Crompton 33030 passes Potbridge on the main (unusual at the time) on 24/June/1989 with a up Saturday engineers whilst the local stopping service overtakes on the booked slow.
This is the Smith Interpretive Center / Greenhouse. It originally was administrative offices and laboratory/greenhouse.
Now it serves its special function as an interpretive center and a greenhouse.
"Crude masonry and rustication characterize the initial architecture at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum. The Smith Building, the arboretum’s original visitor center and administration building, designed by Thompson and built by local contractor and mason Jack Davey in 1925–1926, is sited on the canyon floor. The rustic edifice, composed of locally quarried rhyolite, originally featured lichen-covered interior walls and flagstone floors. The 6,500-square-foot space contained offices, laboratories, a library, a herbarium, a seed room, a photography studio, supply rooms, and a fireproof vault; a soft-water cistern filled the basement. Flanking the structure are two attached greenhouses that display indigenous and exotic cacti and succulents. Measuring 50 feet long and 20 feet wide, the prefabricated iron-frame and glazed structures were supplied by the Lord and Burnham Company of New York."

I haven't been here since I was a child. I consider it more of a walk rather than a hike. But it is incredibly interesting. Especially for photography. My Grandfather - Joseph Harris - was the Superintendent of Col. Thompson's Miami Inspiration Mines.

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest and largest botanical garden in the state of Arizona. It is one of the oldest botanical institutions west of the Mississippi River. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and “living museum”, the arboretum is located in the Sonoran Desert on 392 acres (159 ha) along Queen Creek and beneath the towering volcanic remnant, Picketpost Mountain. Boyce Thompson Arboretum is on U.S. Highway 60, an hour's drive east from Phoenix and 3 miles (4.8 km) west of Superior, Arizona.
The arboretum was founded by William Boyce Thompson (1869-1930), a mining engineer who made his fortune in the copper mining industry. He was the founder and first president of Inspiration Consolidated Copper Company at Globe-Miami, Arizona and Magma Copper Company in Superior, Arizona. In the early 1920s, Thompson, enamored with the landscape around Superior, built a winter home overlooking Queen Creek. Also in the 1920s, as his fortunes grew, he created and financed the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research in Yonkers, New York (now at Cornell University), and the Boyce Thompson Arboretum on the property of the Picket Post House, west of Superior.
Boyce Thompson wrote: “I have in mind far more than mere botanical propagation. I hope to benefit the State and the Southwest by the addition of new products. A plant collection will be assembled which will be of interest not only to the nature lover and the plant student, but which will stress the practical side, as well to see if we cannot make these mesas, hillsides, and canyons far more productive and of more benefit to mankind. We will bring together and study the plants of the desert countries, find out their uses, and make them available to the people. It is a big job, but we will build here the most beautiful, and at the same time the most useful garden of its kind in the world.”[3]

This is the Engineer, a scupture/statue at Black Rock on the Severn Estuary, at the top of the slipway from which ferries plied their way across the river, although from 1852 there was a pier onto which trains would run to allow ferries to sail at all states of tide.until the opening of the Severn Tunnel in 1886 rendered them redundant.
The title refers to civil engineer Thomas Walker, who was in charge of completing the Severn Tunnel, but the creator, Rubin Eynon dedicated it to all those who were involved in the building of the tunnel, and of the 1966 and 1996 completed road crossings, as well as the sea-walls that protect the Levels.
Constructed from weathering steel, sometimes referred to by a trade name of Cor-ten or corten steel, the pre-rusted figure looks out across the waters, resilient to the many vagaries of weather.
The Road Closed sign behind indicates that the Wales Coast Path is not passable due to a collapse of the cliff, a short diversion being required.

