“The way I see it, hard times aren't only about money,
or drought,
or dust.
Hard times are about losing spirit,
and hope,
and what happens when dreams dry up.”
The paint peeling from the walls and the high level of decay makes me so happy.... Is it strange to love this kind of stuff ? hehe...
My first ride in the cab of a steam locomotive. The engineer was kinda young. Niles Canyon Railway near Sunol, California.

After not sleeping all night waiting on P001, my dumbass decided to go after A711 with a YN2 GP40-2 & GP39-2 for power. To the absolute amazement of myself, Travis & Larry, the conductor for today's edition was slower than a snail frozen in a block of ice 200ft below the surface of Antarctica. It no joke took him over 3 hours to build a 11 car train when all of the cars were located in a siding & just needed to be arranged in the right order. You could tell both the engineer & the dispatcher were getting rather crossed at him as he was holding up the subdivision the whole morning with several road trains waiting in Chattanooga for them to clear up. How someone was able to work so slow still baffles me.
Anyways, here we see them finally moving south going in the hole at Tilton to let one of those trains in Chattanooga get around them. Why did I stay up for this is beyond me since I was now going close to 27 hours without sleep by this point? Oh yeah, I'm a dumbass. 1-24-22
Engineer Andy S guides NS 23G across the Opossum Creek Trestle in Lynchburg, Va with 38 loads, 5 empties weighing 9258 tons and stretching 9280 feet long. NS 8098, 7242 on the head end with NS 8136 as the DPU
Rio Grande SD40T-2 No. 5411 leads an 84-car Salt Lake City to Helper coal train through Utah's Spanish Fork Canyon approaching Narrows on Oct. 8, 1994. The engineer is holding a system timetable, which he tossed out the window for me to enjoy as a gift. In my humble opinion, Rio Grande guys were and continue to be the BEST.
Paddington Station, London
In 1833 Brunel was appointed chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, 118 miles railway to connect London with Bristol. He surveyed all the line and designed Paddington station in London and the Bristol Temple Meads station. The first train arrived in Bristol in 1840.

Brittle stars, an alternate common name is the 'serpent stars', are a species-rich class of echinoderms with outstanding regenerative abilities. Living under rocks or in crevices with only the tips of the arms exposed, they are known to be seafloor ecosystem engineers. They reshape the seafloor sediment surface and influence the distribution of other seafloor species. They also provide nutrition to fish, sea stars and crab predators.
Their presence in a sediment sample is one indicator of a healthy benthic community. They embody nature's fragility and resilience.

The title refers to the only engineer's name that I automatically recall from a classic Dr Who episode. Unfortunately Engineer Eckersley was a bad 'un, in league other bad 'uns to steal the valuable mining deposits.
“Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up and turn toward the light and that makes them beautiful.”

The Claymills Victorian pumping station is keen to encourage the next generation of engineers. This young man took us down to the the space above the boilers and explained the restoration project he was working on with his team .
Running tender-first toward the interchange at Leaman Place. Will we find some freight cars there for us?
We are rolling through the bucolic country of Amish farms along the Strasburg Railroad.

This is an old one from the vault. He was a regular personality who rode his tricycle fitted with a mock-up steam engine around the ByWard Market. Haven't seen him around for over 5yrs.
Note: Rocky Mountain is at the old location of ByWard Market.

Named after the engineer that designed it, Clifford M. Holland, the Holland tunnel when it opened in 1927 was the first Hudson River vehicular crossing and was at the time of its opening the longest underwater tunnel for vehicular traffic in the world. The Holland Tunnels length is 8,558 feet from portal to portal on the North tube, and 8,371 feet on the South tube at a height of 12 feet, 6 inches tall. Initially the state commission considered a bridge or a tunnel at the turn of the century, but the cost of acquiring the land to build a bridge with a minimum height of 200 feet to allow for marine traffic made it cost prohibitive. Biggest challenge outside of digging a tunnel under the Hudson River was ventilation. Four ventilation buildings 2 on each side of river, exchange the tunnel air every 90 seconds, though being in the tunnel in traffic over the years, the smell of diesel fuel is something I always remember in my dad’s un-airconditioned vehicle. This image is entry from Canal Street in Manhattan at the start of 8,371 foot journey to Jersey City New Jersey. - [ ] #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras @apple #excellent_america #iphone13pro @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany @nycprimeshot @nycurbanism @nybucketlist @kehcamera #usaprimeshot #tamractales
2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
Utah Railway engineer Stu Turner commands the controls of the RUT311 local as it rumbles into North Salt Lake, Utah, on May 15, 2012. Stu was one of the kindest railroaders I've ever met, offering a friendly wave or a trackside chat. He was tragically taken from us in July 2020 due to brain cancer.
Just a few figs, I wanted to use the new 2016 Ghostbusters bodies/legs for something.
P.S. I'm trying out a new photo setup, wadda ya think?
(Though I'll probably only use it in winter, because taking pictures outside looks better. :P)

I went for a bike ride this morning and passed the site of the old Totley Tunnel Box around the same time as an engineers train having run from the Huddersfield area. First time I've seen the new livery in action.

On August 31st, 2023, well known railroader Mike Del Vecchio passed away after a battle with cancer. Although I didn't know Mike too well personally, I never heard a bad word spoken about him. Seen here is him posing as the engineer on #4109 during the United Railroad Historical Society's photo shoot in Boonton.

Winter presents all kinds of interesting challenges as a photographer. The cold, snow, and ice all provide risks and rewards. I decided to brave those elements recently and hiked through a foot of powder to the top of a ridge near Durango, Colorado. My reward was quite special. The last light of the day kissed the top of 12,968 ft. Engineer Mountain while the soft pink light at the end of the day illuminated the snow below in Animas Valley.
This beautiful swinging bench was built by he graduating class of 2010 at Hanover College which was founded in 1827. This beautiful college has only had one major tornado in it's history. The grounds, buildings and landscaping were magnificent. It is written that Texan Woody Harrelson graduated from this college as did Indiana's Mike Pence. Both chose different paths from the same school.
