Consider the New York Central's J4b Hudson, with poppet valves, built by Lima in 1953.

Try this: The NYC's Mercury / James Whitcomb Riley streamlined Pacifics, with the postwar "lightning stripe" scheme.

BNSF 1010 and a flaming B30-7A lead a southbound train on the Joint Line at Acequia, CO.
Description : GE's are known to "flash over" when uncombusted fuel enters the exhaust manifold. This usually occurs when throttling up due to the "turbo lag" inherent with GE locomotives.
Location : Acequia, Colorado on the Joint Line.

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Thomas is my hero today, as he is so essential to providing needing funding at so many railway museums and generating interest in railroading.

Ya, know, I never thought of trains in Iraq until I saw these. This is a logo from the Iraqi Republic Railway.
And here's a pic of a daily commuter train to Bagdad.

A MARC (Maryland Area Rail Commuter) GP40WH-2, along side a bi-level cab coach. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, it is a cab car.

Thanks Markn. The Rock Island E6 and the E8 (coupled behind the E6) are still at the Midland Railway, an excursion railroad in Baldwin City, KS, which is about 45 minutes West of Kansas City. They have a website that lists their roster.

Take care,
