Colas Plasser and Theurer with trailer DR 73919 arrived from Ely and after crossing over from the up main at Colchester 750 signal proceeds along the down main at Manningtree for the Down sidings. The driver is wearing his mask.
Engineer Pass is a beautiful drive. The first 7 miles on the Ouray side is really rough. This is where he gets easy. This is highway driving in the mountains. This is unusual for the road to be this wide, but it's a nice relaxing drive.
An easier way to get to the to the top of Engineer Pass is to go to Animas forks and take the North Cutoff road that bypasses the rougher sections of Engineer.

This is yet another quirky feature of our delightfully quirky village. The club's existed for over 70 years and kids of all ages up to 90+ love it. Several members are known even to have reproduced.
They have these open days once a month from Spring to Autumn, when families can go to picnic in a small meadow and have kids' parties plus train rides all afternoon for a fiver. I reckon there were 500-600 people there yesterday. That's how they finance the club which occupies land that would be worth a couple of million quid for development, easy.
Engineers at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, on Dec. 5 deliberately pushed the world’s largest rocket fuel tank beyond its design limits to really understand its breaking point. The test version of the Space Launch System rocket’s liquid hydrogen tank withstood more than 260% of expected flight loads over five hours before engineers detected a buckling point, which then ruptured. Engineers concluded the test at approximately 11 p.m.
The test version of the tank aced earlier tests, withstanding forces expected at engine thrust levels planned for Artemis lunar missions, showing no signs of cracks, buckling or breaking. The test on Dec. 5 -- conducted using a combination of gaseous nitrogen for pressurization and hydraulics for loads -- pushed the tank to the limits by exposing it to higher forces that caused it to break as engineers predicted.

NASA engineers load a structural test version of the Orion Stage Adapter for NASA's Space Launch System onto NASA’s Super Guppy Aircraft at the Redstone Arsenal Airfield in Huntsville, Alabama, for delivery to Lockheed Martin in Denver. The OSA connects NASA's Orion spacecraft to the Interim Cryogenic Propulsion System, which will give the spacecraft its big, in-space boost to fly around the moon in its first integrated flight with SLS. Built at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, the OSA was used in integrated structural testing for the top of the SLS rocket and will be used in similar testing with Orion at Lockheed. The Guppy has a cargo compartment that is 25 feet tall, 25 feet wide and 111 feet long and can carry up to 24 tons. The aircraft has a unique hinged nose that can open 110 degrees, allowing large pieces of cargo to be loaded and unloaded from the front.

Engineered and manufactured in America by Baldwin Locomotive Works. This is the first drive wheel in a set of four from a Baldwin steam locomotive know as the Northern class locomotive. This system of main rods, control arms, side rods, coupling rods, and linkages synchronizes valves and pistons which controls the direction and power output of the locomotive.
This wheel is know as a BoxPox wheel. A Boxpox is a steam locomotive wheel that gains its strength through being made of a number of box sections rather than having traditional solid spokes (the name is a variation on "box-spoke"). Being hollow, they allow better counterbalancing than conventional drivers, which is important for fast locomotives.
This is still in the first 8 miles of Engineer Pass on the Ouray side.
Many of my photos of Engineer don't look like it is very hard. My photos tend to flatten out the rough spots, and of those are on 90 degree turns which make it hard to detect the best line to drive on.
If you zoom on the road you can see it is rough.
With the last working of the day, 'ROYAL ENGINEER' approaches Ashey Ground crossing on it`s way to Havenstreet. 25th October 2010.

This is Ken the engineer for the steam train Oregon at the Oregon Zoo in Portland, Oregon... Oregon. :)
I decided to give this a vintage industrial look by processing it in a black and white HDR.
This photo was made the other night at the Zoo Lights. I got to ride in the engine of the train. :) I was like a little kid again. :)

It was a rainy day and they still fished. Shortly after this pic I was caught in a torrential downpour.
Andrew, the train driver at the Kerrisdale Mountain Railway & Museum. He's quite a character and has an amazing collection of old engines.
25299 heads west along the Up Goods approaching Mansfield Junction, Nottingham with a local engineers trip working formed of a brake van, a "bowrail" (diagram 1/481, 1/482 or 1/483) bogie bolster loaded with S&C and another brake van bringing up the rear, 9th May 1978.
Locomotive History
25299 was originally D7649 and was one of thirty-six class 25 locomotives (D7624 - D7659) built at the Manchester works of Beyer Peacock Ltd in 1966. Twenty-five locomotives (D7624 - D7649) of this batch entered traffic allocated to the Eastern Region (Sheffield) for local and inter-regional freight duties to the adjacent London Midland Region. 25299 was never fitted with train air brakes therefore despite being a late build class 25 its vacuum brake only status meant early withdrawal in October 1981, after only fifteen years service. After a short time dumped at Crewe 25299 was moved to Derby Works on the 14th February 1982 and was broken up three months later in May 1982.

