Don't look down when you are on the Highline if you are afraid of heights; but, it's a great view... [ March 14, 2006, 01:23 PM: Message edited by: Stourbridge Lion ]
AWEsome shot! What kind of climb did that shot require? Here's the shot looking straight down from the train on the hi-line area: And a view of the train on the hi-line:
Not much at all as this was one of the stops made on the Photographers Special. They let us out and backed the train around the corner and came at us "TWICE" at full steam. Here is another shot from the second pass. [ March 14, 2006, 01:24 PM: Message edited by: Stourbridge Lion ]
Fantastic area! Nice shot too! I'm so glad I rode it before I head north... Let's go back a bit, this poor trucker on I-80 just got 'nuked' by fireman Lynn Nystrom, and UP 3985--any ideas why they call him 'Nasty'?
Steriograph of steam engine at Disney Land. If you push back from your monitor 2.5 to 3 feet and stare past/through the screen like you were looking off into the distance, you can merge the two images into a 3D view.
Both photos from the J.E. Motts collection; taken by G.H. Motts : 5000 series departs west end of Globe Mills ice house, El Paso Texas, late 1940's, early 50's ??? Deming or Lordsburg New Mexico :
Here's one I shot on Saturday. This is the only remaining operational narrow gauge steamer in Mexico. Baldwin 2-8-0 built in 1904. Shot down in Cuautla, Morelos, about 2 hours south of Mexico City. Regards Ed
Ed, what gauge is that interesting looking locomotive? Slide valves, what kind of running gear? Love that headlight.
Jim It´s 3 foot gauge. Built back about 1881. Not sure about the valve gear, but wait til I get back home from my trip north and I´ll either check it out or post a better photo of the gear. Regards Ed
Different look at an SP cab forward. Photo's by G. H. Motts, late 1940's ???. Back shop of El Paso Texas roundhouse. Looks like a major rebuild.
