My Sis in the cab of a B&O F.

The B&O did it right.  The engine looks like it has fresh paint and is very clean.  That Salem mirror/wind deflector behind the cab window is very unusual.

The Park Special had just arrived in Victor, Id on that morning. Off the Tetons and Yellowstone!

Great photo Brian! 

Good Afternoon,

Nothing to do with politics, just thought is was a wonderful picture.🚂

"Aerial view"

Turning 90 degrees and looking out the window, light planes pass by (from left to right) at about 50ft altitude approaching our airport runway. You almost look level out the window. The jets (charters and private) are a bit higher but on a steeper glide path (est 75-100ft).

Great pic.  The guy on the right is really in style !

That B&A bobber would look great behind a K-Line B&A tank engine.

A view from across the tracks.

Brian, what a beautiful pic. A scene repeated many thousands of times through the years in NYC and Chicago.

Brian, you've rolled out the original red carpet.

Aside from any other thoughts about that era, I have always admired the code of dress.  Suits, ties, overcoats, hats and classic garb for women.  From our vantage point of sweat suits and worse, those years look attractive.

Good morning,

Wish this was still running!

so cool!🚃

Locomotives in 1953 Patsburg.

Twofir Tuesday. " the bobber "

Good Afternoon, 

Another wonderful run of endless track! I actually took this picture so I can match the ballast on my layout plus ended up using this picture as wallpaper on my phone.😁

Picked these up from the Guinness Ambassador at the Church Hill Irish Festival (Richmond, VA) this past weekend.  Imagine the Magooville townsfolk's disappointment to find out they are all empties.

Steam excursion on the Plywood Empire Route!

Another classic streamliner. 

Found this rare photo online the other day of the PRR S1, my all time favorite steam locomotive! The quality of the photo is not the best, but by the looks of it I'd say this was taken fairly late into the S1's lifetime 

The automobiles in that above PA S-1 are mid-1930's except possibly the nearest one to camera, partially obscured  by bystander.  That may be a 1939 or 1940 Studebaker....or possibly a Hudson.  Its headlights are not clear...if sealed beams, car would be 1940, when they were introduced. Of course, if during WWII, older cars stayed on road and photo could be later, but not earlier than 1939.

Then 2yr old Granddaughter in 2005:

B&P nee B&O nee BR&P about two miles North of Adrian (according to USPS, Montgomeryville according to the name on the old BR&P station and Gumtown to the people who live there). Dad bought the reproduction railroad lantern for the occasion.

Yesterday, my sisters, on a road trip, rode the Durango-Silverton.  Funny thing, I think they actually thought I wanted pictures of them.

I wonder if this is the same OB that I seen at the Museum of Transport near St.Louis, a few weeks ago? Also, thanks for posting, Brian!

Ran across these pics I took waaaaay back in '98, standing on the platform at Johnstown. Taken with the second digital camera model Kodak manufactured (1 megapixel).