Dean Forest Railway, Parkend Station, at Parkend, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Wednesday 22nd September 2021.
About this photograph.
The train led by the engine called Swiftsure had arrived at Parkend Station, and the staff operating the train were making preparations for the return journey to Norchard.
Here, one of the engineers is seen refilling the loco’s tank with water. The photograph was converted in Adobe Lightroom into black and white for a classic feel to the engineer doing the work.
Swiftsure is a Hunslet Austerity 0-6-0ST class of steam locomotive designed by Hunslet Engine Company. This engine was built in 1943, and bears the number 75008 painted on the side.
It was a visiting steam loco, having visited before in 2017 and 2018, she was back at Dean Forest Railway from June 2021 onwards. At the current time of writing, she is reported to be still operational.
My best friend and I were at Dean Forest for a weekdays holiday, and she wanted to have more day outs rather than being stuck at the cabin, so I came up with two different day out ideas. The visit to the Dean Forest Railway was one of the ideas, and my best friend enjoyed the rides.
I took the opportunity to try to find some interesting shots, rather than taking memorable photos of the holiday.
About the overall subject.
The Dean Forest Railway is a 4 to 5 miles long heritage railway, still running vintage steam, and classic diesel trains, as a tourist attraction in the Forest of Dean.
It started in 1799 as an idea for a horse-drawn tramway, linking the Forest of Dean to the rivers Severn and Wye, for the transportation of coal and iron materials.
Between 1800 to around the 1870s, it went through so many processes. Like building lines and branching out, changing company names, financial problems, rival companies, converting from horse-drawn tramway into steam powered railway, merging companies, change of railway gauge sizes, and so many other factors.
It became known as the Severn and Wye Railway during those years.
From around the 1870s onwards, in order to cope with financial difficulties, and to help with funding, they started fee-paying passenger services in addition to the goods carrying services. But ongoing financial problems, lack of traffic, and many other factors, continued up until around the 1940s.
After the Second World War (1939-1945), the railways in this area started to go downhill, mainly due ot declining coal industry in the area, lack of passengers, improvements in transportation elsewhere, and the nationalised of British railways.
Many stations and lines started closing down, or completely shut down, during the 1950s and 1960s.
Starting from the early 1970s onwards, a railway preservation society was formed to try to buy and save as much of the old railway, and run it as a heritage railway for tourism, and was then named as Dean Forest Railway.
At the current moment, the Dean Forest Railway is approximately between 4 to 5 miles long between Lydney and Parkend, with Norchard station as its home base, but they are hoping to extend the line to 7 miles in near future.
They run a range of mostly steam trains to 1960s diesel trains, with various carriages, and at least 5 stations.
For more details, simply Google “Dean Forest Railway” for history or for visiting.

My father was the Saturday engineer/fireman for the Wasatch Mountain Railway during the mid-1970s. Here he takes a break from his fireman duties to chat with friends in Heber City, Utah on Oct. 9, 1976.
Barbara was not an aeronautical engineer. But that didn't keep her from admiring the sleek, rigid power contained within Jack's formidable projectile. Once she got an eyeful of his superior design, she knew it would be blast off for her in no time.
Just after midday and I catch one of two northbound Engineers trains. The first one I catch at Greenholme with 66523 heading up Shap with 5Y53, Oubeck Loop - Carlisle on Sunday 14th May 2017
What a great day and time yesterday. The Stewart J Cort came into the Poe lock while we could walk over into the lock area.
A 50 / 50 chance of seeing this which paid off today as both 66779 and 66762 were at Toton this morning.

Notes:
1. This shot was supposed to have a big scary monster in the background sneaking up on Isaac. Just as I was tweaking the lighting (an in-game strobe) by advancing time by a fraction, the monster teleported to behind the camera's position. The only explanation I could come up with is that the camera script also rips Isaac's soul from his body and is moving that around with the camera. Monsters love souls.
