The quintessential classic 1950s, B.R. designed, really useful engines pose at the 2022 DRS open day at Crewe Gresty Bridge (photobombed by an 88).
There are many reasons why visitors flocked to this event at Gresty Bridge on 16 July 2022, but one of them must surely be that it may have been the last opportunity to view the DRS heritage fleet in significant numbers. The offer of a lease back scheme may mean that DRS will still have access to some of these magnificent machines and hopefully Kingmoor can produce a line up like this in 2024.
wreckage of the Boeing Superfortress B-29A that lies scattered across the peat on Bleaklow, close to the Higher Shelf stones. Hard to imagine that it was over 60 years ago that the aircraft misjudged the height in thick cloud, as the remains are so well preserved...
The Santa Fe 5000 on display in Amarillo, Texas. They are doing some slow restoration work on this one.

A night image of Steam Engine 1095, also know as "The Spirit of Sir John A" in honour of Canada's first Prime Minister, was built in 1913 at the Canadian Locomotive Company in Kingston Ontario. This engine which has a 4-6-0 wheel configuration and which was owned and operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway, has been on display at Confederation Park, Kingston, Ontario, the past 41 years. Plans are being made to restore it.

The three main engines of the Space Shuttle orbiter Discovery (OV-103). National Air and Space Museum, Udvar-Hazy Center. Virginia
Developed in the 1970s by the Marshall Space Flight Center, the space shuttle main engine was the world's most sophisticated reusable rocket engine. After the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned, the main engines provided thrust which accelerated the shuttle from 3,000 mph to more than 17,000 mph in order to reach low earth orbit. The engines operated for 8 minutes and 40 seconds for each shuttle flight, with a combined output of 37 million horsepower, and a combined maximum thrust of more than 1.2 million pounds.

Visitors for the Spring Gala 53808 and 8572 meet at Bridgnorth. This could have been a scene featuring two LNER locomotives in that companies' livery, however B1 1264 was pulled from the gala the week before and the 7F was brought in as a late replacement.
This was a while back. This is somewhere between Attalla and Chattanooga. Its been a while since the steam engines ran through. I wish they still did.
The train engine proved much more of a challenge than regular train cars, and I'm still not quite happy with it. There's just not that much space in a 5-wide system... With that in mind, any suggestions for improvements would be greatly appreciated!
We're digging back into the archives almost ten years. It's the afternoon before we're to begin what would be an epic 10-day trip along the Iowa, Chicago & Eastern and Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern that would take us through six states.
And what better way to prime us for the long trip than to have a taste of blue and yellow on Chicago's south side? We're in Bedford Park watching the eastbound IC&E manifest freight rounding the sweeping curve at 65th and Harlem just before entering the Belt Railway of Chicago's Clearing Yard.
In just under 12 hours, we'd leave Chicago's urban scene behind us as we headed through the cornfields in our trek toward the badlands of South Dakota.
...near Blanchland in Northumberland, was built around 1805 to house a Cornish pumping engine that prevented the local network of lead mines from flooding. Towards the end of its industrial life in the 1840s, an enormous steam engine was installed in a final attempt to keep the mines dry enough to work.
Following decommissioning, the engine house was converted to a series of flats for mining families, but was finally abandoned around a hundred years ago and has been derelict ever since.
The engine house is a reminder of a once thriving lead mining community of a little under two hundred people, but the population declined after the mid-nineteenth century, when the imports of cheaper foreign lead began. Young families then emigrated from Shildon to the goldfields of Australia and America.
It's a steam train photo of the engine right in your face. :P
Although, something has to be said about the sheer size of even an early 20th century Consolidation. Consider with about 41,800 lbf of tractive effort that 93 is nearly as strong as Britain's LNER P2 at about 43,500 lbf; in the early 1900's the American railroading network was already leaning into heavy haulage. Sure, nobody could claim 93 would win a beauty contest, or a speed one; but this machine is meant to slug out freight and is only a window into the massive locomotives that would follow in years to come.
