Engineer Soldiers from the Fort Drum, N.Y. based 642nd Engineer Company recently wrapped up a productive six-week deployment to Fort A.P. Hill, Va.
While they were at A.P. Hill the Engineers completed a number of construction and demolition projects that saved the post nearly $1 million. The deployment also provided valuable training opportunities for the Soldiers.
The Engineers demolished an old prisoner of war compound, installed several security gates, rehabilitated and improved the drainage at an old demolitions range.
During a brief awards ceremony before they redeployed to Drum, U.S. Army Garrison Fort A.P. Hill commander Lt. Col. Peter E. Dargle praised them for their hard work and contributions to the post.

So two engineers trains, I had nipped out to get a shot of 66759 and 66758 on the GBRf engineers returning back to Westbury but the Colas engineers turned up instead with 70811. I don't know why, 70811 always seems to be on everything I see, even this being unexpected with Colas!
When 66759 finally arrived later then expected, the light had started to change, by time the rear of the train had passed by, it was raining and dull. - typical for everything I photograph!

I shot these last year at the Orange Empire Railway Museum. I decided to post them today in memory of Walt Shelton. Who was one of my contacts who passed away on the 14th of February. He was a railfan and that's how I got to know him. Some of his photos were from the same place. Sorry to here about his passing, we were from the same town and I hardly got to know you.
Matthew (in a green shirt) is a 5th year Computer Engineering student at Queen's University. Just as he was explaining the difference between Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering, he was called into a huddle to help fellow students work out a problem in their student lab. The lab is in the very modern Beamish-Munro Hall on campus.
Parsons Polygon’ on Blackett Street, was commissioned in 1985, it is primarily a ventilation shaft for the Metro station below and is clad with moulded terracotta tiles made from the same clay used for Eldon Square’s bricks.
The artist used the commission as an opportunity to provide a monument to Sir Charles Parsons (1854-1931) the creator of Turbinia, a steam turbine powered vessel which achieved 35 knots. The designs pressed into the clay are abstracted from Parsons’ engineering drawings creating a work which David Hamilton saw, ‘not as a statue of the man, but a symbol of his stature amongst engineers and the world at large’.
One of the remaining houses on Old Eldon Square, also acts as a ventilation shaft for the Metro
Army engineer Sgt.

Secretary of Public Safety Brian Moran, Deputy Secretary of Public Safety Tonya Vincent, Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Long, Jr., the Adjutant General of Virginia, and Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Green, the Virginia National Guard's senior enlisted leader, visit Guard Soldiers serving on state active duty in Richmond, Petersburg and Powhatan Feb. 13, 2014. Long and Green first visited the Soldiers and members of the Virginia Defense Force working in the Virginia Emergency Operations Center in Richmond, then the group visited Petersburg and Powhatan where Soldiers from the 276th Engineer Battalion were staged and ready to respond. At each location they thanked the Soldiers for their service as part of more than 200 Va. Guard personnel on duty in response to severe winter weather across the commonwealth.

Several students from Ramsay High School learned how to power light bulbs and build model houses at the Southside Branch Library thanks to Teens Engineer BHM, a program offered by the Birmingham Public Library in partnership with the UAB School of Engineering. The afterschool engineering program is offered weekly at the Central, Woodlawn, and Southside Libraries. It was expanded after receiving a $50,000 grant in 2016 from the UAB Benevolent Fund.

DOTC-STEM and Women In Defense (WID) are working together to celebrate Introduce a Girl to Engineering Month. The initial program is an Open House where female high school students can interact informally with female ARDEC engineers to discuss the advantages and opportunities of being an engineer.
Virginia National Guard Soldiers from the West Point-based 237th Engineer Company prepare for possible duty in response to Hurricane Irene in Onancock August 26 by staging vehicles, equipment and fuel.

The temples of Khajuraho were built between 950 to 1050 A.D. during the Chandela dynasty of Central India (These rulers claimed descent from the moon, hence the name Chand-ela). After the decline of the Chandela dynasty in 13th century, the temples were left under the cover of dense date palm trees for many years, which gave the city of Khajuraho its name, Khajur in Hindi means a date. In the ancient times it was known as Vatsa.
In 1838, a British army engineer, Captain T.S. Burt rediscovered them. By that time only 22 of the original 85 temples had survived.
During the Chandela rule, many towns in Bundelkhand including Khajuraho were home to large and flourishing Jain communities. At Khajuraho the Jains apparently lived on the east side of town. A number of Jain temples from that period have survived in this part of Khajuraho in various states of preservation. Many Jain inscriptions from the Chandela period can be seen at Khajuraho. All the Jain temples are now enclosed within a compound wall constructed in early 20th century, with the exception of the Ghantai temple.
Two of the large temples - Parshvanath Temple and Adinath Temple - still stand in a good state of preservation.
The Adinath Temple contains an idol with an inscription dated Sam 1215 during the rule of Chandella king Madanavarman. Dedicated to Jain Tirthankar (God), adinath, the temple is lavishly embellished with sculpted figures, including yakshis.
Section of the panoramic photo I found in my grandfather's old belongings. The bottom says "Recruit Battalion 5th Engineers Camp A.A. Humphreys VA August 1st, 1918. Tr. Regiment". My grandfather wasn't old enough to be one of the probably thousand individuals in the photo (which is about 9 inches in height, 54 inches in length). The front mark in the corner says "Clements, Wash. DC". Don't know a lot of the history but dried it out and had it archivally framed. It had been rolled in the damp basement for probably many years so it's in decent condition for what it went through.
A large flight of Soldiers from 7th Engineer Battalion returned to Fort Drum and were welcomed back by their families, friends and fellow Soldiers. (22 Oct. 2012)

At least you get livery variety with 66s. GBRf 66733 'Cambridge PSB' leads DB 66194 through Stenson Junction, at the head of 6X44 the 11:13 Bescot to Toton North Yard engineer's train. A well timed shot with 4F62 the East Mids Gateway to Seaforth intermodal having only just passed in time!
66733 is showing the typical window frame rusting as seen on quite a few of the class.
A friend has been a senior engineer with the sewage works within a large Canadian city, and shared with me all of the rather earthy joking that goes with the job. There seems to be no glory in sewers.
When I came across this statue to the engineer builder of the London sewage system, I was impressed by how the English glorified the buider of their sewage system. The memorial is prominently on display along the Thames River by Victoria Embankment.
Here is some more info on Sir Joseph Bazalgette.
