The ball park in Houston has a little bit of railroad theme. They preserved the old Houston Union Station head house and incorporated it into the left field wall. The old waiting room is restored to its former glory and is kind of cool to walk through.
Love them 'peek-a-boo' shots! Here's a noisy train with a polite horn at the beginning and some noisy wheelsets. This was at a field entrance crossing just east of Miles City, MT near Blatchford siding.
From the summer of '76 or '77 at Hudson, OH, an Alco C-636 and mates are ready to pull. CR collected many of its big Alcos in ore train service at Mingo Junction, OH west of Pittsburgh.
