I realize I can get a free Facebook account, but I got rid of my account five years ago, and I am happy to be Facebook-free.

I'd love to upload these to Trains site--but I lack the computer ability to meet the Trains format requirements.

You can't 'upload' anything to Kalmbach Media's sites: they explicitly made the decision not to host anything.

What they do is allow you to LINK to images you save on one of the Web sites that specialize in image hosting.  Those will provide you with an URL, BBcode, etc. that you can insert in a post.  There are 'stickies' in most of the forums, and a number of past threads you can find through Community Search, with advice on how to do it.

I've begun to share photos from some of the lesser known steam excursion lines. The first highlights a 1990s trip over the Kinzua Viaduct in western Pennsylvania, before it was lost in 2003 to a fluke tornado (and decades of unremediated rust). If interested it is at https://www.facebook.com/carl.fowler.7355 with a posting date of September 16, 2023. Chinese 2-8-2 USRA WW1 designed power--same engine that now runs on the Valley RR in Connecticut.

 

The Chinese SY is much smaller and lighter than any USRA locomtive.

The design originated in light weight Alco export locomotives sold to China shortly after the First World War, and they have features in common with the USRA locomotives. However, they were built in China right up to the 1990s. Many similar locomotives were built in Japan for occupied areas of China during the 1930s, but those in the USA were built new.

Thanks,Carl, for sharing your photos.   THAT is quite the site!  

Unfortunately, Facistbook, and its accompaning  gnomes; preclude my future ability to enjoy it.
