Great shots!
What was the significance of the gondola in the train? Was it used for an open-top obs in any way?
I'll bet the top speed on the Omaha line was no more than 10-20 MPH... http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif
somehow seeing a steam locomotive on a branch line looks much better than on the main.
Gary, thank Ron for us, will ya? http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif Tell him his shots are more than welcome here anytime (bettre yet, if he has 'Net access, get him to join Trainboard! http://www.trainboard.com/smile.gif )

Yeah, that high steppin's Pacific is a sight for sore eyes! She looks smart as new paint all slicked up. Ron, you are sure welcome here, come by often, and bring us some news and a photo when you do. Thanks.
