Colas Railfreight Class 56 56087 passes Woodacre on 6c57 0945 Penrith North Lakes - Crewe Basford Hall Yard on 25/03/2018
I've mentioned before how friendly train staff are in America. Look carefully and you can see the engineer / driver returning our wave when he saw photos being taken. As so often there were also a couple of 'hello' blasts on the horn : )
FURX 5520 leads BNSF 2020 as they haul a freight from LyondellBasell's Equistar chemical plant outside Matagorda, TX. It is probably heading for the docks at Corpus Christi.
For the rail aficionados - FURX 5520 is a rebuilt GP38-2 locomotive. The unit was originally built as Norfolk & Western 4140, a GP38AC, in September 1971. The "FU" stands for "First Union" though that company was taken over by Wells Fargo Rail late in 2015. That is a leasing company based in Illinois.
After working at Coteau and Maxville, CN 589 has come to a stop in the siding at Carlsbad Springs. Engineer J.C Opens the window to talk for a bit while waiting for his Brother, Engr B.C to fly by on VIA 26. They will then take their Slow to Clear signal and head home to Walkley Yard, well ahead of Schedule

La récolte des piments, enfin, après les avoir regardés pousser pendant des mois ! Je sais qu’il ne faut pas jouer avec la nourriture, mais après 6 mois quasiment sans aliments frais, on était tous très enthousiastes et ce n’est pas une photo spatiale si on ne fait pas flotter quelque chose. La dégustation a été très attentive par ailleurs, puisqu’on a pris des notes pour les chercheurs. Un grand bravo et mille mercis aux scientifiques et aux ingénieurs qui ont travaillé sur le projet : c’est très difficile de faire pousser des végétaux dans l’espace, et c’était le végétal le plus complexe jamais produit sur l’ISS… sans doute le plus pimenté aussi !!!
Pepper harvest! They say you shouldn't play with your food, but after six months with almost no fresh food, and living in weightlessness it is so hard not to be excited. We ate the peppers after watching them grow for months last Friday, and they were tasty… and a little bit hot 🌶🔥! A huge shout out and thank you to the researchers and engineers at NASA that made this possible, growing food in space is not easy, and was not even possible until a few years ago.

Hey look, buddy, I'm an Engineer. That means I solve problems.
And the problem I solved, is that there wasn't a Engi in my collection!
everything you see is custum painted by me.
I gave him a batman utility belt, and a piece of paper for the top part of his overal.
I also gave him a custum build level 1 sentry.
And I believe that that's all folks!
so grabe your self a cool beer, and let your sentry do the job!

It's a summer Friday, and McCloud Railway is running its weekly train east to the BNSF interchange at Lookout, California. The train runs with just engineer Malen Johnson; a helper will drive to Lookout and assist him with the switching moves there. The last 34 miles into Lookout are over BNSF-owned track that is operated and maintained by MR.
When this image was exposed at Bartle siding in August 2001, the future was looking bleak. In a couple of years, BNSF would enter into a haulage agreement with Union Pacific that enabled abandonment of the old Great Northern from Lookout west to Hambone. Traffic off MR for BNSF would go to UP at Mount Shasta, and UP would then turn it over to BNSF at Klamath Falls, Oregon. The last McCloud Railway train to Lookout ran in December 2003.
Ultimately, MR stopped hauling freight entirely in mid-2006. All its trackage east of McCloud is now abandoned and dismantled. For now, BNSF has left a couple miles of the line west of Lookout in place. This spur to nowhere is used periodically for car storage.

On a day of fast moving clouds 70817 manages to pick up some brightness passing Potbridge with engineers train 6C03 1151 Eastleigh East Yard to Motspur Park, here running on the up fast after some of what I'd call poor regulating!
As he was arriving at the station, Eric gives me a huge wave and smile. It's nice to catch him at the throttle doing what he does best. He's a great friend, mentor, and overall nice guy that loves what he does. Ottumwa, IA 2/2/2016.

