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.
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.
A view northwards taken from between the platforms at Oberoderwitz in July 1993. The original line to Löbau is visible at the extreme right, with the later route towards Ebersbach out of view behind the building to the left. The engineers’ vehicle is traversing the single line connection between the two routes.
The English Electric Lightning is a fighter aircraft that served as an interceptor during the 1960s, the 1970s and into the late 1980s. It remains the only UK-designed-and-built fighter capable of Mach 2. The Lightning was designed, developed, and manufactured by English Electric, which was later absorbed by the newly-formed British Aircraft Corporation. Later the type was marketed as the BAC Lightning. It was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).
A unique feature of the Lightning's design is the vertical, staggered configuration of its two Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet engines within the fuselage. The Lightning was initially designed and developed as an interceptor to defend the V bomber airfields from attack by anticipated future nuclear-armed supersonic Soviet bombers such as what emerged as the Tupolev Tu-22, but it was subsequently also required to intercept other bomber aircraft such as the Tupolev Tu-16 and the Tupolev Tu-95. The Lightning has exceptional rate of climb, ceiling, and speed; pilots have described flying it as "being saddled to a skyrocket". This performance and the initially limited fuel supply made the Lightning a "fuel-critical" aircraft, meaning that its missions are dictated to a high degree by its limited range. Later developments provided greater range and speed along with aerial reconnaissance and ground-attack capability.
Following retirement by the RAF in the late 1980s, many of the remaining aircraft became museum exhibits. Until 2009, three Lightnings were kept flying at "Thunder City" in Cape Town, South Africa. In September 2008, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers conferred on the Lightning its "Engineering Heritage Award" at a ceremony at BAE Systems' site at Warton Aerodrome.
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.
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!
Engineers working on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have successfully folded and packed its sunshield for its upcoming million-mile (roughly 1.5 million kilometer) journey, which begins later this year.
The sunshield — a five-layer, diamond-shaped structure the size of a tennis court — was specially engineered to fold up around the two sides of the telescope and fit within the confines of its launch vehicle, the Ariane 5 rocket. Now that folding has been completed at Northrop Grumman in Redondo Beach, California, the sunshield will remain in this compact form through launch and the first few days the observatory will spend in space.
Designed to protect the telescope’s optics from any heat sources that could interfere with its sight, the sunshield is one of Webb’s most critical and complex components. Because Webb is an infrared telescope, its mirrors and sensors need to be kept at extremely cold temperatures to detect faint heat signals from distant objects in the universe.

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.

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.

Sometime bright, sometimes overcast
CIrca 1977. My friend Al M., Editor-in-Chief for the 49er Engineer Magazine, pretends to be lying in wait wringing his hands hoping to snag more engineering students who might happen to be walking by. Hopefully they could be coerced to work on the staff of the magazine!
It was smply another gag shot taken as a potential staff photo. Al was an Electrical Engineering major.
In order to do groundbreaking science, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope must first perform an extremely choreographed series of deployments, extensions, and movements that bring the observatory to life shortly after launch. Too big to fit in any rocket available in its fully deployed form, Webb was engineered to intricately fold in on itself to achieve a much smaller size during transport.
Technicians and engineers recently tested a key part of this choreography by successfully commanding Webb to deploy the support structure that holds its secondary mirror in place. This is a critical milestone in preparing the observatory for its journey to orbit. The next time this will occur will be when Webb is in space, and on its way to gaze into the cosmos from a million miles away.

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

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)
Leans out the window at Stahl Rd a couple of years back. He and his conductor have just collected empty coal gon's for the return trip to the Powder River Basin.
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.
Leadville engineer showing them what the gears are for, we all had a chance to walk through the engine.
With a telephoto lens while standing on the Broadway Street bridge in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I was able to zoom in on the engineer's side of Amtrak P32-8 No. 510 as it led an eastbound train for Detroit (Pontiac). (Scanned from a slide)

The model of the locomotive is based as much as possible on the pictures, published by LEGO, i do not claim any rights for that.
