Very nice pics Tim.  Here are a few signs at the Illinois Railway Museum.

Nice pictures guys.

Andy, the 765 photos came out great.

Thanks for posting. 

I hope this link will work,  the 765 crew had a pretty good meal;

Finally, I got a chance this summer to visit a steam operation.  I made it to Jackson St. Roundhouse in St. Paul, MN last weekend.  OK, they don't have any running steam engines there, but the ones that are in pieces are even more interesting to me!  And, what better to photo old steamers with than my 1951 Rolleiflex?  First shot are the drivers from an partially disassembled steamer sitting outside.  Second shot is of the 2156 that is being actively worked on in the shop.  Third shot is of some wheel sets sitting outside the roundhouse.  I liked the harsh light & shadow and couldn't pass the shot up.  I love to take photos that are somewhat abstract, and this is a great place to do that!  Very friendly folks there and they gave me great access.
