May 23, 2015 was 'At the Throttle' day at the North Carolina Transportation Museum in Spencer, NC.. I was lucky enough to get a stint operating this fascinating and historic locomotive. One of the 10 happy engineers waving at his friends while operating this wonderful piece of history.
Checked into WWDC08 this afternoon, and picked up my speaker badge and this awesome "Apple Engineer" T-Shirt. Neat.
A photo showing the Engineer gold mine on Taku Arm in northern British Columbia in about 1927. The steamship seen approaching is the famous Tutshi - LINK showing this same image only on a postcard - www.explorenorth.com/library/mining/images/engineer_mine1...
The steamer S.S. Tutshi was the "queen" of the British Yukon Navigation Company's fleet. She was constructed at Carcross and launched on June 12, 1917. At 1,040 tons, the Tutshi was one of the larger boats in the Yukon. She had a crew of 29 and could carry 135 passengers. Her original run was between Carcross and Graham Inlet on Tagish Lake. Although the Tutshi carried freight (mail, groceries etc.), she was built primarily as an excursion boat. Between 1920 and 1926, she underwent three expansions to accommodate the bustling tourist trade. The Tutshi carried up to 135 passengers all of whom were first class. The S.S. Tutshi was the biggest passenger carrying ship of its time, and the only one with room service. One of the Tutshi's destinations was Ben-My-Chree. Ben-My-Chree was the site of a mine in the early 1900's, but the mine caved in, and the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Partridge, never reopened it. Instead they imported plants and trees from around the world and converted the area to a beautiful garden spot. They had literally recreated an English country garden where spectacular displays of flowers could be seen and enjoyed by all. The Tutshi brought tourists here to view the beautiful gardens. The elderly couple would entertain their visitors with sing-songs around their organ and serve them a delicious fare including tea, cakes and rhubarb wine. The overnight trip would end back in Carcross the next morning. An alternate excursion to Atlin, B.C. was available until 1936. The Tutshi was one of the first sternwheeler's to be converted from wood to oil, a modification made in 1925 largely for the comfort of the passengers. The Tutshi made her last trip to Ben-My Chree in 1955 and her last trip ever in 1956 when she was used to pull a barge of railway ties from Taku Arm to Carcross. In July of that year she was pulled out of the water and remained abandoned on the shores of the Natasahini River until 1971 when the Yukon Government purchased it and became involved in her restoration. She was beached on the shore of Lake Bennett at Carcross in 1972, repainted in 1977 and the real restoration work was begun in 1984. By early 1990 she was almost restored to her former beauty when sadly, the S.S. Tutshi was destroyed in an early morning fire on July 25, 199O.

