The little engineer takes to the sky...
Skippy prepared for his journey while wearing the following:
The Forge's Nomad Mask!
Wicca's Original's Wickham Hat!
Gabriel's Vintage Suit, and Steampunk Shoulder Belt!
Arts & Gear's Steam Wing Backpack!
And the little man envisioned his universe with the help of:
The Forge's Sky Junker Ship!
VARONIS's Dorenburg Build!
Let's keep hoping.
Let's keep dreaming.
Let's keep working together to build a better future for all.
Keep shining bright, my friends!
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.
The paint peeling from the walls and the high level of decay makes me so happy.... Is it strange to love this kind of stuff ? hehe...
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.

Sign on the roof of Treg Trailers, a local engineering workshop and showroom for household domestic trailers and custom built trailers. The sign on the roof is accompanied by a life-sized red trailer.
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.
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

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.

Just 4 minutes after the 6T64 headed by 66711 passed through, Freightliner 66539 is seen working the 6Y70 0905 Hitchin to Whitemoor Yard L.D.C Gbrf engineers through Waterbeach.
The Claymills Victorian pumping station is keen to encourage the next generation of engineers. This young man took us down to the the space above the boilers and explained the restoration project he was working on with his team .

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.

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.
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.
From Engineer Pass (el. 12,800 ft) on the Alpine Loop in the San Juan Mountains, the view to the north east is dominated by (from left to right) Wetterhorn Peak (14, 021 ft), Matterhorn (13,590 ft) Peak and Uncompahgre Peak (14,321 ft).
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.

Walking the terraced face of Toyon Canyon Landfill in Griffith Park yesterday. The entire canyon was a dump site for Los Angeles garbage from 1957 to 1985. 30,700,000 cubic yards of trash is buried here; an estimated 16,000,000 tons. The terraced face is engineered like a 500 foot high dam. There are 200 gas wells collecting methane which is used to operate a power generation facility. Other pipes and ducts manage wastewater which must be filtered and treated before channeled into the concrete canyon of the nearby Los Angeles river. The grass is green this time of year.

Winter presents all kinds of interesting challenges as a photographer. The cold, snow, and ice all provide risks and rewards. I decided to brave those elements recently and hiked through a foot of powder to the top of a ridge near Durango, Colorado. My reward was quite special. The last light of the day kissed the top of 12,968 ft. Engineer Mountain while the soft pink light at the end of the day illuminated the snow below in Animas Valley.
This beautiful swinging bench was built by he graduating class of 2010 at Hanover College which was founded in 1827. This beautiful college has only had one major tornado in it's history. The grounds, buildings and landscaping were magnificent. It is written that Texan Woody Harrelson graduated from this college as did Indiana's Mike Pence. Both chose different paths from the same school.
Running the unusual way round of via Coventry then via Stechford and Aston, 70803 powers through Marston Green with 6X50 Westbury Down Yard to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings.
This was shot on Engineer Pass Road on the Lake City side. The aspens in this are were further along than other area I saw. I was probably a little early this year, but that is the way it goes.
Still had a good time this year, maybe next year will be better.
The engineer of this westbound grainer elected for the St. Paul Sub and through the Cutoff for their route to a Rollins Avenue crew change. From their, the new crew will make the journey across the Wayzata Sub to Willmar and beyond. Here they are properly on the Cutoff and bisecting Energy Park Drive.

So I've had this one done for awhile. It's like a mashup of the BF3 and BF4 engineer class. I'll have a separate picture of his gun as well. Inspirations will be added. Comments and Criticism are welcome. Kthxbai
Engineer John Teshara is all smiles as backs Southern Pacific steam locomotive #2472 down the track at Niles Canyon for a photo runby. John was a fireman on this very locomotive in the 1950's when it pulled commuter trains from San Jose to San Francisco. Niles Canyon is located near the city of Sunol, California.
