CN "Bullet-nose Betty" 6060 - quite a charm to see! The engineers loved those machines... they ran like Swiss watches. Those and their Northerns could be pushed up to 90 mph and you didn't feel it, so well-balanced they were.

Wow! That's really getting me all steamed up! That top one is a great action shot. Belching smoke and blowing out steam while thundering along...

6060 has been on my "bucket list" since I saw a video of her back in the 1990's. This is a great collection, Will.

Bill, you're sharing great photos, and thank you for that. However seeing a Central and Pennsy lashed with a Penn Central (YUK!) represents a travesty to two GREAT railroads. PC was born of multiple knee jerk reactions by Directors incapable of looking forward with imagination and vision. If Only.....
Winter steam AND a Santa Fe PA... very nice! I really like the moody shot of 3985 in Cheyenne. The dark lighting makes this beast look really massive.