Sally B is the name of an airworthy 1945-built Boeing B-17G Flying Fortress, one of the two airworthy B-17s left in Europe, the other being The Pink Lady, based in France. The aircraft's home is at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, where she is seen with engines idling, before a display during the 2013 Duxford Air Show.
Sally B flies at air shows in the UK and across Europe as well as serving as an airborne memorial to the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) airmen who lost their lives in the European theatre during World War II.
The aircraft was delivered to the USAAF on 19 June 1945 as 44-85784, too late to see active service in the war. After being converted to both a TB-17G training variant and then an EB-17G it was struck off charge in 1954 and bought by France's Institut Géographique as a survey aircraft. In 1975 it moved to England and was registered with the CAA as G-BEDF to be restored to wartime condition.
The Sally B was first fitted with accurate gun turrets and other much needed additions for her role as Ginger Rogers, a B-17 bomber of the fictitious bomber unit featured in the 1981 LWT series We'll Meet Again.
During the winter of 1983–84, Sally B was painted in an olive drab and neutral grey colour scheme, in place of the bare metal scheme she had worn since construction, in order to protect the airframe from the damp UK weather. At the same time, she received the markings of the 447th Bomb Group.
Sally B was used in the 1990 film Memphis Belle as one of five flying B-17s needed for various film scenes, and it was used to replicate the real Memphis Belle in one scene. Half of the aircraft is still in the Memphis Belle livery, following restoration of the Sally B nose art and the black and yellow checkerboard pattern on the cowling of the starboard inner (no 3) engine, carried as a tribute to Elly Sallingboe's companion Ted White, whose Harvard aircraft had the same pattern on its cowling. Sally B was reworked to B-17F configuration for filming.
Since 1985, Sally B has been operated by Elly Sallingboe's B-17 Preservation Ltd and maintained by Chief Engineer Peter Brown and a team of volunteers. The aircraft is flown by volunteer experienced professional pilots. The B17 Charitable Trust exists to raise funds to keep the plane flying.
Colas Railfreight "Grid" Class 56 56113 powers past Bennerley Viaduct near Ilkeston Station working 6C56 Tinsley South Jn to Toton North Yard in the lovely morning sun
Of interesting note, the footbridge in the background i understand is soon to be gone, , opening this scene up possibly more, but will be a sat sight to loose something of LMS heritage
Engineers side of BN F3A 702 model to represent post-1976 appearance. Unit lost its three side portholes on this side in an accident in the early 1970s, which was repaired, but it wasn't until late in the game that BN repainted it to green in 1976. Highliners shell, Stewart/Kato drive. tru color BN green.
Tubin' on Fourth of July weekend from Edgar Evins Marina on Center Hill Lake. In this photo, each tube has siblings on board. The one on the left is my kids, Jacob Ryan & Maddie. The tube on the right is McCartney and Sally Jane. In the background is Center Hill Dam which is the reason the lake exists since 1948.
I took this photo while also driving the boat by just spinning in my chair quickly to snap a couple of shots and then back to the front to see where we were going...as you all know, do whatever it takes to get the shot!!

Located on South College St in Trenton, Tennessee, the Peabody High School was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places under criteria A & C for its historical and architectural importance to this West Tennessee city. The Peabody High School was designed by Rueben A. Heavner, a regionally important architect who specialized in school buildings and residences beginning in the early twentieth century and reflects the Neo-Classical style of architecture that he was known for. Built in 1917, the structure served as the primary high school for the young people of Trenton for over sixty years.
As early as 1876, Professor Gentry R. McGee began laying the foundations for the establishment of public education in Gibson County. After securing $1,000.00 from the Peabody Education Fund, an endowment established by George Peabody to aid education in the South, a public school building was constructed in Trenton. But by early 1917, the original Peabody School building was inadequate to serve the growing number of students in Trenton and the surrounding area. Selected as the building's architect was Heavner, a prominent architect from Jackson, TN, who had designed high schools for the towns of Jackson and Lexington, TN previously. His designs mostly take their significant architectural features from Greek or Roman classicism. Examples of Heavner's work are found in the Jackson City Hall, New Southern Hotel (Jackson, TN), First National Bank (Jackson, TN), Old Jackson High School, and many buildings erected at Fort Pillow, Tennessee. (And several of these can be found in my photostream as well.) Peabody High School is an example of Heavner's design which reflect the Neo-Classical features which were popular during his early career. Noteworthy features on the building include the paired giant ionic columns which sit on a raised ashlar basement and support a full entablature, and the stone door surrounds on the wing entrances with entablature above simply inscribed "GIRLS" on the right and "BOYS" on the left. And, throughout the years, Peabody High School has remained one of Trenton's most significant structures. Few alterations have been made to the facade of the building and it retains its early 20th century architectural character. So, it was added to the NRHP on November 23, 1984. More information like above can be read on the original documents submitted for listing consideration that can be found here:
