    Bill, that whistle just shot goosebumps up and down me body. According to a young local guy on the train, the hogger is the one who hand made that thing. It looks like a smokestack sitting up there! I would compare it to the N&W class J. Big sound on a little engine. :D

    Jim,
    I said a lie! That Shay I posted is the last of the steam pics Mike had taken from his weeks vacation! I could have swore there were more but theirs not! I posted them all.. So. I'll go get pictures of different ones from the fallen flags site to post :D

    The devil of the silver bromide made me do this. Converted one of last week's 700 shots to black and white, and these Baldwins just look good that way. In Portland, they call her "The Lady" and she sure is pretty. ;)
