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 think the one in the window is named "Happy" and the one to his left is named "Grumpy." Not sure why. (Knott's Berry Farm.)
This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Though, sadly I admit that I never took enough of these types of photographs, but those few that I do have deserve to be edited and shared in an album of their own. So, look for more soon in what will be a little series of Alaskan Railroaders.
I had the absolute pleasure to work with the finest and most dedicated group of railroaders in all the land for six wonderful years from 2007 to 2013. It was the greatest honor of my life to lead these men and women as we worked as a team to grow service and become more efficient all while doing it safely in some of the harshest conditions to be found anywhere. And as the smiles in these photos will attest, we strove to have FUN while doing it. As in all jobs, there were bad days and frustrating times and personal conflicts that arise in any organization. But more than anywhere I have ever worked in more than two decades now, there was truly an esprit de corps on the Alaska Railroad and the pride these fine folks felt about their chose career was palpable day in and day out.
I hope these images help show you a tiny glimpse into that wonderful world that was once my family and my home. So raise a glass to the finest railroaders I’ve ever known!

Dates from the late 20s/30s. The cap badge seems to belong to the Royal Engineers.
Whilst everyone else concentrated on their river vessels, I was more interested in 66849 working the engineers train at Golant on 18th July 2021
The Kampf Ingenieur Panzer-2 is a combat engineering vehicle built by Konigsblau Systems and derived from the SPZ-50 Samurai IFV Hull. The vehicle features a powerful excavator bucket, as well as internal and external stowage for tools. It carries 6 combat engineers, along with a driver and gunner who may also be used for extra hands if needed. The Kipz-2 are usually held in battalion engineer sections, or the brigade engineer battalion, in typical operations, the vehicles are often attached one per company from the battalion engineer section.

Margaret Hamilton during her time as lead flight software engineer for Apollo. She and her team wrote the code for the inflight software of the spacecraft, and her work contributed to the safe landing of Apollo 11 on the moon in 1969.
Does she have the same chin as the actress Margaret Hamilton, who played the Wicked Witch of the West?
She also reminds me of Amy Farrah Fowler.

This is a photo from my archives. I took this shot near the top of Engineer Pass. I have reworked this photo and reposted it. I had to try my new skills in Lightroom 3.3.
To me this is like being on the top of the world, it is so beautiful and so close to heaven it is a religious experience. I only wish I had a shot of my husband riding his horse and leading the pack string of mules down through this.
I hope you enjoy this shot and thanks for visiting my photostream and leaving your comments.

The second edition of the vast publication the "Municipal and Road Engineers' Standard Catalogue, 1929 - 1932" contains many hundreds of pages of adverts showing plant, appliances and supplies across a wide range of 'municipal' engineering such as road construction, lighting, refuse disposal, water supplies and sewerage and park equipment.
A rather fine advert issued by the Ipswich concern of Cocksedge & Co, described as engineers and ironfounders and showing a selection of their wares. The note alongside the direction posts comments on the 'Ministry of Transport's recommendations' and these are likely to be the 1933 that attempted to standardise the designs of the UK's road signs. Th eadvert shows some of the 'new' road signs as well as direction posts - it is difficult to know if these are 'fictional' although the West Yorkshire one could be 'real'. There's also a comparatively late showing for a milestone or post - not many of these were being made and fitted by the 1930s.
(Photo by Hattersley) This is another scan of a print from my collection. Photo circa the 1990s.
Through most of the 1990s, this 1985 Ford C-Series/Beck squad ran in tandem with Truck 23 (see below) as a two-piece company. Prior to that, from the time of its entry into service with the Citrus Heights Fire District until 1991, Squad 23 was a separate company, staffed by a captain and an engineer--plus a firefighter in the jump-seat if one was available.
In 1989, Citrus Heights FD merged with the Rancho Cordova Fire Protection District to form the Sacramento County Fire Protection District.
This is the last former Citrus Heights Fire District apparatus still in service with successor agency Sacramento Metro Fire, having been converted to a dry-chemical response unit for aircraft emergencies at McClellan Field. It is now known as RAMP 114.
Colas 66846 heads up the (almost) daily Hinksey to Eastleigh engineers. A handsome train.

Engineer Keith Weaver gives a big wave from ex-Conrail SD60M 5532 as he heads east through Geneseo, IL with the 140-car SIPE-25.

Jasper tests his theory that if you enhance the user experience by making it easier for the humans to reach the ball, they're more likely to stay engaged in the game. Theory confirmed.
Cocky and arrogant, the Engineers are young and completely full of themselves even though they aren't technically supposed to use firearms. Fortunately for the Blood Wolves army, we don't rely on technicalities.
In other news, some of my favorite TV shows either ended their season or lost on of their stars so expect a Top Shot and The Office scene soon :3

There is no message on reverse. Unfortunately the photo is too grainy to make out the cap badges, though the wreath shape along with the grenade badges on the collars leads me to the Royal Engineers.
