    Great photos, especially the steamers. ATSF 3751 is gorgeous - those Santa Fe locos had an elegant simplicity to them. The 4-4-0 is beautiful too - those posing in the shot seem to be proud of it!

    I could spend hours looking at collections of old photos like these. Everything just seems much better and simpler to me.

    Collecting old photos has always been a passion of mine. A veritable window into the past.
