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.
Today we had a unique opportunity to see and photograph this special steam engine #844, UP's "Living Legend". It was saved from the scrap yard and put into special service in 1960 after diesel engines took over the rails but has been retired from passenger service over 60 years ago. It has become Union Pacific’s ambassador of goodwill. This engine left Cheyenne, WY Tuesday, where it was restored and returned to service in 2016, on a special excursion to Boise and then back again. This was photographed as it passed by our house. It was pulling several passenger cars and a back up diesel engine.
Found a bit more info on this engine (from local newspaper). Construction was completed in 1944, weight is 454 ton.

Follows another theme, motor cycle oriented. Used to ride, very strictly amateur, non technical, just for the fun and freedom it gave.
Klodzko depot parowa, "World Steam" lokomotyw parowyc.
I saw over 25 active steamers that day in and around Klodzko
Since I was used to see some Frence 231 & 241 in my youth I fell in love with these old PKP giants. For almost an hour I got a footplate ride, wonderful noisy and shaking experience. The automatic coal shoveler worked fine although the old and battared engine was leaking steam on many places and had to struggle hard keeping at 80 Km/h with a 4-car, DDR build, double deck unit. ...
Very friendly & skilled crew ! Difficult to get in to the depot but once you were in ... great.

Deze dag stond in het teken van goederenvervoer bij de RTM. Diverse stoom en diesellocs reden goederentrams of personentrams met goederenwagens. Het weer was uitstekend en de trams weer schitterend.
This day was all about freight transport at the RTM. Various steam and diesel locomotives drove freight trams or passenger trams with freight wagons. The weather was excellent and the trams were again magnificent.
Dieser Tag stand im RTM ganz im Zeichen des Gütertransports. Verschiedene Dampf- und Diesellokomotiven trieben Güterstraßenbahnen bzw. Personenstraßenbahnen mit Güterwagen an. Das Wetter war ausgezeichnet und die Straßenbahnen waren wieder wunderschön.

This engine is one and a half feet long and may well be a running model but it wasn't running when I took this picture.
The Gas-up show is put on by people that devote their interest in antique engines and display their equipment at the show. Much of it is operational and as you see some of it is very photogenic.
Antique Engine Equipment Show - I have a lot of pictures of the same event in 2015. I didn't retake the same items this year so check out the album GAS-UP
...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.
As I was shooting the Pan Am Railways OCS at Tower A, I got word that B721 was approaching CP-3 on the B&A, and would be coming at us shortly. After a quick shot on the Grand Junction, we see the train passing Boston Engine Terminal on the 4th Iron.

Robey & Co Ltd was founded in 1854, by Robert Robey, as manufacturers of portable steam engines and thrashing machines. By 1862 they had expanded greatly and exhibited a display of agricultural equipment; "fixed engines, traction engines, ploughing tackle, corn mills, saw benches etc" at the Great Exhibition. Soon they extended the range to include a complete range of mining equipment from winding engines and pumping engines to locomotives, cages and kibbles (mine bucket).
