Another day at the freight yard , more 182 and 152 electrics enjoy a bath in evening sunlight

Back to Black ! - as Amy would have sung :  Dispo 182 class piloting Taurus on freight from Austria awaiting highball to continue northbound .  

Not that the load would be that heavy , yet with private rail transport enterprises invading what formerly were national railways there is some light engine traffic , usually arranged by piloting to avoid an additional unit in dense mainline traffic .

Prussian S-9 saturated steam four cylinder compound Atlantic ( not really ) on my desktop screen

The lure and mystery of steam 

SNCF Four cylinder compound Mountain , northbound on an express Basel , Switzerland - Strassbourg , Lorraine , France 

photo by the late J M Hartmann , around 1967

 

#20 .. Oops 

 

Uhm , Chrysler didn't exactly built a 4-8-4 , didn't they ?

although , they did built a 4-4-0 *gee* - but that's another story ..

( line below reads "Built for the 1 man in 4 who wants a little bit more"  -- Man ..? )

 

Regards from  = J =

 

edit :  I replaced #200 , to be relocated to thread "steam aesthetics"
