    What a haul! You really went all out there, Bill! From steam to diesel, and even a "mess", everything is covered.

    Good job, everyone!(y)

    Great Photos! As usual!
    It is good to see more steam being restored. 844 is back on the rails and I CANT WAIT until 4014 is under steam again The smaller operating railroads and museums are doing a great job with their collections too. With the Independence Day holiday upon us, these photos and operations prove just how talented, inquisitive and persevering Americans truly are. Thanks again!

    What a storyline this week!!! Thank you for my selection. Heard the Erie was going to park at Silvis so I made the 1 hour 15 min drive to the Quad Cities from Cedar Rapids to snap a few photos.

    Managed to get him trailing on another grain train going east yesterday. 100_3624.JPG

    Looks like they are making an effort to keep it clean.
