"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.

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.

NJ Transit’s CNJ Tribute Unit is seen making a rare appearance on the Northeast Corridor while deadheading to Newark Penn for a trip on the Raritan Valley Line in honor of the final trip for the last engineer still working that was hired out by the CNJ. Although his last trip is tomorrow, today’s move was to ferry the #4109 to Raritan in preparation.

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.
Running tender-first toward the interchange at Leaman Place. Will we find some freight cars there for us?
We are rolling through the bucolic country of Amish farms along the Strasburg Railroad.

Sometimes my mind goes blank when it comes to titles. This title is referring to a review of the lens I was using for this photo. In this review they call this Leica Elmarit 60 mm f2.8 lens for a soulful engineer. I think it is quite fitting to this photo which I actually think have some soul to it. What do you think?
As always, thank you for your faves, comments and views!
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.
It’s quitttin’ time, the engineer lightens his load dumping out his cooler before helping his conductor tighten handbrakes before heading home for the day.
Almost disappointing to shoot this from ground level. So much one does not see from this perspective.

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.

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.
In May 1985, I had a day to kill between training sessions in Portland, Oregon. For fun, I took a short roundtrip on Amtrak's Pioneer to The Dalles. If all went well, it would be a day for twos - a two hour ride east, a two hour layover in The Dalles, and a two hour return to Portland.
The 86-mile ride through the Columbia River Gorge was pleasant. As I detrained in The Dalles, the only other person to get off the train was an Amtrak cook. She worked out of Seattle, assisting with breakfast and lunch in the diner. When train 25 arrived from the east, she would work the dinner service on the return to Seattle.
There was an Arctic Circle restaurant in The Dalles across the street from where Amtrak stopped. After I had lunch there, I walked around downtown for a bit. The westbound Pioneer was within a few minutes of being on time for the ride back to Portland. As it slowed for the station stop, I snapped this image of the train on the westward main.
Note the sign placed on the eastward main to help the eastbound Pioneer's engineer spot his train. Naturally, there's a fair amount of ETTS in this image. The large grain elevator in the background is gone now, and the Pioneer ceased operation in 1997.

I went for a bike ride this morning and passed the site of the old Totley Tunnel Box around the same time as an engineers train having run from the Huddersfield area. First time I've seen the new livery in action.

On January 19, 2026, I was invited to ride along on the Nebraska Central Railroad's Platte Valley Turn. The crew goes on duty every morning in Grand Island at 0600, meaning I had an early morning drive ahead of me.
Once at the train, I rode in the cab with Engineer Sam Read. We would transit from the NCRC shops on the west end of the yard onto our train on the east side. We passed this UP caboose buried with freight cars.

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.
