Years ago the History Channel broadcast a series titled ‘Trains’, they had a lot of that sort, as well as archival footage. Recently the ‘Big Boy’ made a stopover at Union Station in KC, I sort of regret not making the three hour trip up there to see it. ___________________________________________________________________________ "....imitate the action of the Tiger." | |||

Jolene and I road steam last fall on the Cuyahoga Fall Scenic Railroad. Second or third ride on that line but first for the steam. It was great. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

I like clean air as much as the next guy, but that coal rolling smoke cloud made me turgid - in a freedom sense. | |||

So dirty. So inefficient. So alive. I would kill to co engineer that. -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. JALLEN 10/18/18 https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...610094844#7610094844 | |||

After spending several nights at a hospital right next to train tracks, I was kept awake all night with the whistles. Determined to find out what the code was, (and the same whistle sequence that train blew), two longs, a short, and a long means "engine in front crossing at grade". Great stuff sigmonkey. Lots of well tuned mechanical work being done by those machines. When in doubt, mumble | |||

Those are cool, especially jrfixer's running down the middle of the highway. I grew up around trains, grandpa was an engineer for Nickel Plate (New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad) and uncle worked in one of the many Chicago rail yards. | |||

Nice pics. Thanks. We rode the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad after driving the Tail of the Dragon. Great train ride too. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Too lazy to find pics from Durango & Silverton train, but if you ever are in CO, you should spend the time to make the ride. There is something so soothing about the sound of a steam powered train. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

We are going to ride the Cass in WV this summer. They use Shay locomotives that were built (if I understand correctly) in Lima Ohio near where I live. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||
