A slightly different "road picture".
This is April 1984, on the (then) Conrail Harlem Line just north of Dover Plains, New York (where it becomes Metro-North to Brewster, and eventually G.C.T.).
We'd gone up to Wassaic to do our work, and I believe this was taken on the return in the afternoon, waiting for clearance to back down to Dover, get the train switched out, and then head back to Danbury.
I had brought the camera this trip so I got it out, walked down to the rear steps, climbed down and took the picture.

I took this at Canyon Hot Springs. It's all downhill to the coast from here.

While we're in Indiana, here's one from 1971...
Taken on the Monon's Maple Hill Branch, which served a number of quarries and mills southwest of Bloomington. It came off the main at Clear Creek, then wandered northwesterward. We lived just west of Rockport Road (which the RS2 is crossing) on Fullerton Pike for a year before we followed dad (after completing his MBA at Indiana U) to West Germany where he was ostensibly assigned to HQ USAFE (but was really assigned to a beyond top secret unit that actually operated under command of the JCS, AFTAC.)
Sorry about the quality, but at least it's better than the Monon caboose pic from the same era and location.

Same thing different day.
When your out on a road trip, you whip a U-turn on the highway and your wife asks you....."what the heck are you doing".
You comfortably say I'm turning around to take a picture of that beautiful locomotive.
