I see that Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane finally caught the Duke brothers! There's always something new to see...:)
More than likely it's just rubber-tired. With the size of those tires, climbing over a rail is even less than going over a speed bump. And the...
CPR GP9u 1608 (ex-8611) coming out of the woods at Exporail, on a sunny June 24th, 2016: [ATTACH] Somebody has a choice spot on the front platform!
That's what happens when the fireman is texting while coaling...:p
That's great! Thanks for sharing that.(y)
Nice photo. There are the colorful engines and rolling stock against a gray sky, gray buildings and mostly gray ground. That makes a great...
Wow - you're bringing back memories of my collection in my younger years. I had the Purina reefer, the cable reel flat, the Seatrain flat, and the...
A couple more boxcars, SP and Cotton Belt too: [ATTACH] Just inching into the frame on the left, yellow CPR caboose. Ste-Therese depot, late...
What I find great about those old photos where the crew poses with the engine is how proud they look. They're the crew of the most...
I remember reading about the FTs and how some WW2 veterans described the sound of a set of them, heard in the distance among the hills, as like a...
Is that a locomotive cab on the flat car behind 116-A? The visible window has the right shape, and the roof curve too. Looks like it's from a...
I serendipitously stumbled on a photo of a very similar unit in the Second Diesel Spotter's Guide. Davenport built 18 of them back in the 1950s....
Like a lot of military locomotives of that era, it was adjustable gauge, like the MRS-1. The only model designation I can find for 4700N is...
I like the second photo. Interesting angle and closeup of the cab of 4742. Good lighting angle too, bringing out the details.(y)
There's the difference between railfans and the rest of the people on the road: when we're "stuck" at a level crossing by a train, we pull out our...
I made an attempt to add lighting under the eaves of the station and along the platform. I must stress "attempt"...:confused: With everything...
GN got 10, Union Belt of Detroit got 2, and Southern did get one. Union Belt sold its two NW5s, one to Mississippi Export RR and the other to...
He does have the lobes for it.;) To paraphrase one of the rules of acquisition, if it's worth leasing once, it's worth leasing twice (or...
I guess it's unanimous - WOW! But if a train would cross just at that moment, it would have to be steam!:)
I like the Santa Fe E1s. That smooth, uncluttered front end with the steep slope was really gorgeous. Along with the B&O EAs, some of the finest...
