    T&NO Mikado on the Austin Steam Train's Hill Country Flyer near Bertram, Texas in September 1992. I hope that some day they will get this locomotive back together again and running so we can get our cars in a train behind it.

    From 08/14/1975 at New Hope, PA, NH&I's 2-8-0 #40. Built in 1925 by Baldwin for South Carolina's Lancaster & Chester Railroad, then sold to North Carolina's Cliffside Railroad in 1947.

    Interesting, that Penn Central logo, on what looks like a Baldwin diesel switcher.

    PC came and went, as so many other railroads did, and this sharp Consolidation is still steaming 50 years after coming out of Eddystone.

    Whoa, who'd have thought?

    This is a steam thread, but I'll post the Baldwin here, a former NYC S-12. Photo taken the same day. My memory is hazy, but I'm thinking that the NH&I found that the Baldwin was beyond repair and it was cut up.

    Black River & Western's 2-8-0 #60 at Flemington NJ. 07/24/1976. She's a 1937 Alco graduate, a former Great Western (CO) sugar hauler and is still in service on the BR&W.

    1218 on the former CofG, southbound at Goodwater AL, 11/11/1990. I'd found a nice shot at Goodwater in an old issue of Trains Magazine, so my wife and I headed out early on this day to see what we might find there some decades later. Things had grown in, but not so much as to spoil a picture. Its remoteness also resulted in a picture without a trackside fan in sight.

    Some more polished brass:
    JohnMolson.JPG

    The John Molson, among the first steam locomotives that ever ran in Canada - in the 1840s - showing the typical ornate brightwork of engines of the time. Of course, I like shiny stuff...

    It also has a respectably loud chuff out the balloon stack when gunned on the throttle.

    Though this one's time started in 1970 when this replica 2-2-2 was built from original drawings by Kawasaki in Japan... you read right...
