G-day guys and those visiting!
Well, it's still going and I'm joining in with the fun. So here goes.
Another Milwaukee Road shot for you all. F7 #97A, Bensenville, IL, Oct 28, 1974 Kodachrome
And yet another Milwaukee road shot. These are F9s leading there train around a corner somewhere in Illinois. Note the classic maroon, orange, and black paint of the Milwaukee Road.
A nice shot indeed.
That's all for now.
James
And another . . .
Good Morning Cap'n Tom!
I see the protocol these times has it down to perhaps one photo per submission. That does make a great deal of sense to me in light of the participation from "outside."
Just left the bar and wanted to make an appearance here, where at one time I tried to do so on a daily basis. Times and circumstances change, sorry to say.
A contribution to keeping this fine thread running:
BK in Alberta, Canada's beautiful high mountain country!
No takers I see . . . so, here's one more!
The return of the Larsman . . . just dropped off my thoughts over at the bar and took note that James 'n Rob are "at it again" in keeping this thread up 'n runnin' . . .
So, here's one from me . . .
G-day all!
Thought I would drop by with some pictures! Some good looking pictures out there. Keep um coming!
Got to have the Milwaukee road moment in here somewhere! Milwaukee Road Little Joe E79 sits with another Little Joe and a couple of GPs with there train.

The lets get a little bit of Rock Island power in there. A U25B leads a GP40 through Houston, Texas. Rock Island 217, Feb 1975, Houston, TX
And a Southern GP30 high nose. These locomotives had a nice design to them, but must have been a pain for the crew.

Happy railroading
G-day again folks, here's another short phot spread from bayview.
What's this thing
The CPR portion of the Junction. A train on CP's hamilton jct downbound towards bayview
G-day again gents. Well keeping in step with yesterdays pictures, here's a few freight trains through Bayview junction.
Finally just a scenery shot of Bayview jct.
Howdy again folks. Yup like James said there still is some life in this old girl yet Nice to see some continuing support from the familiar faces around here. F45's and F units and E units from James and some equally appealing drunheads and passenger pics from her captain In keeping with the passenger motif , here's a cross example of trains through CN's Bayview junction in Burlington Ontario.
VIA's train 94 the rainbow to Niagara westbound towards Hamilton
Go transit's Hamilton -Toronto commuter heading eastbound to Toronto.
VIA train 83 Sarnia bound passing through Bayview lead by the Home Hardware F40
G-day everyone!
Tom, I won't let this thread go without a fight!!
So here we go, another round of pics!!
Now here are some fine looking Santa Fe F-units.
ATSF 210C Somerville, Texas, July 4, 1971, Kodachrome by John Gwinn
How about a nice looking Baltimore & Ohio train. A nice looking EMD E-unit leads this train around a corner. There are many more pictures over at the bar!
B&O 1463, Rodemer, on the "Metropolitan", July 1969
Happy Railroading
Just one for the road . . .
From my 2006 Alaskan trip . . . taken from the northbound ARR Denali Star of the passing southbound same named train . . .
Interesting markings on the lower right, eh
James - Rob 'n Lars: You guys are determined to keep this Thread up 'n running!
Sooooo, let's see - yesterday at the bar we had C&O for the theme. Check this out . . .
Holla Tom and crew.
I see some nice pictures that have been dropped off. Now it's my turn.
Thought I would start it off with a Milwaukee road FP45. But as you may notice, the one is in the freight paint scheme. (orange and black) There are about 4 or 5 different schemes this was in. The UP 1955 scheme. The Hiawatha scheme, the freight scheme, the commuter rail scheme and so on. A very nice looking locomotive.
Bensenville, IL, April 1969
And one to go along with the theme of the day over at the bar.
B&O 1830 SD9, Cumberland, Maryland, March 1, 1986, Photo by Doug Boyd, Kodachrome
I see that Lars has been in with a couple good pictures for the C&O story currently running over at the bar. I have no C&O pictures so the closest that I can contribute visually will be the following.
A CSX intermodal heading towards Buffalo on their former Conrail lines.
Let me drop off my last for a few days . . . "theme" at the bar is C&O!
Good evening again gents.Indeed nice to see this thread still creeping along to page 100 I see that the B&O has gradually faded out here just as at the bar,no problem ncie to see some cintinuity Great to see a visit by BK from the rockies as well.Here's few more passenger shots from an October 2002 trip on the Agawa canyon train of te Algoma Central / CN
The "power" at Sault Ste Marie station
Shot of the canyon from the train
Crossing the Montreal river Bridge
Shot of the river and the Agawa canyon's scenery from the train.
Sorry for the fuzziness of the pictures the weather was sleety and shot from inside the moving train.
Ahoy everyone!
It's been awhile but I'm back for a few pictures to show.
Starting off with this SD9.
B&O 1838 SD9, Cumberland, Maryland Feb 21, 1987, Photo by Doug Boyd, Kodachrome. I am impressed with the amount of rust on this locomotive. I think they quit taking care of the body. But a nice little start to tomorrows theme at the bar.
Now some of you may not be familiar with this railroad. The B&LE or Bessemier and Lake Erie. The Duluth Missabe and Iron Range bought this railroad and took over it's operation in the late 80's. BLE SD9 #843, Toronto, Ontario, SD9, Kodachrome by D. Whitnall Feb 1988
Another B&LE locomotive, but this time something rare. These locomotives are Alco RSD-15s. The B&LE had quite a few of these in there loco roster. They were some of the coolest locomotives this railroad had. BLE 886, Albion, PA, RSD15, April 7, 1968, Kodachrome by R. W. Richards
Love those shots taken from the rear of a train!
Book cover for the day!
Nice change of pace from Lars!
Something from a VIA Rail trip to Montreal from Halifax a few ago . . .
Between Moncton and Sackville, NB
Ok, time for a switch-er-oooo! Check this out!
Really great to have you aboard once again, BK!
B&O continues . . .
Some DRUMHEADS of the B&O
Good Day Captain Tom!
Just a brief return with a submission to help sustain this fine site, that I note is approaching ONE HUNDRED PAGES!
