Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of a guy going about his important business of helping to keep our streets clean.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.
My first ride in the cab of a steam locomotive. The engineer was kinda young. Niles Canyon Railway near Sunol, California.
After not sleeping all night waiting on P001, my dumbass decided to go after A711 with a YN2 GP40-2 & GP39-2 for power. To the absolute amazement of myself, Travis & Larry, the conductor for today's edition was slower than a snail frozen in a block of ice 200ft below the surface of Antarctica. It no joke took him over 3 hours to build a 11 car train when all of the cars were located in a siding & just needed to be arranged in the right order. You could tell both the engineer & the dispatcher were getting rather crossed at him as he was holding up the subdivision the whole morning with several road trains waiting in Chattanooga for them to clear up. How someone was able to work so slow still baffles me.
Anyways, here we see them finally moving south going in the hole at Tilton to let one of those trains in Chattanooga get around them. Why did I stay up for this is beyond me since I was now going close to 27 hours without sleep by this point? Oh yeah, I'm a dumbass. 1-24-22
Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5411 leads an 84-car Salt Lake City to Helper coal train through Utah's Spanish Fork Canyon approaching Narrows on Oct. 8, 1994. The engineer is holding a system timetable, which he tossed out the window for me to enjoy as a gift. In my humble opinion, Rio Grande guys were and continue to be the BEST.
The first and the most recent example of the De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 to be completed at Downsview Airport in Toronto, Ontario.
C-FJJA (serial number 4001) first flew on January 31, 1998 - 23 years ago. The registration is a nod to Jackson "Jock" Aitken, who had been a DHC flight test engineer for 34 years and had passed away seven month's prior to the aircraft's first flight.
C-GPPW (serial number 4625) was preparing to depart Downsview Airport for Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. The following morning, "Akaashtori" departed as C-GPPW for the base of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Limited in Dhaka, Banglasdesh. There she was registered as S2-AKE.
Brittle stars, an alternate common name is the 'serpent stars', are a species-rich class of echinoderms with outstanding regenerative abilities. Living under rocks or in crevices with only the tips of the arms exposed, they are known to be seafloor ecosystem engineers. They reshape the seafloor sediment surface and influence the distribution of other seafloor species. They also provide nutrition to fish, sea stars and crab predators.
Their presence in a sediment sample is one indicator of a healthy benthic community. They embody nature's fragility and resilience.

As Johnny Cash once said about his younger years "You know, for some reason, it was awfully important to me that I when I waved at the engineer, he waved back at me"
Likewise, every since first visiting America, I've also done that and most times, when you can actually see into the cab, the engineer does indeed wave back. Although you can't see it in this photo, he opened the side window and gave a friendly wave. Once the train had passed I had a big smile on my face.

The title refers to the only engineer's name that I automatically recall from a classic Dr Who episode. Unfortunately Engineer Eckersley was a bad 'un, in league other bad 'uns to steal the valuable mining deposits.
This is the view on Engineer Pass Road. This is just a little below the pass which has an elevation of 12,840 feet.
Engineer is fairly easy road from this point on, but still requires high clearance and 4wheel drive vehicles. You really need 4wheel drive going down hill because it keeps you from using your brakes as much.
This is an old one from the vault. He was a regular personality who rode his tricycle fitted with a mock-up steam engine around the ByWard Market. Haven't seen him around for over 5yrs.
Note: Rocky Mountain is at the old location of ByWard Market.

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can't.”

