The edges of these Florence engineered flooring boards meet squarely creating a uniform, smooth surface that blends the floor together from board to board. The overall look of this floor gives a contemporary flair and formal feeling to the room.
The engineered floors are prefinished with a very durable satin lacquer which leaves the floor with an even sheen that gently reflects the light. The lacquer also gives great protection to the hardwood itself and allows for easier cleaning and maintenance.
The family grade of this hardwood shows the true excellent appearance of the wood.
Every weekend the fylde line is closed off for engineering work. Unfortunately i only had my phone at hand this time round to snap this. But we see one of the trains sat at Carleton LC.

CHESAPEAKE, Va. -- Since May 2010, a film crew from Germany’s national and international ARD broadcast radio, TV and online web service has followed Canadian’s Joyce and Joe Essery, as they travel on their vessel, the Takitez II, from Daytona Beach, Fla., to New York City, via the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW). The Essery’s have cruised the Great Loop since last September, and are returning to Ontario, Canada. The AIWW provides pleasure boaters and commercial shippers with a protected inland channel between Norfolk, Va., and Miami, Fla. ARD is producing a travel documentary of the AIWW, which will air in Germany this fall. As they travel the AIWW and meet up with the Essery’s on different occasions to document their journey, they are also interviewing people along the way, and filming the scenic sights unique to the AIWW. Last Wednesday, May 26, the Essery’s made their way through the Dismal Swamp Canal (DSC), a 22-mile stretch of the AIWW, which is managed by the Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The DSC is the oldest continually operating man-made canal in the United States. Stopping at Deep Creek Lock, the ARD crew filmed “snowbirds” traveling the AIWW and interviewed Corps lock masters Robert Peek and George Brazil, along with George Ramsey, DSC Society historian, to learn more about the rich history of the DSC.

Une des raisons pour lesquelles j'aime cette photo par-dessus tout, c'est qu'elle revele sans le vouloir un.... truc. Evidemment si je dis ce que c'est, ce sera pas drole.
Je n'aurais pas pu faire mieux, si j'avais essaye (et croyez-moi, j'ai essaye vraiment)

Image from the Henthorpe collection. Arthur Henthorpe was an American railroad engineer, who went to France during WWI to help out with the war effort. About the photos, he wrote in 1977, “…they were taken by French aviators who were billeted near Souilly, Meuse, where I switched cars nights [during] the fall and winter of 1917. These aviators were wonderful guys and seemed to take a liking to us and went out of their way to be friendly." They gave Arthur these photos.

What better way than to spend the fishing opener weekend by running full size trains! In yet another shameless self promotion I am seen here at the controls of a Burlington Northern SD-9 #6234 running a passenger train for our museum tourist operations out of Osceola, Wisconsin.

In a very prominent location, makes sense as civil engineers were pretty much responsible for the construction of all manners of roads, railways, bridges etc. during the colonial era.

DRS 88004 and 66432 work the daily(?) Doncaster to Millerhill engineers working. It is thought that 88009 (seen earlier) will replace 88004 on this working as they appear to rotate every 4 weeks or so, presumably to equalise the mileages across the fleet.

My granddad worked as an aircraft engineer in the war and for Dan Air afterward before working for Lotus. I guess he must have acquired this while working for Dan Air?
