"On June 7th, 1942, Japanese forces seized the small island of Attu from the United States. The following year, an invasion was launched to wrestle the Aleutian Islands chain from back Japan. A few weeks into the battle, Japanese forces unexpectedly launched a massive assault on the American lines at night, creating a rapid breakthrough. Sweeping over the front lines and through the rear aid stations, they killed the wounded who lay in their tents. Hundreds of Japanese continued to push the Americans back, right up to a hill that contained the base camp for some rear echelon troops, most engineers and cooks. As front line soldiers retreated from the pursuing enemy, the engineers and cooks stood their ground, repelling the Japanese banzai attack. By the end of the day, most of the Japanese garrison on Attu had been annihilated."

I've always wanted to do something to honor the (arguably) most forgotten campaign in WWII, so I decided to whip this little scene together. I posted a picture of the diorama as well, so you can view it as just a build. Hope you like it!

Cheers mates!

We come to Sault St. Marie, Michigan and today starts engineers weekend. Lots of activities and we get to watch many of the freighters going up bound and down bound.

I think Its been nearly 3 years since i last did this shot .

Went to the Illinois Railway Museum (IRM) where our friend engineered the Shay #5 Steam Locomotive.

Built in 1929 by the Lima Locomotive Works it was put in service by J. Neils Lumber Company logging the Northwest. Restored in 2018 at the IRM.

The IRM is a great place with lots of old trains. Well worth a visit! I'll post more pix later

The title is a line from Manfred Manns Blinded By The Light which was penned by Bruce Springsteen. The songs lyrics are bizarre and have very little meaning to me but that does not detract from the songs enormous popularity.

What the heck does 'Revved up like a Deuce' mean ?

Built in 1892 in collaboration with British engineer Charles Assheton Whately Pownall during the Meiji era (1868–1912) when Japan was rapidly modernizing. It served as a railway passage between Yokokawa in Gunma and Karuizawa in Nagano. Services stopped in 1963, and the bridge was repurposed as part of a nature trail in 2001.

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.

ENGINEERED ELEGANCE

Steam locomotive MINAZ No. 1716, 2-6-0, built by Henschel & Sohn in 1913, constr. no. 12428, still in operation at former sugar mill Australia (sugar mill no. 303 of Cuba).

An epic trip - 6-hours, 30-miles from Ouray to Lake City, Colorado - with rough rocky patches, switchbacks, shelf roads, and sweeping vistas all the way, reaching almost 13,000 feet at the summit. A Jeep Badge of Honor trail for good reason.

From TrailsOffroad.com: In the late 1800’s, miners started digging for gold, silver, lead and other ore in the San Juan Mountains. They needed a way to get people and the ore out to the nearby towns. Those roads left by the long-abandoned mines are now some of the most famous off-road trails in the books. Engineer Pass, a 30-mile trail, is one of them and is part of a trail now known as the Alpine Loop.

There are multiple mine ruins to view and explore the grounds of along the way including the Hard Tack Mine and the Michael Breen Mine.

Mile after mile provides new and more amazing views of Colorado and the San Juan mountains. Oh Point and the official summit have breath-taking panoramas of the mountains.

This trail goes well above the timberline at just over 12,900’. With the altitude comes stunning views of the mountains to the north including the Uncompahgre, Coxcomb, Wetterhorn and Wildhorse mountain peaks. The view is so expansive at Oh Point that on a very clear day, you might be able to see all the way to Utah if you turn your eyes to the west.

March is the month when our parents Mariam Sagitova & Tadeush Dzevitskiy were born.

An engineer & a scientist were also lilac breeders and created more than 300 varieties of Syringa Vulgaris.

Twelve kinds of their lilac are listed in International Lilac Register.

I dedicate some space in my Flickr page to their memory and would like to show you some pictures of their creation.

I believe , it is possible to see their lilac at Norman's Farm, Mill Road ,Wyverstone, Stowmarket,Suffolk, UK in collection of lilacs of Colin Chapman

Mid 1950's Simplex Automatic

Simplex was founded by Paul Treen (father of United States Congressman and Louisiana Governor David Conner Treen) in New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 1920s with an initial investment of $25.00 Treen had been a dealer in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and had pitched them the idea of making a lightweight motorcycle for young riders. When Harley-Davidson rejected the idea, Treen decided to enter the market himself and designed his Servi-Cycle. The Simplex Servi-Cycle was introduced in 1935.

Although Simplex Manufacturing Corporation produced motorcycles for over 20 years, the last Simplex Automatics looked almost the same as the company's original 1935 Simplex Servi-Cycle motorcycle. Paul Treen would often visit the factory's tool shop and work with the engineers on new ideas himself, resulting in continuous improvements to Simplex products instead of annual new model introductions.

The two-stroke engine had a rotary valve and an "overhung" crankshaft with only one main bearing. A kick-starter was added by 1953.

Western Auto sold Simplex motorcycles under the Wizard brand in the mid-1950s.

Simplex's minimalist philosophy was maintained throughout the company's history, whose designs changed little after 1935. By the 1950s Simplex's designs were primitive, leading to the end of Servi-Cycle and Automatic production in 1960. Simplex continued to make minibikes and karts using proprietary small engines until 1975, when Simplex went out of business. Treen had sold the company three years earlier, in 1972

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.

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.

With engineer Andrea back at the throttle, the big 4-8-4 puts on another show of steam powers as it lifts its train up the grade at Cherry Crest Farm. The grade is just enough with the longer train to make the big J dig in a bit.

ENGINEERED ELEGANCE

An iconic example of mid-century modern telecommunications architecture, stands as a striking testament to functionalist design. Rising 279.2 meters into the sky, its sleek, cylindrical form is punctuated by a series of observation decks and antenna platforms, creating a rhythmic interplay of mass and void.

The tower, clean and unadorned, emphasizes its sculptural purity, while the stacked horizontal elements provide a dynamic contrast to its otherwise monolithic verticality. This interplay of geometric forms evokes a sense of engineered elegance, where function dictates aesthetics with an almost minimalist restraint.

Photographed in isolation, the Heinrich-Hertz-Turm becomes an abstraction of itself lines and curves distilled to their essence. The structure’s stark contrast against the sky enhances its imposing presence, transforming it into a solitary beacon of modernity. This is an architecture of utility elevated to an art form, where simplicity and precision converge to create an enduring visual impact.