Utah Railway engineer Stu Turner commands the controls of the RUT311 local as it rumbles into North Salt Lake, Utah, on May 15, 2012. Stu was one of the kindest railroaders I've ever met, offering a friendly wave or a trackside chat. He was tragically taken from us in July 2020 due to brain cancer.
Unbelievably there were /are 9 engineers trains heading East through Teignmouth and Dawlish today. It was in connection with a major engineering project in the Plymouth area. In addition to the bonus services there was a total block situation along the sea wall, this meant that the trains crawled along this stretch of line at 5 mph, the trains could be in line of sight of each other with no signalling knowing they could come to a stop, even in the tunnels. At one point we had two trains on the same track on the sea wall at Dawlish within sight of each other.
66074 eeks its way along the wall with old track forming the 1031 from Hemerdon to Westbury, 70801 had not long disappeared around the corner at Langstone Cliff.
Plenty of walkers along the sea wall burning off the roast spuds. I think everyone of them asked myself and a few other fellow phottwers what was occurring.
Just a few figs, I wanted to use the new 2016 Ghostbusters bodies/legs for something.
P.S. I'm trying out a new photo setup, wadda ya think?
(Though I'll probably only use it in winter, because taking pictures outside looks better. :P)
Large Logo 66789 "British Rail 1948-1997" passes through Mottisfont and Dunbridge station on 12/Sept/24 with 6O39 10.14 Westbury Down T C to Eastleigh East yard engineers via Chandlers Ford.
the universe is built from simple things.
a single thread, drawn from nothing.
a patient waiting. a precise geometry.
from this, a world is spun.
a map of forces, a trap for the unwary,
a fragile, shimmering home.
it is the work of a silent engineer,
drawing a new reality
out of the darkness.
On August 31st, 2023, well known railroader Mike Del Vecchio passed away after a battle with cancer. Although I didn't know Mike too well personally, I never heard a bad word spoken about him. Seen here is him posing as the engineer on #4109 during the United Railroad Historical Society's photo shoot in Boonton.

Class 37 in Colas Railfreight livery runs around its consist during engineering works around the Slateford area seen here crossing the Slateford Viaduct.
On a mild early spring afternoon Amtrak GE P42DC number 97 leads on time train number 54 (the northbound Vermonter to St. Albans, VT from Washington, D.C.) across the historic stone arch bridge over the Fall River on modern day Berkshire and Eastern Railroad's (ex Pan Am) Conn River mainline which is now owned by the state of Massachusetts.
This 4-arch span at Milepost 42.81 (measuredcfrom Springfield) on the former Boston and Maine Railroad Conn River mainline was designed and built in 1846 by none other than Theodore Judah who later became Chief Engineer of the Sacramento Valley Railroad and the greatest proponent of the Transcontinental Railroad. He personally lobbied Abraham Lincoln for the passage of the Pacific Railroad Act and brought together the 'Big Four' to found the Central Pacific Railroad. As Chief Engineer of the CPRR he surveyed the route along which it would be ultimately built, but he died in 1863 not living to see his dream become a reality more than 150 years ago in 1869.
As for the railroad itself, it was once a major north south heavy duty mainline until it fell out of favor as a thru route by B&M successor Guilford Transportation, and for most of my lifetime was little more than a 10 mph secondary the domain of short locals headed to the few remaining customers north to White River Junction.
From 1972 to 1987 Amtrak's Montrealer traversed this route until discontinued due to poor track conditions and shifted to an all Central Vermont routing from New London leaving this stretch of the Conn River main devoid of passenger trains until 2014. On August 20 of that year, the state finalized a $17 million deal to purchase the line from Pan Am, successor to the B&M and Guilford.
The subsequent rebuilding of the route (including this bridge) to modern passenger train standards with a combination of federal and state money led to the return of Amtrak's Vermonter to the line, dubbed by the state as the 'Knowledge Corridor' in December 2014 with new stops added at Holyoke, Northampton, and Greenfield.
Wanting to capitalize on their investment, in February 2016, Massachusetts Secretary of Transportation Stephanie Pollack said that MassDOT was looking at starting a pilot commuter service as early as 2017. In June 2018, Governor Charlie Baker announced that two Amtrak New Haven to Springfield shuttle round trips would be extended to Greenfield in 2019 as a pilot program. The service began August 31, 2019 operated under the Valley Flyer moniker. It was operated on a trial basis through fall 2021 with a goal of 24,000 riders a year which has been met, and consequently the state just announced that the trains will be permanent. Alas, they travel no further than Greenfield, so for now this train and its northbound counterpart are the only daily passenger trains that cross this magnificent historic structure.
