Please show us a train being pulled (or pushed) by both  steam and diesels together.

A PRR T1 gives an assist to the single EMD diesel on this M&E train about to tackle the grades of central Pennsylvania:

Another diesel/steam powered train, please.

Well, it looks like the 24 hour deadline has passed, so here's a reply to fill my request...a not-too-big 0-8-0 pushing a boxcar...

Please show more short passenger or mail & express trains.

Here's Grand Valley Mogul 34, pulling-in to the newly-built covered platforms at Dunnville...

...with an express car and combine in-tow.

Here she is, a little later, about to cross the concrete span over Negro Creek...

The seven railfans, to the left, apparently have nerves of steel, and enough brains to keep off the unfenced right-of-way, too.

Wayne

Please show us some more small locomotives on passenger trains.

Wayne: "More modified photos, please."

A little figiting with PhotoFiltre and I managed a little stack smoke and some exhaust steam from the cylinders. More practice is needed.

Show me a photo that's been modified. The more radical mod the better.

This one's not very radical, but is among my favourites...

I took the original photo, but my brother added the smoke and steam, along with the fog effects out over Lake Erie.

Nice boxcar, Kevin, I've been a longtime fan of your work. Have you considered creating a boxcar lettered for the Carolwood Pacific (Walt Disney's freelanced backyard railroad)? 

Thank you for the compliment. I was not aware of Walt Disney's backyard railroad, but I do like the sound of the name CAROLWOOD PACIFIC. I believe that roadname will show up eventually. I appreciate the idea.

L. Zhou
Show me a flatcar, preferably with a load, please.

The flatcar is empty because it is acting as in idler for the extra sized load on the gondola. These are lettered for HURON STEEL Corporation. HURON STEEL was the creation of Jim Hediger.

Please show me another flat car.
