The engineer on the morning Woodbridge job moves into the warming sun with a cut of loads out of the General Mills plant in Lodi, Ca., watching the track ahead for the end of the tail track - that ends just about a quarter mile from here in Woodbridge. GP9R 3768 is mated with a trailing geep facing the opposite direction for operation on this out and back branch.
73213 & 73206 run through Cosham with a Eastleigh yard to Gatwick engineers on 22 April 2012. This was a lucky sun shot, a few minutes later the skies opened.

English Electric power, in the shape of 40034 is seen north of Workington on ballast duties near Siddick on 14 August 1983. Don't worry Health and Safety, the lads on the ballast wagons are perfectly safe, they have their Hi-viz tied around their waist.
The sun starts to rise on an empty Cootes Industrial ballast train stabled in the engineers siding at Parkeston with 8049,8037,NA1874 on 30-9-09
The engineer of Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Rotary OY concentrates on the task at hand as the machine removes snow from the narrow gauge right-of-way at Coxo, Colorado, on March 1, 2020. Because of limited visibility from the plow, Engineer Max Casias gets some of his information on how much throttle is needed on the plow by a pilot up front on the right side of the rotary, who happens to be his dad Marvin Casias.
My 4 years old brother gives me idea to make pliers. When I customing my figures, my brother saw the BrickArms bipod, and said "It's pliers". I explained him there isn't pliers, there is bipod. After that I want make german engineer, and I use my brothers design, so here it is.
27th August 2008 and more rare moves at Chorley with an engineers train that was being shunted in the station. This was in conjunction with engineering works for the removal of the flying arches towards Preston
Class 66 , 66592 .From Bescot Engineers sidings to Bletchley. Taken at Whitacre 10.12.22. Velvia 50 pushed to 100.
Double Shed pairing of 66099 and 66007 lead the Bescot to Toton engineers train on a bright autumnal day. A successful gardening session allowed for this wider shot, sadly the sun was off the front by their arrival.
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.

A Saturday in the Warrington area. Red Bank for 66754 and 66760 on 1Z24. Got done by cloud. 66155 followed it and of course that was in full sun! Then a move to Winwick for the rest of the day. 66620 came on an engineers train, 56087 came light from Carnforth - Carnforth which terminated at Crewe. There was a 5Z07 Crewe Gresty Bridge - Kingmoor. Expected 68001. Came with 66429! Anyway, here is 66620 working the 11:42 Euxton Jn - Crewe Basford Hall past Winwick 30/7/16
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!
Deep in the Devon countryside Colas Rail 66850 is pictured on the descent from Dainton Tunnel. The engineers train is heading for an overnight possession and relay job at Highertown Tunnel, Truro.
7C20 15:56 Westbury Down T.C. to Truro (via Penzance).
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.

SERIES:
New series continuing from last week's post. If you guessed a train station, you were absolutely correct. There's a lot more on the property than just the train. There is the old plantation house, the museum as well as the distillery. On this occasion, we are only dealing with the newest attraction, which is the train.
While I was listening to the engineers and tour guides talking, I couldn't resist taking a shot of the main driver here. They are making sure we have enough fuel for the trip to the top of the hill and back. We are standing on the platform as you may have guessed but we're getting ready to leave soon.
To know a bit more about the history of St. Nicholas Abbey and the attractions on the property, you can go here: https://www.stnicholasabbey.com/
To all of you, hope you enjoy the weekend and have an awesome week ahead, wherever you are! Let me know what you think!

An enthusiastic engineer has his Twin Ports-bound manifest at track speed as it kicks up a ground blizzard while passing the 1 x 1 vehicle train.

DETAILS FOR THIS VEHICLE.
Location : Carlisle Kingmoor Yard.
Date : 03/06/2016.
Type : Engineers Ballast Wagon.
Weight : 41t GLW. (26.5t Capacity / 14.5t Tare)
Number : DC 210150.
Number Series : Various conversion from the 210xxx range.
Builder : 1977-78 by BR Shildon Works, Rebuilt 1991.
TOPS Code : ZCA.
CCE Code : SEA URCHIN.
Lot No. : 3908.
ADDITIONAL NOTES.
In an effort to eliminate vacuum braked and unfitted engineers stock in the early 1990's BR set about converting surplus 41ton GLW opens and vans into a new fleet of engineers Ballast/Spoil wagons. There were two distinct fleets called 'Seahare' and 'Sea Urchin' the later batch were by far the largest encompassing former OBA open wagons and numerous Van types. The conversions were undertaken at various BR wagon shops resulting in several body types. The vehicle seen here was originally a VDA 41t Box Van. EWS inherited this fleet on privatisation but the low capacity and aging underframes has resulted in the 'Seahare' fleet becoming extinct and what few 'Sea Urchins' still exist are mostly stored waiting disposal.

The "Three Amigos" in engineer class. L to R: Mike Burbidge, Jeff Sessa (me), Jay Daravong. I believe Mike went to MBTA, I went to Amtrak in 2023, and Jay went to the Pan Am before leaving the industry entirely. We certainly had fun down in Atlanta.

If anyone is able to identify the loco I would appreciate their better knowledge.

Engineer (Young) Will Lovelace calls for permission through a work authority on the Philly Sub from the cab of Q032. Will's dad was an Erie, and later NJT conductor. Will was the first CSX-era hire on the former RF&P out of Richmond.
When I was occasionally cut back to conductor, I would go to the UPS train pool to work with the top-dog engineers; John Stone, Jim Stevens, and Will Lovelace. All great to work with.
Mr. Lovelace retired in late 2021.
