Don't know what happened to that photo - but I fixed it. I think Photo Bucket was the culprit, but don't know why.
Nice poster!

Yes I do! Nice stylized representation of a New Haven I-5; the last stem engines the New Haven acquired.
BTW, check out the ancient baggage car in Lars's MP picture - wonder how long that had been around.

Nothing wrong with CLASSIC steam locos - keep 'em coming Lars!

Good afternoon All - Anything NYC is noticed. (LOL) That poster is a classic Hudson Division scene. I remember riding past that yrs. back when one could still travel from GCT to Chicago.
Lars - Harwood's book on the Royal Blue has been reprinted - good history of the B&O service on tnat part of the system - check it out if you haven't seen it.
Yeah, that Storm King poster is a "gudun" - you posted it a few pages ago if I recollect. But not to worry, who else but me would notice! <grin>
Got some steamers over at the bar, 'n I'm not talking about clams! So, I'm gonna switch gears 'n go with some locomotives for awhilie . . .

Great to see our NZ Connection from the bar stop by this site!
Here's a departure from what we've been doing - a little something from a dear old friend from days gone by at "Our" Place . . .
The HPS was a typical BESA design locomotive, and prior to the advent of the bullet nosed WP, was the standard and most popular express power on the Indian Railways. Several were hard at work well into the late 1980s, especially on the NR and SR. Express passenger locomotives were loosely referred to as 'mail engines' in India, and the handsome HPS class of locomotives was the standard mail engine till the WPs came in. The engines had a maximum speed of 90 kmph, in keeping with their sleek express engine profile. The HPS/2 was in fact a derivative from an earlier HP class of locomotive. Other variants of the HP were the HPS and HPS/1. All (except the HP class) were provided with superheating. (from: http://www.irfca.org/~shankie/nrm/outdoor3.htm)
Great to see ya over at this lonely outpost, Allan! Spring in NZ, eh Well, I'm most pleased to see the beginning of the coming of fall . . . this was a brutal summer in mid-continent USA. The change of the seasons can't get here soon enough for Moi!! <grin>
