The doodlebug engineman survived and was able to recall receiving orders at Hudson to take the siding at Silver Lake, but he was unable to recall passing the siding. The investigation considered the possibility that the engineer could have been "under the influence of carbon monoxide poisoning with a resultant temporary impairment of mental faculties, but not be wholly unconscious", which would explain his behavior. The driver had complained of fumes in the cabs on previous occasions. No charges were held against him.
He confirmed much that had earlier been reported; the pit was well ventilated and Davy lamps were in use. The seat of the explosion was found by Mr Foster to be an underground engine used to haul coals to the pit base. The engineman had added fresh coal to the fire and closed the damper before going off shift at 16:00. The damper should have remained slightly open to allow burnt gas from the fire to escape up the chimney.
It was supposed that the damper had been closed fully and partial combustion had occurred effectively generating town gas ("acting as a retort"). The gas eventually escaped and the resultant explosion caused major damage to the boiler and flue. Four viewers from other pits all corroborated Foster's conclusions. The engineman, George Hope, said that he put on around 3½ pecks of small coals and "left the damper open about an inch and three- quarters I always leave my fire this way".
Johnson reported to the dispatcher who telegraphed back, "He meets No. 1 there, can you stop him?" Johnson sounded the emergency whistle, but there was no one at the rear of No. 4 to hear it.

The American sailors participated in Fleet sporting events, as well, giving excellent account of themselves. At the Fleet track meet, Battleship Division Nine finished second, and did even better at the annual boxing championships, the pinnacle of the Grand Fleet sporting year.

Rendernick and Odom fixed the engine using a hydraulic jack against the pressure hull, permitting the ship to leave the area of attack. Additionally, they slowed some of the leaks that had sprung in the ship. Both crew members would later go on to be awarded the Navy Silver Star for their heroic actions during the attack.
William Francis Stephen (23 July 1921 - 5 April 2013) was an Australian politician. He was born in Fremantle in Western Australia to blacksmith William Stephen and Vera May Pyke. He attended local state schools and became a timber worker and locomotive engineman before serving in the Royal Australian Air Force from 1942 to 1946. He was a traffic officer from 1946 to 1947 and a dairy farmer in 1948 before moving to Pakenham, where he was the foreman at a food factory from 1950 to 1952.
The Interstate Commerce Commission report of the accident assigned responsibility for the accident to the conductor and flagman of the local train, for failing to protect their train with fusees and torpedoes: "the action of these two experienced employees in failing to protect their train is inexcusable" (both were killed by the disaster). A contributing factor was the failure of the express engineman to properly observe the train order signal at Shepherdsville. However the system (in which all signals were held in the stop position until an approaching train, within 600 yards of the signal sounded four short blasts to request the signal be cleared) was unworkable since, if the engineman fails to see the clearing of the signal, then he is required to stop at the signal; but high-speed trains such as the Flyer required considerably more distance than 600 yards to come to a halt. The report also stated that the line, with 44 trains scheduled in each direction daily, could not be operated safely by the time-interval and dispatching system and recommended the railroad should "take immediate steps to implement an adequate block system for the protection of trains on this line".
During the first pass all of the crew on the bridge were wounded and the commanding officer, Lieutenant Junior Grade David Brostrom, was killed along with the helmsman, Engineman Second Class Jerry Phillips.

He was also president of the Western Australian Trades Union Industrial Council, and served as president of the Western Australian Labor Party from 1946 to 1955.
Scotti, p 166 Already part of the design, crews stationed in Vietnam found the air- conditioned interior especially helpful. Interior access to the deckhouse was through a watertight door on the starboard side aft of the deckhouse. The deckhouse contained the cabin for the officer-in-charge and the executive petty officer but for Vietnam service the spaces quartered the commanding officer, the executive officer and chief boatswain's mate as well as the chief engineman. The deckhouse also included a small arms locker, scuttlebutt, a small desk and head.
