About 200 Canadian Army Reserve Combat Engineers and support personnel from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario were in Chilliwack and Cultus Lake for four days of training during Exercise Paladin Response 2012 from Dec. 27-30, 2012. The exercises included building and disassembling two different types of land bridges — medium girder bridges and Acrow bridges which are used to span gaps — plus medium rafts (aka medium floating bridges). After the bridges and rafts are constructed, the soldiers drive and transport military trucks across the structures. The main focus for the exercises is to be able to use these bridges and rafts for natural disasters here in Canada, although they can and have been used overseas. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Back in 1816, James Foster, an ironmaster, and engineer John Urpeth Rastrick became partners and formed the company in 1819. The place was badly damaged by fire in 2004.
John Rastrick was an important man, not just in Stourbridge but internationally. He was one of the official observers, or judges in the Rainhill Trials, a competition to win the contract to supply the locomotives for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Without his observations, we may not have known the colour and appearance of the winner, The Rocket.
Inside the foundry, four locomotives were made. The two most famous being the Stourbridge Lion and Agenoria, the latter which worked at the Shutt End Colliery, near Birmingham, for over 35 years. It was built to move coal trucks from mine workings to canal and river navigations and surrounding Iron foundries. It is now in the National Railway museum in York.
The Stourbridge Lion was also built here. It became the first locomotive to run on rails in the United States, in fact, andywhere in the Western Hemisphere. It operated between Honesdale and Seely's Mills in Pennsylvania on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's railroad, August 8, 1829. Only the bioler and a few other parts remain on show at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum.
It is a shame that such an important place in not just Stourbridge's but railway history is in such a bad state.
A number of Soldiers with the 188th Engineer Company exchange letters with schoolchildren in North Dakota thanks to some pen pal connections made by the North Dakota National Guard Youth Program.
One Soldier is Spc. Kris Schaller, of Fargo. When Schaller was home on leave recently, he called his pen pal, Max, to let him know he’d be passing through Bismarck and had time to meet with him and his mom there.
“He is an extremely valuable Soldier, and now this just speaks to what kind of person he is,” said 1st Sgt. Eric Binstock, of Argusville, N.D. “I am totally impressed and in awe of this amazing citizen-Soldier we acquired when Schaller volunteered to deploy with us.”
Max seems pretty in awe, too.
“The picture says it all,” Binstock wrote when he passed along a photo of the writing buddies. “I think this made Max’s year!”
Here’s what his mom had to say in a letter to Jessi Clark-Woinorowicz, state youth program coordinator: “I just wanted to share an exciting story of our day with you. Today the pen pal you set Max up (with) gave us a call. He is home on his two-week leave and was coming through Bismarck and wanted to see if he could meet Max! We met with him at Perkins for soda and a cookie, and he told us about Kuwait and showed Max some pictures of his grandpa in WWII. I must say, North Dakota produces some very respectable Soldiers. Again, thanks for all you have done to help make this possible for my son! Kris is a wonderful person, and we are very blessed to have the chance to meet him!”

Engineer gets caught up on the newspaper while waiting for some obstruction across the tracks ahead to be cleared to return back with an empty boxcar from Big Bay Lumber on Goose Island.
Looks like reading a newspaper while waiting was standard for engineers. See this image-
