Ahoy Cap'n Tom!

Love those photos from Expo Rail - keep 'em comin'! Yeah!! [yeah]

I see there's a new face 'round here - Sign - Welcome [#welcome] - DD1 - to our humble 'n largely quiet thread on the Classic Trains (General Discussion) forum. Thumbs Up [tup] Wouldn't happen to be a Navy man, wudja?? <grin>

Enjoyed your input and as Tom has mentioned, I think you may find a more receptive bunch over at the Tavern by the Tracks called "Our" Place. In fact I KNOW you will.

Anyway, I'm a huge New York Central fan and can recall all kinds of trips "up river" aboard those fine, fine passenger trains of yesteryear. Lots of info "floating" around at Tom's bar along with some vivid recollections from many of the guys. Hope to see ya there!

Until the next time! Thumbs Up [tup]

G'day!

Good to see ya DD1 'n it isn't every day we get to learn of such an experience like yours on this lonely Thread! Thumbs Up [tup]

I've never been to Chile or ridden the rails in south America. Can only imagine what an experience that must've been. Thanx for sharing it with us! Thumbs Up [tup]

My travels aboard the NYC were all when diesel power was used. Never had the pleasure of a 20th Century Ltd trip with a "real live" Hudson. Fine machines, eh Question [?]

I'm a diesel kinda guy with a departure when it comes to the Pennsy GG1 - my most favorite of locomotives EVER! I can  fully appreciated the "steamers" though, nothing can surpass their majesty on the rails! Wow!! [wow]

Should you be interested, there's a cyber bar 'n grill on this Forum called "Our" Place. Many guys close to your age are involved with interesting conversation 'n fotos about Classic Trains with some fun thrown in. Join us any time you find yourself back in the Ether! <grin>

Should mention that there are plenty of fotos over at "Our" Place of steam locos from some recent trips to the St. Louis Museum of Transportation (Kirkwood, MO) 'n Expo Rail Canadian Railway Museum (Saint-Constant, Quebec). All you need to do is begin scrolling back through the Pages 'til mid-May - you may find these of intereset as well!

Later!

The year was 1969 and as we were pulling out of the railroad station in Santiago, Chile, the song "take the last train from Clarksville" by the Monkees was blareing from the platform PA system. We were headed south toward Concepcion on an overnight trip aboard a vintage passenger train pulled by an old Baldwin 4-6-0(I think). The passenger cars were old German built cars with lots of wood work. I made the mistake of sticking my head out the window and getting coal cinders in my eye. The train, by the way was in regular service, not rail fan. I have been back there since in 2002 and the train is no longer in service. They do have a very nice railroad museum there in Santiago and that's where I suspect the old engine ended up, I hope. Food service on the train was very good and served meats, fish and poultry cooked over charcoal. At night, the porter would pull down the berths. Of course much of the great Chilean wines were consummed during our trip. I can recall overnight trips on the NYC way back when the 20th century limited hauled by a Hudson would gently rock me to sleep. Those days are gone forever and never to be repeated. I'm fortunate to have been able to experience them. Diesels and railfan trips are no way close to the real thing. I'm 72 and lucky to have come on the scene before it all disappeared for ever.

Okay guys, I'm back for pics. So this lonely little thread should perk up a little more.

Our friends done at the museum here in Duluth MN. They're getting the SOO Line GP30 #700 ready for the Pizza train.

The last Wisconsin Central SD45 to ride the rails of Wisconsin. This locomotive is a former Northern Pacific SD45, the first one to be built for them too.

Happy railroadingLaugh [(-D]