PCF-32 on patrol The Swift Boats had welded aluminum hulls about long with beam, and draft of about five feet (1.5 m). They were powered by a pair of General Motors 12V71"N" Detroit marine diesel engines rated at each, with a design range from at to about at . The normal complement for a Swift Boat was six: an officer in charge (skipper), a boatswains mate, a radar/radioman (radarman), an engineer (engineman), and two gunners (quartermaster and gunner's mate). In 1969 the crew was supplemented with a Vietnamese trainee.
This increased the effectiveness of night patrols.Larzelere p 54Cutler, p 85 On 22 March 1969, Chief Engineman Morris S. Beeson, Engineering Officer of the Point Orient crew was killed in action while the cutter's small boat was attempting to interdict three sampans entering a restricted zone in Quảng Trị Province.Scotti, p 163Vietnam Veterans Memorial Virtual Wall – Beeson Beeson was one of seven Coast Guardsmen killed in action during the Vietnam War. On 14 July 1970, Point Orient was given to the Republic of Vietnam Navy and recommissioned as RVNS Nguyễn Kim Hưng (HQ-722).
Prior to the name change, both stations had taken erroneous delivery of the other's goods. In 1926, the use of the station's signal box was discontinued when the points began to be operated from a ground frame by the engineman. In 1930, the platform was extended to allow horses to be transported to and from the Beaufort Polo Club in nearby Westonbirt. In 1963, an entire Tetbury farm - complete with machinery, foodstuffs, staff and pedigree herd of Hereford cattle - was transported from the station to Stranraer in 31 vehicles.
Webber and his crew of three – Engineman Third Class Andrew Fitzgerald, Seaman Richard Livesey, and Seaman Ervin Maske – saved 32 of the 33 crewmen who were on the stern section of SS Pendleton when the ship broke in two. The remaining members of the ship's full crew were in the bow section and died when it broke off and sank. All four Coast Guardsmen were awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal for their heroic actions. The rescue operation has been noted as one of the most successful in the history of the U.S. Coast Guard.
Thomas Watson (1860 or 1861 - 1921) was a British trade unionist. Born in Radcliffe, Watson worked for many years as an engineman near Wigan. He became active in his local trade union, and in 1900 he led it into a merger with ten other local unions of enginemen, forming the Lancashire, Cheshire and North Wales Colliery Enginemen's, Boilermen's and Brakesmen's Federation. Watson served as president of the National Federation of Colliery Enginemen and Boilermen for many years, and also as president of the National Federation of Enginemen, Stokers, and Kindred Trades.
In 1923 the Powell Duffryn Steam Coal Company sunk the Ynysmaerdy Colliery at Llantrisant, also known as the New Duffryn and Llantrisant Colliery, it had three shafts, employing 216 men. The Cwm was acquired by Powell Duffryn in 1928. In 1931 an underground railway linked the Cwm to the Maritime Colliery, Pontypridd and by 1934 the Cwm employed 100 men on the surface and 780 men underground. A methane gas explosion on bank holiday Monday, 2 June 1941, killed four men — Ernest Evans (Banksman), Noah Fletcher (Winding Engineman), John Gregor (Manager), and David Thomas (Switchboard Attendant) — and destroyed most of the surface buildings.
Gardner removed and sold everything of value from the ship and used it as a storage building, cutting a hole in the hull on the port side near the waterline to use as a door. On 7 September 2004, Gardner was fatally shot by his neighbor. In 2005, Gardner's widow donated the ship to United States Navy veteran Mike Warren, who served on Lucid as an engineman in the 1960s. Since late 1999, Warren and his "Save an MSO Foundation" had unsuccessfully tried to save an as a museum ship as they were being decommissioned and replaced by the new .
On 18 August 1999 an eastbound freight train was waiting at the departure end of the crossing loop for the westbound Indian Pacific passenger train to pass through. The second engineman was waiting at the control panel for the points for the opposing train to pass through. Out of habit he had the control panel box unlocked and opened. Unfortunately, out of habit, he pressed the button to operate the points at an inappropriate time, and the opposing train was diverted at a speed of about into the loop where it could not stop in time to avoid a head-on collision.