The Riverside Drive Viaduct, built in 1900 by the US City of New York, was constructed to connect an important system of drives in Upper Manhattan by creating a high-level boulevard extension of Riverside Drive over the barrier of Manhattanville Valley to the former Boulevard Lafayette in Washington Heights.
F. Stuart Williamson was the chief engineer for the municipal project, which constituted a feat of engineering technology. Despite the viaduct's important utilitarian role as a highway, the structure was also a strong symbol of civic pride, inspired by America’s late 19th-century City Beautiful movement. The viaduct’s original roadway, wide pedestrian walks and overall design were sumptuously ornamented, creating a prime example of public works that married form and function. An issue of the Scientific American magazine in 1900 remarked that the Riverside Drive Viaduct's completion afforded New Yorkers “a continuous drive of ten miles along the picturesque banks of the Hudson and Harlem Rivers.”[1]
The elevated steel highway of the viaduct extends above Twelfth Avenue from 127th Street (now Tiemann Place) to 135th Street and is shouldered by masonry approaches. The viaduct proper was made of open hearth medium steel, comprising twenty-six spans, or bays, whose hypnotic repetition is much appreciated from underneath at street level. The south and north approaches are of rock-faced Mohawk Valley, N.Y., limestone with Maine granite trimmings, the face work being of coursed ashlar. The girders over Manhattan Explore - #40
Street (now 125th Street) were the largest ever built at the time. The broad plaza effect of the south approach was designed to impart deliberate grandeur to the natural terminus of much of Riverside Drive’s traffic as well as to give full advantage to the vista overlooking the Hudson River and New Jersey Palisades to the west.
The viaduct underwent a two-year long reconstruction in 1961 and another in 1987. (source: Wikipedia)

The Grade II Listed early Trinity House-commissioned, symmetrical lighthouse complex, on Caldey Island, a small island off the coast from Tenby in Pembrokeshire, South Wales.
A painted plaque on the lighthouse records 'Erected A.D. 1828 by the Corporation of Trinity House and light exhibited for the benefit of navigation, January 26th 1829.' The lighthouse was engineered and built by Joseph Nelson, a notable lighthouse engineer from Leeds, who was responsible for the construction of a number of lighthouses in the British Isles. The lantern appears to be a replacement, possibly of 1875 (the date on the associated oil store), together with the optic. The lighthouse serves as a marker for coastal traffic and displays an intermittent flashing light with 2 red sectors.

Walking the terraced face of Toyon Canyon Landfill in Griffith Park yesterday. The entire canyon was a dump site for Los Angeles garbage from 1957 to 1985. 30,700,000 cubic yards of trash is buried here; an estimated 16,000,000 tons. The terraced face is engineered like a 500 foot high dam. There are 200 gas wells collecting methane which is used to operate a power generation facility. Other pipes and ducts manage wastewater which must be filtered and treated before channeled into the concrete canyon of the nearby Los Angeles river. The grass is green this time of year.

So I've had this one done for awhile. It's like a mashup of the BF3 and BF4 engineer class. I'll have a separate picture of his gun as well. Inspirations will be added. Comments and Criticism are welcome. Kthxbai
The view from the top of Engineer Pass is just amazing. Engineer Pass is a high mountain pass at an elevation of 12,800 feet (3.901 m), located in the San Juan Mountains near Ouray, Colorado. It’s one of Colorado's most scenic offroad drives and is one of the highest mountain passes of Colorado. Russian born engineer Otto Mears iso credited for building the road known as Engineer Pass. Completed after 1877 this toll road was a major route connecting Silverton, Animas Forks, Ouray and Lake City together.
Engineer John Teshara is all smiles as backs Southern Pacific steam locomotive #2472 down the track at Niles Canyon for a photo runby. John was a fireman on this very locomotive in the 1950's when it pulled commuter trains from San Jose to San Francisco. Niles Canyon is located near the city of Sunol, California.

2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
Running 1 hour early, 66731 Capt. Tom Moore passes Lea Marston with 6G45 Toton North Yard to Bescot Up Engineers Sidings.
Although its 6.30 in the morning, before Corvid on a weekday the station at Manningtree would by busy with commuters and the car park filling up. However just myself and another enthusiast are on the platform when 37425 brings the return Hockley to Whitemoor engineers through with the JJR Autoballesters. The sun is head on at this time in the morning but the sight and sound of 37425 opening up aftter being stopped in the platform was worth the early morning bike ride.

Judging by floor damage, it appears this shack has seen a substantial amount of roof leakage, the floor boards creaked, bowed and even made snapping noised! Vines where littered across every inch of this location, and also many leaves.

Matt Hauser invited me up to the cab of the more than 100 year old Heisler logging locomotive that powered the Durbin Rocket, a scenic railroad in West Virginia. He happily posed for this picture in the engineer' seat.
Engineer Steve Harner gives the group of us gathered next to the infamous KCS Crew Lake trestle a thumbs up as the 2024 CPKC holiday express blasts across at track speed. A noon time departure from Vicksburg, Ms, for the evenings showing in Monroe, La, meant there would be beautiful light along the small bayou known as Crew Lake. Crew lake is one of the few locations where the wooden trestles that once dominated the still hold on along the main. This shot was one of the must have locations both directions on the 2024 run. If this was the last year for the current configuration of this train I'm glad it was done well...
Thanks for looking!
