Hi Tom.
For the new site I thought I would post a couple of classic names in railroads.[tup].
A modern diesel but a great livery.
Another great railroad name I think.
Pete.

Hello, Tom. I was just passing by, looked into the window, and there ya wuz. So, I am posting an image I took last fall of ex-CNR, now Kamloops Heritage Railway, 2-8-0 #2141 that actually worked on the logging tracks in the Cowichan Valley in the 40’s, right here on Vancouver Island.
We had a nice tow by her for a Fall Spectacular on the Canuck Thanksgiving in early October.
Cheers.

I have to say I have a weakness for Consolidations, nice shot Crandell.I know that shot well Tom How about a “Hippo” to tie in with your post at the bar today[?]
Rob
Good Morning:
Just be glad you don’t have to fire the beast. The engine in the picture (Hamburg, NY) is on former Erie track, but they did run into and out of Buffalo regularly. The lcomotive in the photo spent a lot of time in Pennsylvana (around Pittsburgh) b4 it got moved to New York.

It is amazing how old things die hard eh Tom [?] this thread has it’s own life though,I’m sure it will go away kicking and screaming. Great cover as always sir [tup]Lets see to todays offering.
Wabash’s shop switcher now preserved ( operable ) in St Thomas Ontario.
Rob
Really nice pictures, looks like one of the old Pennsy calendars of the 1930s& 40s. Are any reprints of those calendars still for sale? For the ones who couldnt’ get to different divisions, they kept you up to date on the classes of engines. Just a memory bouncing off the walls of a rock cut.
Another Jim
Morning folks,Hi Jim I’ll have to defer your question to Tom as I am unsure.Check back later today. [tup]Lets see a shot from the museum today.
Our Classic First car. Toronto Railway Company Built 1326 manufactured in the TRC shops in 1910.

Rob
G’day!
I see we’ve been visited by Jim! As far as I know, there haven’t been any fotos “lifted” from RR calendars - for mine, I always try to identify the source - unless of course its obvious. Anyway, if you’re interested - you may enjoy what we do over at “Our” Place, on this Forum . . . check us out by reading Page 1 . . .
Good to see ya Rob - yeah, one never knows what we’ll be seeing on this Thread - just won’t give in . . .

Rob
Good Morning: A fine selection of interurban pictures.
There are several books out there re PRR calenadar pictures. You can find them at most of the usual online sites. IIRC, there is also a book about Grif Teller - calendar artist for PRR. Apologies to all if I messed up the spelling.