The upper lever controls a damper, while the handle below operates an unusual worm-and-quadrant-gear arrangement for raising and lowering the chimney for transport. The most common arrangement follows the original Tuxford design. Although this closely resembles the common layout of a traction engine, the engine of a portable is usually reversed, with the cylinders at the firebox end and the crankshaft at the smokebox end. This layout was designed to position the regulator close to the firebox, making it easier for the engineman to maintain the fire and control the engine speed from the one location.
On October 2, 1959, approximately 15 miles southwest of Key West, Commander Bond and Chief Engineman Cyril Tuckfield safely completed a 52-second, 302-foot buoyant ascent from the forward escape trunk of the U.S. Navy submarine USS Archerfish. Both men received the Legion of Merit in 1960 for establishing the feasibility of deep submarine escape by locking out. Anne Rudloe third from left in United States Naval base in Panama City in underwater research and diving techniques 1960s. In the back row, fourth from the right, is Dr. (Captain) George F. Bond, senior medical officer and principal investigator for the Sealab I and Sealab II experiments in the mid-1960s.
Coast Guardsman - Engineman Third Class (EN3) Keith Michael Brubaker, 22, of Warren, Michigan, born March 24, 1945 lost his life on July 11, 1967 while in service to his country when he fell overboard a Coast Guard boat in Grand Marais, Minnesota and drowned. He is only the second Coast Guard member in Minnesota or on Lake Superior to be killed in service to his country, the other being Edgar Culbertson in Duluth, Minnesota. Brubaker and his newlywed had just moved to Grand Marais, Minnesota after being transferred to Station North Superior earlier that year. The Brubakers were expecting their first child in just a few months.
At 2:20 pm, the shackle of rope caught the end of a batten. Martin climbed a fence and called to the engineman to stop the rope, and tried to raise it, to free it, when the fence gave way. Martin caught hold of the balk and swung for a couple of seconds before falling 175 yards down the 14 foot wide shaft. Clough found his body in water at the pit bottom.Major Thomas Taylor, Coroner’s Report, Thursday 29 November 1877 James Haslegrave, aged 24, was the second fatality, when he was killed by a small fall of coal down the shaft, from a corf he'd just sent up to the surface.
In 1983, Costa joined the NSW Railways and started work as a trainee engineman, but never progressed to a driver, and became active in the Australian Federated Union of Locomotive Enginemen (AFULE). At the time the AFULE had a militant leadership who began a series of strikes over differences with the Australian Railways Union, whereby brake vans were removed from goods trains, and the guards were given locomotive jobs. Preferential treatment of the guards was seen by many as a reward for not striking over the loss of their jobs in brake vans. This led to Costa running against the incumbent leadership of the union in the AFULE's elections which Costa won convincingly.
3 On 25 November 1941, seven men were killed and 53 were injured when a trolley transporting miners down a sharply sloping shaft ran out of control. The incident happened at the 'Gorky' drift mine, with ninety men and boys taking the spake, an open-sided trolley fitted with cross planks for seating and a central overhead handrail as a holding point, down to the workings 525 yards below. The surface engineman suffered a temporary blackout and the manual brake was disengaged, causing the spake to quickly build up speed. Most of the injuries and fatalities were to miners who leapt from the spake and were thrown back under the trolley due to the narrowness of the drift shaft.
A fire broke out in the engine room of the Ramon Alcaraz shortly after it left the port of Cochin on the evening of May 7. The fire, which lasted for 10 minutes, was quickly extinguished by naval personnel. Two enlisted men, Fireman Second Class Engineman Alvin Aldecoa and Fireman Second Class Machinery Repairman Joemari Bag-o, suffered superficial and second- degree burns respectively, and had to be airlifted to a naval hospital in Cochin for extensive medical attention. The patrol ship stayed in Cochin for an additional 21 days to assess and repair the damage to the ship's propulsion system with the help of the US Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command.
