May 1977. Three of my friends who were Civil Engineering majors descend Long Beach State's Hardfact Hill to Lower Campus at the conclusion of their graduation ceremony. The College of Engineering, as it is known now, sits on Lower Campus. Many of the graduating class' friends and families would be waiting there to congratulate and receive them on the occasion.
The informal tradition was for engineering grads to don striped railroad engineer's caps to signify the occasion.

Jill admires the Landwasser Viaduct, probably one of the most iconic (and most photographed) railway bridges in the world.
The Landwasser Viaduct is on the Albula Line of the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) near Filisur, Albula Valley, Graubünden, Switzerland. For many people, this viaduct, built in 1901-02, is one of the quintessential experiences of the Rhaetian Railway, famous for its height (64m), its curve, its grace and its engineering audacity in taking the track straight into a tunnel entrance in a vertical cliff (upper R). But it is actually just one of many spectacular bridges and other engineering works of RhB, which is one reason why the Albula Line and Bernina Line have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As well as normal service trains of the network (as here), the trains of the popular Glacier Express and Bernina Express pass over it. But the best way to see this viaduct is also to stop in the area to explore the immediate vicinity, where it can be photographed from many levels, above and below. Unfortunately, on the day of this photo, the weather was overcast.
RAILWAY NOTES: THE RHAETIAN RAILWAY
The Rhaetian Railway (Rhätische Bahn, RhB) is a 384 Km narrow gauge (metre gauge) system, and is the regional rail network of the Swiss canton of Graubünden. It connects to the Swiss national standard gauge network at Chur and Landquart, with the Italian national standard gauge network at Tirano, and with the metre gauge Matterhorn-Gotthard railway at Disentis. Although some of the Rhaetian network was steam-hauled when first built, it is now all electrified. Amongst its many claims to fame is that it runs in almost all weathers, including the Alpine winter, and over several mountain passes.
There is a huge amount of documentation of the Rhaetian Railway in numerous languages, including the official RhB website, Wikipedia and www.rail-info.ch/RhB/index.en.html.
RAILWAY NOTES: THE TRAIN
The locomotive is a Ge4/4 III (Bo-Bo), or 'Mark III' for short, hauling a rake of standard passenger coaches in the St.Moritz direction. Its next stop will be Filisur, close to the other end of the tunnel in the rock, seen upper R.
GEOLOGICAL NOTES
The cliff is formed of the Hauptdolomit (Principal Dolomite), of Late Triassic age (Norian). In this part of the Alps, the Hauptdolomit is part of the Silvretta Nappe, itself part of a larger allochthonous (displaced, detached) complex of Austroalpine rocks, thrust from an approximately southern direction from the Adriatic (aka Apulian aka African) foreland side of the Alpine trough. The Triassic limestones of this complex are stratigraphically related to both the Northern Calcareous Alps and the Southern Calcareous Alps. These were all once continuous with each other depositionally, but are now tectonically separated from each other by large distances. The viaduct crosses the Landwasser river, which has cut a deep, steep, often gorge-like ravine through the Triassic rocks of the area almost all the way back to Davos Monstein.

August 2014 marks the 40th anniversary of the construction of the CN Tower’s “working platform”.
For those who saw and experienced the construction of the tower, this working platform was one of the iconic fixtures of the tower from August 1974 through to August 1975 when it was finally dismantled and lowered to the ground. However, with it being covered over with safety nets and without any “public media relations” to explain what was going on with the tower’s construction, most Torontonians were perplexed or knowingly confused about what this “working platform” was used for. For myself, I always felt that it hid a portion of the tower which was actively under construction and would one day emerge from its cocoon to form a key aspect of the SkyPod. All of this, of course, was incorrect, and hence why this collage and explanation was created.
The “working platform” (as we will generally call it) had multiple purposes to the engineers of the CN Tower:
1) First and foremost, it would be used as a cradle to hold the 12 steel brackets which were to be hoisted from the ground level up to the 1120ft level of the tower.
2) Second, it contained the concrete wooden forms which encased the 12 steel brackets. The forms were mainly built on the ground and hoisted up to the 1120ft level along with the 12 steel brackets.
3) Third, once the temporary wooden floor of the working platform was completed in September 1974, it would be used as a base to pour the concrete floor of the outdoor observation level.
4) And fourth, after the concrete for the floor and brackets were poured, the working platform would be lowered 50ft to aid as a true “working platform” for construction people to access and work on the underside of the outdoor observation level (the “communication” levels 1 and 2, where the inflated, circular white radome can presently be seem).
As shown in a prior construction collage, the 12 brackets were raised from the ground level up to the 1120ft level between August 6 and 11 1974. The brackets were then connected to the tower, and leveled, using “dvidags” between August 17 and 30.
Thereafter, during August, the sections were connected together by the steelworkers via trusses (as seen in the upper left image of this collage). Long wood joists, then plywood, was laid down across the trusses to form the floor of the working platform.
Concrete was then poured into the wooden forms, and around the 12 huge steel beams, within and under the working platform (hidden behind the safety nets) to form the 12 triangle brackets seen today from below the SkyPod. Additional wooden forms were also installed to allow the creation of the walls of the poured-concrete “service tunnel” of level 1, ending on September 27. As a small historical note, the one & only person to die on the job was John Austin who was killed by a flying piece of plywood on the ground on October 2 during an unusually windy night.
The concrete floor of the outdoor observation level was poured in pie-shaped wedges throughout October 1974, using the working platform as the horizontal forms for the concrete pours. This can be seen in the lower-left image of the collage.
As an aspect of the tower’s construction that may have been overlooked by most or all Torontonians, the working platform was dislodged from its poured concrete (after a week of hitting the forms with sledge hammers!) and lowered 50ft where it remained until August 1975 (as shown in the lower right image of the collage). This important phase of the tower’s construction was not well documented in the media nor newspapers of the day so it was easily overlooked in the history books. The lowering occurred between Nov 2 and 8 1974. The platform was first lowered 20ft where it was used to pour the floor of level 1 then lowered another 30ft to clear the brackets (which were 45ft vertical).
The lower right image of the collage is an excellent photo of all of the work explained above. In the lower portion of the image, the “working platform” was all temporary and would be dismantled in 1975. The upper portion of the image remains as part of the SkyPod today. The floor is where the outdoor observation level is today. Under the floor are levels 1 and 2 where the communication dishes are presently shrouded in a white circular radome. The 12 concrete brackets were created by the wooden forms which remained within the working platform.
Once this critical and important phase of the tower was completed in November 1974, the “real work” could begin on erecting the steel framework of the SkyPod by CANRON.
