Ahoy everyone!
It’s been awhile but I’m back for a few pictures to show.
Starting off with this SD9.
B&O 1838 SD9, Cumberland, Maryland Feb 21, 1987, Photo by Doug Boyd, Kodachrome. I am impressed with the amount of rust on this locomotive. I think they quit taking care of the body. But a nice little start to tomorrows theme at the bar.
Now some of you may not be familiar with this railroad. The B&LE or Bessemier and Lake Erie. The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range bought this railroad and took over it’s operation in the late 80’s. BLE SD9 #843, Toronto, Ontario, SD9, Kodachrome by D. Whitnall Feb 1988
Another B&LE locomotive, but this time something rare. These locomotives are Alco RSD-15s. The B&LE had quite a few of these in there loco roster. They were some of the coolest locomotives this railroad had. BLE 886, Albion, PA, RSD15, April 7, 1968, Kodachrome by R. W. Richards
Happy railroading[(-D]

Good evening again gents.Indeed nice to see this thread still creeping along to page 100 [tup] I see that the B&O has gradually faded out here just as at the bar,no problem ncie to see some cintinuity [tup]Great to see a visit by BK from the rockies as well.Here’s few more passenger shots from an October 2002 trip on the Agawa canyon train of te Algoma Central / CN
The “power” at Sault Ste Marie station
Shot of the canyon from the train
Crossing the Montreal river Bridge
Shot of the river and the Agawa canyon’s scenery from the train.
Sorry for the fuzziness of the pictures the weather was sleety and shot from inside the moving train.
Rob
Ahoy Cap’n Tom!
Let me drop off my last for a few days . . . “theme” at the bar is C&O!
Until the next time! [tup]
Lars
I see that Lars has been in with a couple good pictures for the C&O story currently running over at the bar. [tup] I have no C&O pictures so the closest that I can contribute visually will be the following.
A CSX intermodal heading towards Buffalo on their former Conrail lines.
Rob
Holla Tom and crew.
I see some nice pictures that have been dropped off. Now it’s my turn.
Thought I would start it off with a Milwaukee road FP45. But as you may notice, the one is in the freight paint scheme. (orange and black) There are about 4 or 5 different schemes this was in. The UP 1955 scheme. The Hiawatha scheme, the freight scheme, the commuter rail scheme and so on. A very nice looking locomotive.
Bensenville, IL, April 1969
And one to go along with the theme of the day over at the bar.

From my 2006 Alaskan trip . . . taken from the northbound ARR Denali Star of the passing southbound same named train . . .
Interesting markings on the lower right, eh [?] [swg]

Tom [4:-)] [oX)]
G-day everyone!

So here we go, another round of pics!!
Now here are some fine looking Santa Fe F-units.
ATSF 210C Somerville, Texas, July 4, 1971, Kodachrome by John Gwinn
How about a nice looking Baltimore & Ohio train. A nice looking EMD E-unit leads this train around a corner. There are many more pictures over at the bar!
B&O 1463, Rodemer, on the “Metropolitan”, July 1969
Happy Railroading[(-D]
James
Howdy again folks. Yup like James said there still is some life in this old girl yet [swg]Nice to see some continuing support from the familiar faces around here. F45’s and F units and E units from James and some equally appealing drunheads and passenger pics from her captain [tup] In keeping with the passenger motif , here’s a cross example of trains through CN’s Bayview junction in Burlington Ontario.
VIA’s train 94 the rainbow to Niagara westbound towards Hamilton
Go transit’s Hamilton -Toronto commuter heading eastbound to Toronto.
VIA train 83 Sarnia bound passing through Bayview lead by the Home Hardware F40
Rob
G-day again gents. Well keeping in step with yesterdays pictures, here’s a few freight trains through Bayview junction.
Finally just a scenery shot of Bayview jct.
Rob
G-day again folks, here’s another short phot spread from bayview.
What’s this thing [?]
The CPR portion of the Junction. A train on CP’s hamilton jct downbound towards bayview
Rob
G-day all!
Thought I would drop by with some pictures![tup] Some good looking pictures out there. Keep um coming!
Got to have the Milwaukee road moment in here somewhere![;)] Milwaukee Road Little Joe E79 sits with another Little Joe and a couple of GPs with there train.
Deer Lodge, Montana, August 14, 1967, Kodachrome photo by Karl C. Henkels
The lets get a little bit of Rock Island power in there. A U25B leads a GP40 through Houston, Texas. Rock Island 217, Feb 1975, Houston, TX
And a Southern GP30 high nose. These locomotives had a nice design to them, but must have been a pain for the crew.

Enjoy!