Apart from one incline in the mines at Worsley, these were the only ones which carried boats until around 1819, and many visitors came to see them. Each incline required a team of four men to operate it. An engineman and a brakesman worked at the top of the incline, and a man was needed at each end to attach or detach the boats from the rope. Between the inclines, the boats were operated in trains, and Stephen Ballard, who visited the canal from the Herefordshire and Gloucestershire Canal in 1829, recorded that a single horse could pull 12 loaded boats with 60 tons of cargo, and trains of 18 or 20 boats could also be managed.
The boat was built in 1946 at the Curtis Bay Maryland Coast Guard Yard, where all 36-footers were built. On 18 February 1952, the crew of CG-36500, which consisted of Boatswain's Mate First Class Bernard C. Webber (coxswain), Engineman Third Class Andrew Fitzgerald, Seaman Ervin Maske, and Seaman Richard P. Livesey,Tougias, p. 37 rescued 32 of 33 crewmen trapped on the stern section of the tanker , which had broken in half in a storm off Chatham, Massachusetts. (The ship's eight other crew members, including Captain John Fitzgerald, were on the bow section when it broke off and sank.) The rescue of the survivors of the shipwrecked Pendleton is considered one of the most daring rescues of the United States Coast Guard.
The crews consisted of two army mariners, coxswain and engineman, and two Military Police as gunners.458th Transportation Company In the late 1990s, what remained of the U.S. Navy's PBR force was solely in the Naval Reserve (Swift Boats had been retired from the active duty U.S. Navy immediately following the Vietnam War during the early 1970s), and was moved further inland towards Sacramento, California, the state capital, which is also intertwined with rivers. From Sacramento, PBRs can still transit directly to and through San Francisco Bay and into the Pacific Ocean, if need be. The waters of the State Wildlife Area, next to the former U.S. Navy (Riverine) training base at Mare Island, are still available for U.S. Navy PBR usage.
Dr Troy was born in Beaconsfield, an inner suburb of Fremantle, Western Australia, to Paddy Troy, a seaman, union secretary and state leader of the Communist Party of Australia, and Mabel (née Neilson). He was educated at East Fremantle Primary School and at Fremantle Boys' School before commencing his studies at the University of Western Australia. Initially an engineering student, he undertook casual work on the docks between 1959 and 1961 before becoming a trainee engineman on the railways and ultimately a qualified fireman, and was involved in the Locomotive Engine Drivers' and Firemen's Union, and also with the Seamen's Union. For a time in the 1960s, he was also a member of the Communist Party and the Eureka Youth League, and played hockey with the North Fremantle Hockey Club.
The admiral agrees to seriously consider it if Dodge succeeds, telling Dodge to "throw out the book" and "think like a pirate" during the exercise. Graham, whilst boasting about how he has never lost a war game, handpicks the "crew from hell" for Stingray: hot-tempered, uptight Lt. Martin Pascal as the executive officer; crusty civilian naval contractor Howard as the chief engineer; rebellious Engineman 1st Class Brad Stepanek; sharp-eared Sonarman 2nd Class E.T. "Sonar" Lovacelli; compulsive gambler Seaman Stanley "Spots" Sylvesterson; former college basketball player Seaman Jefferson "R.J." Jackson; shock-addled Electrician's Mate Nitro; and not-so-Culinary Specialist Second Class Buckman, as Stingrays cook. Lt. Emily Lake is assigned by Graham to serve as the sub's diving officer, part of a "special program" to see if women can successfully serve aboard submarines.
