Just after sunrise, and with the morning mist over the fields, 56090 leads the late running 6C83, 04.20 Battersby to Doncaster Up Decoy engineers train, past Shipton-by-Benningbrough. 56096 on the rear
UP Engineering Special, running under Symbol PJCPR2 crosses over the Meramec River in Sherman, MO running on Track 1 of the UP Jefferson City Sub near MP 24 on June 14, 2018.
My day had started with dropping my youngest daughter at Vashon High School to take the ACT. I figured I'd bop over to Luther and see what showed up, maybe head over to Venice or Madison for a bit. Word came along about this Special being called out of Jefferson City and already to Gasconade by the time word got to me. I hopped on 70, zoomed through downtown STL, then blasted out I-44 to get to the best EB shot I could think of in the area. The trip took about 45 minutes and I got the Sherman with about 15 min to spare. Quite the haul for what would turn out to be the only decent catch I got of it.

With the sun dipping in and out, Colas Rail Class 56 56105 leads 56096 on 6C30 12.00 Kilburn Up and Down Goods Loop - Crewe Basford Hall approaching Lichfield Trent Valley
Engineering work was taking place between Harrogate and Leeds on 21st June 2020. Here, Colas class 70/8 no. 70810 heads a ballast train, the 14.08 from Doncaster Belmont to Harrogate, entering the single line section at Poppleton.
Museum Railway Station, on the underground City Circle route at the southern end of Hyde Park in the central business district. In Sydney, Australia.
Designed by John Bradfield in the Inter-War Stripped Classical architectural style. Museum's signage and cream tiling with maroon highlights are reminiscent of a typical London Underground tube station of the era, however its layout of central tracks under a grand arch are more in keeping with older stations of the Paris Métro.
Railway development in Sydney began with the opening of the Sydney to Parramatta line in 1850. The terminus was a considerable distance from most of the City's shops and workplaces. Disembarked railway passengers were required to either walk or be horse drawn and in later years steam and electrically powered trams.
Throughout the second half of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century, Sydney developed a tram based public transport system. However, the growth in population and increased residential density in the inner suburban areas resulted in the heavy congestion.
In 1894 funds were made available and plans prepared for a railway line extension. A change of Colonial Government, however, caused the abandonment of the project.
Mounting public concern over the increasing congestion of street traffic eventually forced the Government to appoint a Royal Commission in 1890, however due to concerns of loss of an area of Hyde Park the plan was abandoned.
No further action was taken until 1896 when the Premier was forced "in the interest of the safety and comfort of the travelling public' to appoint a second Royal Commission to investigate and report on a suitable route. In 1900, agreement on a City railway service could not be achieved again.
In 1908 a "Royal Commission on Improvement of the City of Sydney and its Suburbs" was appointed and recommended a plan for a loop railway. Six underground stations were to be located in the positions of the Central, Town Hall, Wynyard, Circular Quay, St James, and Museum stations of today.
In 1912 the Government commissioned the engineering firm of Mott and Hay who recommended lines to the suburbs. The scheme was not adopted being judged expensive, inefficient, and impractical on numerous counts.
In February 1915 the Chief Engineer of Metropolitan Railway Construction, John Bradfield, after studying the city railways of Europe and North America, submitted his "Report on the Proposed Electric Railways for the City of Sydney".
Work on the City railway system commenced in 1916 with the firm of Norton, Griffiths and Co beginning excavations tunnelling and foundation building. After the firm's contract was cancelled in early 1918, work was taken over by the Department of Railways. Funding problems resulting from World War 1 austerity measures and political indecision forced construction to cease.
From 1917 to 1922, Bradfield maintained a publicity campaign to rally support for his scheme. He presented papers before conferences, professional bodies, public groups, union organisations and the popular press. A City railway built to his plan would benefit workers, property owners and local government.
Excavation work for Museum Station began in 1922, the imagination of the public was captivated as crowds gathered daily to view construction of the tunnels and stations beneath the Hyde Park grounds.
The railway attracted tens of thousands of people during the first few weeks of its operations, "swarms of interested mothers and fathers, together with their children, thronged the platforms and stairways examining Dr Bradfield's super Christmas box to the public".

W. 56th St., NY, NY. Hoping someone can explain how those two outriggers work. Seems like there should be four of them to keep it from toppling.....can some of you engineers out there explain?

To boldly go where no "fan" has gone before... you need a good warp and of course a clean and well maintained engineering room. So here's Scotty's kingdom where everything is possible even fixing the core with an old spoon ;D
Steel & Solitude: The Northern Offshore Chronicles
This cinematic series offers a visceral look into the high-stakes environment of an offshore oil rig battling the relentless elements of the North Sea. Through a collection of wide atmospheric vistas and tight, grit-focused details, the images chronicle the daily life of industrial labor in one of the world’s most unforgiving landscapes.
The visual narrative transitions from the massive engineering of the platform standing defiant against churning dark waves to the personal resilience of the crew. Key moments include the arrival of transport helicopters through torrential rain, the intense glow of welding sparks against a moody blue twilight, and the weathered faces of workers in high-visibility gear. Each frame is meticulously crafted to emphasize the scale of human ambition versus the raw power of the ocean, utilizing a dramatic color palette that highlights the warmth of industrial machinery against the freezing, spray-filled air of the open sea.
All images in this collection were generated using Artificial Intelligence.
Another view of my Engineering Section playset.
I forgot to mention that is the second version of TOS engineering room, the first one that appears in the first episode had no stairs and no second level.
was on my way to work this morning, i noticed this couple building their house ...
the place seemed to me little risky, if the water goes high...but what do i know?! They know better...
the shot is simple, i didn't like to disturb them and get closer...but i was wondering what are those genes telling these animals what to build how to build where to build??? I was amazed by the ability of the swan picking up reed and trying to cut others ...nature is amazing!
This one's for the car fans. Though I suspect only the rotary fans will fully appreciate this one.
This is the front yard of Fujita Engineering, one of the most renowned rotary workshops in Japan (if not the world). In the foreground is one of their famous FD RX-7s, behind, an FC, and a Cosmo.
In case you're wondering, rotary refers to the type of engine (not the piston type found in 99.99% of cars in the world), not a group of networking businessmen.

When we visited the Colosseum, the day began with some promising sun rays emanating from behind the structure. As the morning passed, it began to rain furiously. Nonetheless, we were able to enjoy the tour of such a magnificent structure. One that we as a collective society would not be able to reproduce until the 1900s. It's astonishing to think that this was built between 72-80AD without the trappings of modern engineering.
"Hypogeum" is the Greek word for underground. The floor of the Colosseum is an array of arches, chambers and tunnels. From archeaological discoveries, it appears that the concentric patterns show exhibits of cantilevers that were used to bring up cages during the prize fights between animals. Until the 1930s, the floor was buried under 40 feet of dirt and traces of its function had been forgotten. Excavations began in the mid-1800s and culminated under Mussolini's glorification of Classical Rome.

About: The Colosseum, or the Coliseum, originally the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin: Amphitheatrum Flavium, Italian Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo), is an elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy, the largest ever built in the Roman Empire, built of concrete and stone. It is considered one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and Roman engineering. Construction started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian and was completed in 80 AD under Titus.

But No Replacement Bus Service !!
During the week I was in Scarborough , the Central Cliff Lift ( Tramway ) was closed because of work on the tracks .
Regrettably I had to walk up the adjacent stairs . It took me over 15 minutes , and two squirts of my Angina spray .
