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!
With a big friendly wave is Engineer Bill Bivins at the throttle of GP40-2 3009 on the greatest little gem of a train to be found anywhere, the Hurricane Turn, the last true flag stop wilderness passenger train in the United States.

More than two decades ago I was in Berea watching trains when an eastbound CSX manifest freight stopped to wait on traffic ahead. The locomotive engineer invited me to come up to the cab to get some photographs. The view is looking east on the engineer's side. (Scanned from color negative film)
Leadville engineer showing them what the gears are for, we all had a chance to walk through the engine.
Railway engineers seen here at Beamish, working on the early steam locomotive 'Puffing Billy'. The 'great shed' of the waggonway is in the background.
The Pockerley Waggonway at Beamish represents the rail industry in the year 1825. Waggonways date from around 1600, and by the 1800s were common in mining areas, though prior to the invention of the steam engine they had been either horse or gravity driven.

Again on the same stretch of water as my previous shot; the night time views are definitely eye-catching and with a near-constant supply of river traffic, it's a great place to go if you like doing long exposures.

The Golden Gate Bridge
(Written upon completion of the Bridge in 1937
by Joseph P. Strauss, Chief Engineer, Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District )
I am the thing that men denied,
The right to be, the urge to live;
And I am that which men defied,
Yet I ask naught for what I give.
My arms are flung across the deep,
Into the clouds my towers soar,
And where the waters never sleep,
I guard the California shore.
Above the fogs of scorn and doubt,
Triumphant gleams my web of steel;
Still shall I ride the wild storms out,
And still the thrill of conquest feel.
The passing world may never know
The epic of my grim travail;
It matters not, nor friend or foe –
My place to serve and none to fail.
My being cradled in despair,
Now grown so wondrous fair and strong,
And glorified beyond compare,
Rebukes the error and the wrong.
Vast shafts of steel, wave-battered pier,
And all the splendor meant to be;
Wind-swept and free, these, year on year,
Shall chant my hymm of Victory!
Engineer Russell Smith holds the radio handset as he awaits a highball at Indianapolis. Smith, a Conrail employee, had begun his railroad career on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The last westbound National Limited would use former PRR tracks west of Terre Haute to St. Louis. But upon leaving Indianapolis Union Station it would be on a former New York Central route.

It's only a short story, but If you want to see photos of locomotives and railways in the sunshine don't read on ...
Well, I could tell you a romantic story, but I won't ... Because it was pretty hard to receive these keys and become a locomotive engineer ! I had to do a laser surgery on both eyes and succeeded many difficulties. The training and exams were tough and not all colleagues were collegial guys. In fact the professional Railway wasn't waiting for me with open arms as I expected - and still doesn't ! I'm just a replaceable worker who operates a machine and has to do his responsible duty all alone and copes with physically demanding working conditions. But if you are spared from a forced coexistence with annoying workmates, the solitude is also a benefit. Nevertheless operating a machine all alone gives you no human development possibilities ...
However, driving a locomotive and a train is a great feeling ! But it's not so cool how you think it is, before you really routinely experience it. Especially when you do it always and many times a day. So you have no perception of the landscape or surrounding details as you probably romantically imagine. But you are responsible for a lot of issues, when you are the only one in the forefront ! Your view is always focussed between the same quickly passing tracks, signals and poles, concentrated at the duties and devices in the cab and the stops at the stations. If you overrun a red signal, you will be suspended from the cab and job temporal or forever ...
So far so clear. When other people enjoy free time activities and meet friends, you are at work ! At weekends, at evenings, at holidays. And what about the wake-sleep cycle and potential sleeping problems, if you sometimes have to start work at night ? No comment, better don't ask ... Of course, like every other job the work of a locomotive engineer has advantages and disadvantages. But if we talk about the health risks of variable long workshifts the negatives definitely prevail and certainly also reduce your lifespan ! Anyway, the predictable automation of technical processes will kill this job within 30 years. So I belong to the last generation of this legendary profession and after all I have achieved what I was dreaming about:
The Railway determines and dominates my life ...

Whilst out on my daily walks on Monday and Tuesday I noticed the engineer car at Bispham, so today decided to take my camera with me. The work carried out at Bispham was to raise the overhead at the northern end of the loop and 723 was used to test it out. 20th May 2020.
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 the 19th century, civil engineers built a street named Strada Nuova through Cannaregio, and a railway bridge and road bridge were constructed to connect Venice directly to Mestre. Today, the areas of the district along the Grand Canal from the train station to the Rialto Bridge are packed with tourists, but the rest of Cannaregio is residential and relatively peaceful, with morning markets, neighborhood shops, small cafés... and this cute puppy.
Mr. Skelton, KittyCrew Engineering Officer of the USS Tarkus... yes, we DO have mice in space... thus we have Skelton to contend with them and keep the warpcore secure.

As a 15 year old apprentice engineer I was told to go and see the storekeeper and ask him for nuts, bolts, tub of grease, all the usual stuff, only this time I was told to get a long weight and not to come back without it. I got everything on the list fairly quickly --- except for the long weight, after 15 or 20 minutes I’d had one ---------------------------------- and I got it!
This guy looks like he’s been sent out for the same thing ------------ I’m sure it’s character building.
This window display in Nailsworth is yet to win any awards.

NASA engineers inspect a new piece of technology developed for the James Webb Space Telescope, the micro shutter array, with a low light test at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Developed at Goddard to allow Webb's Near Infrared Spectrograph to obtain spectra of more than 100 objects in the universe simultaneously, the micro shutter array uses thousands of tiny shutters to capture spectra from selected objects of interest in space and block out light from all other sources.