In February 1969, Squadron One personnel began training RVN engineers in the maintenance and repair of the Point class cutters that would eventually be turned over to the South Vietnamese under the Vietnamization program.Cutler, p 373 On 22 March during routine operations involving the inspection of fishing craft for contraband arms and supplies, the chief engineer, Chief Engineman Morris S. Beeson of the Point Orient was killed by ambush fire from three shore positions while attempting to board a sampan near Qui Nhon.Kelley, sec 5, p 430 On 27 March, Point Dume was notified by a unit of the U.S. Army's 173rd Airborne Brigade that a VC unit was located at a village north of Qui Nhon and Point Dume was requested to perform a blocking patrol while the brigade's troops conducted a sweep. Point Dume assisted with naval gunfire support.
Red Bank firefighters were summoned as the train pulled into the station, and the fire was quickly put out. Damage was estimated at only $50.00. The passengers were unaware that there was any problem until they were politely asked to leave the dining car at the station. The Blue Comet was delayed for 39 minutes while the fire was put out and the dining car removed from service. The train arrived in Atlantic City only 22 minutes behind schedule. On August 19, 1939, train No 4218 was traveling east-bound with a consist of a combine Halley, a coach D'Arrest, a diner Giacobini, a second coach Winnecki, and an observation car Biela. Engine No. 820, a 4-6-2 Pacific was on point. Conductor Walsh and Engineman Thomas were in charge of the train, which was carrying 49 passengers and crew.
Tramway working was abandoned as from 28 July 1915, and the engines used were the 4-4-2T-type of the M-40 (later Z-11) class with American-type cars, but tramway type working was retained insofar as the single engineman was concerned. With the retirement of the M-40 class, engines of the Z-20 class (2-6-4T) worked the line exclusively thereafter. A waiting shed was brought into use at Queen's Wharf on 5 January 1894, the trams stopping with the car on the level crossing of Steamer Street, the platform not being added until the resumption of railway operation in 1915. The present day Northumberland Street bridge over the Hunter River to Phoenix Park and Clarence Town was opened on 15 June 1898, and this limited navigation above that point to craft without masts.
Swiftsure entered service on the L&MR; as a in October 1834 with two outside cylinders, for a price of £860. It was noted as being involved in a collision with at Parkside on 11 November 1934 with the consequence that a labourer was crushed between wagons of the stationary between the wagons of the stationary luggage train. The labourer was later to die of his injuries and the "occasional engineman" charge of Swiftsure was held responsible for entering a watering stop at more than and was sanctioned by losing his turn on the promotion list. Swiftsure was involved in a further incident in July 1835 whilst descending the incline at Whiston, Merseyside when a train of five silk wagons caught fire; the train took several hundred yards to stop and some wagons were only detached with difficulty.
When the new Hall Searchlight signals were introduced in 1920, the recorded response by many engineman was classic: "They took the old 'Hall Banjo Signal,' resurrected it from the grave and lighted it up!" In the UK, original electromechanical searchlight signals consisted of a low wattage incandescent bulb mounted behind a semaphore spectacle devoid of a blade behind a target. The Union Switch and Signal Company searchlight signal ubiquitous to the United States has an internal cable with weights system to mechanically align the signal in the red position if there is a system failure. Searchlight signal's use became widespread mostly due to their relatively low maintenance, high visibility, low power-consumption, and after 1932 using a compound lens with a 4 watt, 3 volt bulb, that worked quite well in territory with battery powered signaling.
Flag signals were used to give instructions to enginemen approaching Brockley Whins Junction; instructions from November 1839 indicate the procedure. Near the crossing, on each line, stood three posts, a short distance apart, the first post on the Brandling Junction line having a white flag upon it and the first post on the Stanhope and Tyne line a red flag. When a train reached the first post the engineman blew his whistle; at the second post he slackened speed; if there was a flag hoisted at the crossing—white for the Brandling Junction and red for the Stanhope and Tyne trains he proceeded through the crossing at half speed, but if no flag was exhibited, or if both flags were hoisted and waved backwards and forwards he stopped at the third post. The same rules were observed at night time, when lamps were hoisted instead of flags.
