Engineman

By the engine stood a dark motionless being, a sooty and grimy embodiment of tallness, in a sort of trance, with a heap of coals by his side: it was the engineman. The isolation of his manner and colour lent him the appearance of a creature from Tophet, who had strayed into the pellucid smokelessness of this region of yellow grain and pale soil, with which he had nothing in common, to amaze and to discompose its aborigines.

He trained as an engineman; attended the Naval Submarine School in New London, Conn.; and completed Navy Dive School in San Diego.

Less than half-an-hour earlier, the engineman on the "downline" goods train had informed the policeman at the Queensville crossing, Stafford, that he had seen flames.

Kirk's father worked as an engineman for a railroad, and the family lived in a prefabricated Sears, Roebuck, and Co.

He had only been stationed in Bahrain for three weeks at the time of the accident and was an Engineman 2nd Class with the mine countermeasures ship Sentry.

He said he hadn't experienced any exertional fatigue or difficulty completing the rigorous physical tasks of his occupation as an engineman on the ship.

His loyal engineman and best friend Mel Gouthro was due to go, but he was too ill.

Not quite engineering, but a shovel for my work as an engineman on a heritage railway.
