    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.

    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.