German postcard by Edition Panorama Berlin, no. 715. Photo: Filmmuseum Berlin / Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek. Gustav Fröhlich in Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927).
Smart German actor Gustav Fröhlich (1902-1987) played Freder Fredersen in the classic Metropolis (1927) and became a popular star in light comedies. After the war, he tried to escape from the standard roles of a charming gentleman with the part of a doomed painter in Die Sünderin/The Sinner (1951), but the effort went down in a scandal.
Gustav Friedrich Fröhlich was born an illegitimate child in Hannover, Germany in 1902. His father, Gustav König, was a well-known engineer, and his mother Hedwig Therese Sophie Fröhlich, the daughter of a worker. Gustav was raised by foster parents. His foster family moved around western Germany a lot while he was growing up, living in cities like Wiesbaden and Wurzburg. He studied at the Homuth Realgymnasium Friedenau in Berlin. During World War I the young Gustav volunteered for duty in occupied Brussels as supervisor of the press. In 1919 he started his career as a trainee at a newspaper, but he spent his spare time as an emcee at local variety shows. He also wrote two issues of a dime novel, Heinz Brandt, der Fremdenlegionär/Heinz Brandt, the Foreign Legionnaire. After some entrances at a vaudeville theater under the stage name Gustav Geef, he took acting lessons in Heilbronn. In the next few years, he appeared on different minor German stages. In Berlin, he played from 1923 till 1925 at the Volksbühne am Bülowplatz under the direction of Erwin Piscator. Later he appeared as The Prince of Homburg at the Deutsche Theater under the direction of Max Reinhardt. His film debut was a small role in a Dutch-German film produced in Germany, De bruut/Ein neues Leben/The Brute (Theo Frenkel, 1922) with Erna Morena and Adolphe Engers. He then played a secondary role as composer Franz Liszt in Paganini (Heinz Goldberg, 1923) featuring Conrad Veidt. In the following years, he played in such films as Friesenblut (1925) opposite Jenny Jugo. Then Fröhlich landed his breakthrough role as Freder Fredersen in Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927) by chance. He was only scheduled to play one of the workmen but four weeks after the beginning he was discovered on the set by Thea von Harbou, Fritz Lang's wife. Lang immediately cast him in the lead because of his striking good looks. A new star was born.
After Metropolis, Gustav Fröhlich was typecast as the fresh-faced, naive 'boy next door' in such silent films as Die elf Teufel/The Eleven Devils (Zoltan Korda, Carl Boese, 1927) with Evelyn Holt, Heimkehr/Homecoming (Joe May, 1928) opposite Lars Hanson, and Asphalt (Joe May, 1929), in which he played an honest policeman who is seduced by a crook (Betty Amann). In 1930, Fröhlich was called to Hollywood by Warner Brothers to do German versions of American sound films, such as Die heilige Flamme/The Holy Flames (William Dieterle (as Wilhelm Dieterle), Berthold Viertel, 1931) and Kismet (William Dieterle, 1931), both with Dita Parlo. Back in Germany, he soon was subscribed for Max Ophüls’ musical comedy Die verliebte Firma/The Company's in Love (1931) next to Lien Deyers, and for Robert Siodmak's crime drama Voruntersuchung/Inquest (1931) with Albert Bassermann. He often worked with director Géza von Bolváry. Between 1931 and 1933 they made six films together. These include Ich will nicht wissen, wer du bist/I Do Not Want to Know Who You Are (Géza von Bolváry, 1932) with Liane Haid, and Was Frauen träumen/What Women Dream (Géza von Bolváry, 1933), which was co-written by Billy Wilder. Fröhlich often played smart gentlemen in lighthearted musicals and romances. Because of his carefree attendance, Fröhlich was seldom allowed to play other characters. One of his greatest successes was his part of the helpful and likable policeman in Oberwachtmeister Schwenke (Carl Froelich, 1935). He also directed films like Rakoczy-Marsch/Rakoczy march (Gustav Fröhlich, Steve Sekely, 1933), Abenteuer eines jungen Herrn in Polen/Love and Alarm (1934), and after the war Wege im Zwielicht/Paths in Twilight (1948), Der Bagnosträfling/The Prisoner (1949) with Paul Dahlke, and the crime drama Die Lüge/The Lie (1950) with Otto Gebühr.
Between 1931 and 1935 Gustav Fröhlich was married to Hungarian Opera star and actress Gitta Alpár. When she was pregnant form their daughter Julika, he left her. According to Alpár, because she was Jewish and he did not want to hurt his career in Nazi Germany. After the war, Fröhlich tried reconciliation with Gitta Alpár but she never forgave him. Reportedly this gave him a tough time at old-age. From 1936 till 1938 he lived together with actress LÃda Baarová, his costar in Barcarole (Gerhard Lamprecht, 1935) and Leutnant Bobby, der Teufelskerl/A Devil of a Fellow (Georg Jacoby, 1935). After losing LÃda to Joseph Goebbels, Froelich had a quarrel with him. There is an urban legend that the quarrel culminated in a slap in the face of the powerful and feared Propaganda-Minister. Allegedly, Froehlich was banned from playing his trade for two years (1941-1943). LÃda Baarová later denied this in her memoirs. In 1937, he rented his house in Berchtesgaden to Adolph Hitler's architect, Albert Speer. In 1941 Fröhlich remarried Maria Hajek. Since 1941 he had to serve for the Wehrmacht, interrupted by film engagements like Der Grosse König/The Great King (Veit Harlan, 1942) starring Otto Gebühr as Prussian king Friedrich the Second.
Gustav Fröhlich was seldom involved in Nazi Propaganda films, a fact that helped him to establish a new film career after World War II. He tried to escape from the standard roles of the charming gentleman by playing a doomed painter in Die Sünderin/The Sinner (Willi Forst, 1951). The effort went down in the chaos of a scandal because of the film's open treatment of several taboos such as suicide and euthanasia, plus a brief nude performance by Hildegard Knef. He went on to play leads in light entertainment films including Haus des Lebens/House of Life (Karl Hartl, 1952) with Cornell Borchers, and Die kleine Stadt will schlafen gehen/The Little Town Will Go to Sleep (Hans H. König, 1954) with Jester Naefe. He remained a busy actor after the war but his roles changed from leading men to supporting parts as he got older. From the 1960s on, he had only a few TV film entrances including a part in the comedy Laubenkolonie/Allotment area (Heribert Wenk, Bertold Sakmann, 1968) with Paul Dahlke. He was more active in the theatre, a.o. for the Renaissance-Theater in Berlin and the Schauspielhaus in Zürich. In 1973 he was honoured with the Filmband in Gold, the German Film Award for Lifetime Achievements. Ten years later, he published his autobiography Waren das Zeiten - Mein Film-Heldenleben/Those Were Times - My Life as a Film Hero (1983). His last public appearance was in 1986 when Giorgio Moroder presented his revised version of Metropolis. From 1956 on, Gustav Fröhlich lived in Lugano, Switzerland. There he died in 1987 of a complication after surgery, at age 85. His wife Maria Hajek had passed away earlier that same year.

