All Time Favorite Photos

Great thread, Rob.

Here is my favorite. 

Jack Delano's photo of the Super Chief refueling in Albuquerque.

Ginny and I based all of our Munoz Station activity on Jack's photograph.

For me, it was kind of hard, but these 2 pictures I took below are my favorites.

The more you know about Santa Fe, the more you can appreciate that Super Chief shot back in 1943.  Just imagine hopping into that photo and checking out the entire consist from knuckle to knuckle.  And mebby, just possibly, finding an empty berth for sale on a Yampai car headed out of town !   Santa Fe..All the Way !

This is the favorite of ones that I have taken.  Just happened to be ready with my camera on the BNSF race track outside Naperville, IL when these trains looked like they were racing each other.

Saw this a few years ago.

I love to look at this shot of the Seminole Gulf Railroad emerging from the Florida woods. 

A couple of favorites...

This is one of my favorites, even though I didn't take it.

 Of train photos I have taken, this is one of my favorites. Union Pacific at Mormon Rocks in Cajon pass.

The photo below was taken during the Steam Festival at Owosso, Michigan three or four years ago. More of my railroad photos at www.scaramouchephoto.com  Click "Railroads"

Jack - Here is a picture of that engine when it came through Big Rock, IL in June of 2009.  It was a grand looking and sounding engine.

For Hot Water and crew

Ah yes, Train Festival in Michigan, 2009. A great time was had by all, inspire of the rail, heat & humidity, and the minor derailment of the engine truck on 4449. Too bad we can't do it again.

A couple I took on fan trips in the 1970's--

High Iron Berkshire

and a trip in winter on the CN from Montreal to Quebec City. Broke down, hit a car and etc. Got back about 7AM the next day.

The Wabash Decatur shops are in the background.  I toured them when I was in the Cub Scout in the 50's, great memory.  Our Cub pack took a train from St. Louis and returned the same way in a coach provided to us by the railroad.  The coach was dropped off in Decatur and picked up again when we left.

I was in Decatur for a Thanksgiving in the early 80's and went back to take a look.  Although this F7 was in sad shape, it has been restored in Wabash colors and is at a museum in Illinois. 

The picture reminds me of happy some days.

One of my faves...