John Roby Leifchild wrote a report in 1842 for the Children's Employment Commission entitled "Employment of Children and Young Persons in the Collieries, Lead Mines, and Iron Works of Northumberland and the North of Durham; and on the Condition, Treatment, and Education of such Children and Young Persons". Leifchild found that Losh, Wilson & Bell paid its workers 30 to 36 shillings per week for a scrap-puddler; £2 5 shillings per week for a pudler; 18 shillings per week for a plate mill-furnace man; and 25 shillings per week for an engineman. The boiler engineer's family of wife and four children spent 18 shillings per week on provisions and 3 shillings per week on rent, leaving only 4 shillings for all other expenditure. In sport, an iron puddler, Robert Chambers of the company's Walker works, won the sculling championship at the 1857 Thames Regatta.
Abiyev Zhaksylyk Medihatovich, the father, graduated from Kazakh Polytechnic Institute named after V.I. Lenin now called Satbayev Kazakh National Technical University, majoring in machinery and equipment for Oil and Gas Industry. He worked with such organizations as: Aktobe oil exploration, geophysical expedition in the position of a diesel engineman; Oktyabrskoe Drilling Operations Institution in the positions of a mechanic and shop superintendent; Central Operational Support Base in the position of the chief engineer; TOO KKBK Velikaya Stena in the position of the shop superintendent; In recent years he worked as the deputy commander for operations at the VPFO Ak Beren Central Headquarters Professional Uniformed Emergency Services State Enterprise in the rank of lieutenant colonel. Abiyeva Tamara Asauhanovna, the mother, is a teacher at the university on the Architecture and building construction course, the Kazakh SSR chess champion. Zhaksylyk Marzhangul Zhaksylykovna, a sister, is a full-time student at Kazakh Humanities and Law Institute of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan (KAZGUU).
The investigation also criticized the flagman from No. 9, as unlike the flagman from the freight train, he failed to deploy torpedoes on the track (in his evidence he stated that when he heard No. 11 approaching he lit a fusee and placed it next to the engineman's side of the track and also flagged the oncoming train with a red flag but the engineman was looking across to the other side of the engine and failed to notice him). But as well as attributing blame to individuals the investigation also made a number of recommendations. The regulations guiding the use of torpedoes should be clarified as they rely too greatly on the judgment of rail staff. Automatic block signaling would have provided far greater protection had the blocks overlapped; meaning that protection would have been provided by two stop signals (rather than just one) as well as the caution, hence one signal missed would not then have resulted a disaster.
Having before him a schedule of the time of the passage of each train at its last station, he can determine its position at any desired moment with sufficient accuracy for his present purpose, and can adopt the best means of extricating the delayed trains and of regulating the movement of all so as to avoid any danger of collision or further entanglement. He then telegraphs to such stations as are necessary, giving orders to some trains to lay by for a certain period, or until certain trains have passed, and to others to proceed to certain stations and there await further orders. :To prevent any error or misunderstanding between the despatcher and the conductor of the train, he is required to write his order in the telegraph operator's book. The operator who receives the message is required to write it upon his book, and to fill up two printed copies, one of which he hands to the conductor of the train, and one to the engineman.
The wreck occurred on the first sharp curve > entering the Granite district, where the railroad company is now changing > the grade and spending a vast sum of money to eliminate the curve. On October 8, 1926, the investigation concluded that the accident was caused by excessive speed: While conflicting in some details the best evidence indicates that train No. 2 approached the curve on which the accident occurred at a speed of approximately 40 or 45 miles per hour and that although Road Foreman of Equipment Lillis, who was operating the engine in the place of Engineman Harpending, made an application of the air brakes before the curve was reached, yet this application was not made soon enough to effect any appreciable reduction in speed before the curve was reached. The speed on this and all other sharp curves on this railroad is restricted to 30 miles per hour, and in view of the fact that an elevation of only 4 inches is provided for it is not considered that the prescribed limit can with reasonable safety be exceeded.