This is one of two photographs from 2002 showing Louis Sanderson motor engineers toward the end of it's time operating under the family name which dates back to the 1930's.
I'm assuming fuel sales ended at least five years prior to this photo being taken when there was still quite a high demand for four star petrol. I do believe the three pumps on show are Gilbarco highlines dating back from the 1970's which appear to all have panels for selecting different grades of petrol so I'm almost certain that 2/3/4 star petrol would have been available at one point.
There appears to be two older pumps one of the left of the forecourt and the other on the right under the floodlight which were probably diesel pumps but cannon confirm this.
I'm not sure if the garage was still trading around this time despite two cars on the forecourt.
Today this is Mellors Garage which has operated under this name since 2005/2006

Ever since I saw those track pieces I wanted to recreate the engineer's rancho relaxo taunt.
Original plan to meet dan called off due to rain,so beer and a simple indoor faff the order of the night....blast of vape and laser ,then a torch for the shadow, lit the side of the figurine with a gelled green torch,followed by a couple splashes of the flash, and another dash of vape......Gasmark F16 for 54.2 seconds.

Here's another shot from my recent trip in the San Juan Mountains. While I didn't shoot a lot during this trip (it was a vacation with the wife), I spent almost every morning trying to capture this scene of Engineer Mountain reflecting in Boyce Lake. Thank goodness my wife is not a morning person...thus giving me the opportunity to scratch my photographic itch! The conditions were fickle at best and this was the best I could do after four pre-dawn trips to this spot. Too many clouds, no clouds, too much wind, and even some pesky, reflection-killing beavers all contributed to my frustration. In the end, I considered myself fortunate to come away with this image. Patience and persistence are most certainly requisite virtues amongst photographers!
Finally got the right angle!😎

The Engineer controlling one of the two huge James Watt Beam Engines at Papplewick Pumping Station.
South Shore Engineer Paul Barnes has 33's controller on the post as we head to Chicago in April 1975.
Paul had quite a career with the South Shore. He started in 1939 in the B&B dept. then off to WWll in the Navy, came back in 1945 as a collector. He went off to Korea and came back in 1953 and entered Engine Service, and worked freight for 10 years straight. He ran everything the South Shore had, from Steeple Cabs to 700's, 800's Orange cars and made the transition to the new cars and retired in 1988. He passed away a few years ago. A real Railroader!
GBRf class 66/7 no. 66729 'Derby County' heads a Civil Engineers' working, 6G40 from Cramlington to Doncaster Belmont, past Copmanthorpe on 30th September 2025.
I had planned to go for a walk in the Wyre Forest with the wife and was packing the walking boots in the boot of the car when I heard the unmistakeable thrash of a tractor on the SVR. To hell with the walk and with camera duly collected I headed over to Bewdley station in the hope of a shot. Fortunately, ex-DRS 37688 shorn of DRS decals was still on the bridge at Bewdley with an engineers train comprising of five seacows and brake van.
The walk was somewhat delayed but with some decent shots of this surprise working in the bag the walk was more enjoyable than usual. These are a few photos of the working.
