old switch room next to the projection area, it was just a pity that all the other doors where locked.
The present Opera House is actually the third Opera House to have been built on the site. The first, designed by famous theatre architect Frank Matcham, who also designed the Grand Theatre and the Tower Ballroom, was named Her Majesty’s Opera House and opened on June 10th 1889.
In November 1910, the Opera House closed for rebuilding. Its larger replacement, by architects Mangnall and Littlewood, was formally opened nine months later.
The second Opera House was demolished 27 years later and in its place was erected the present 3,000 seat building which opened on 14th July 1939. Possessing the largest stage in the country, it was designed in a modernist style with a sweepingly curved proscenium.
Join us as we tour the auditorium, circle, above and below the stage and even the original projector room! You might come across some soldiers, the joker on the fly floor or even Fred the spotlight operator!
Well, a week or so ago I got the opportunity to jumpseat on a 737-700 up to Deadhorse, Alaska.
Here is a view from the jumpseat (which by the way was very comfortable) looking at the upper panel of switches. So many different systems.
Loco crew of Amtrak 151 had to manually set the switch before proceeding to Vancouver Pacific Central station.
Switcher for the Ulen elevator is equipped with a bike just in case he is a long ways from the office at coffee time.
This locomotive is an 0-8-0 steam engine built in 1929 by Baldwin Locomotive Works as a switcher bearing the number 8376. It was originally operated by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad. Switcher #8376 was brought out of storage and recommissioned in 1976 as NS&W #76. When it was christened, NS&W #76 (76) was the last steam locomotive engine to be commissioned for regular freight service in the United States.
