Good Morning:

Just be glad you don't have to fire the beast.  The engine in the picture (Hamburg, NY) is on former Erie track, but they did run into and out of Buffalo regularly.  The lcomotive in the photo spent a lot of time in Pennsylvana (around Pittsburgh) b4 it got moved to New York.

Hello, Tom.  I was just passing by, looked into the window, and there ya wuz.  So, I am posting an image I took last fall of ex-CNR, now Kamloops Heritage Railway, 2-8-0 #2141 that actually worked on the logging tracks in the Cowichan Valley in the 40's, right here on Vancouver Island.

We had a nice tow by her for a Fall Spectacular on the Canuck Thanksgiving in early October.

Cheers.

For the new site I thought I would post a couple of classic names in railroads..

A modern diesel but a great livery.

Another great railroad name I think.
