    SOU's famed 4501 at Knoxville, TN in the fall of 1977. I hadn't yet stepped up to Kodachrome and am happy to have caught this on good ol' Kodak Plus-X, processed in a basement darkroom. Good times.

    Good times and great photo! With the B&W film, it looks like it could be 1977 or 1947. You really nailed it.(y)(y):)

    NKP 2-8-2 587 storms through Ridgecrest, NC east of Asheville, 07/23/1989. Note the distant band of sunlight which appeared to highlight this spot just after the train passed. :oops:

    One morning going to work I caught NKP 765 going back to Fort Wayne, IN after a couple of weekends of excursion runs on the Cuyahoga Valley Railway.

    Great pic Hardcoaler! If the wind picks up to the right the Marlboro Man is going to catch some second hand smoke...

    May 2016 at the South Carolina Railroad Museum in Rockton, 0-6-0T 126. She's the real deal, built by the Vulcan Iron Works in Wilkes-Barre, PA in 1931 and completely rebuilt a few years prior to this photo. At the time, she was being trucked around the eastern U.S. to appear at various venues. I'm not sure of her status today.

    I believe it made it all the way to Oklahoma Railway Museum in Oklahoma City where it operated for a time.

    In Reykjavik, Iceland. Two of these little tea pots were used when the port was built. After the construction was finished, live rail never returned to the island.

    Bachmann made this one. Not a perfect match, but it has the general look.

    Thanks for that referral. I think perhaps this review covers that one?
