Look Mom, I can do my 1-2-3's

OK, let's start up the first of what I call "Pun Topics" by using photographs to count from #1 to as high as we can go (WITHOUT GAPS) with any piece of railroad equipment you have a photograph of.

I will get this start by posting a few photos I have taken over the years of equipment with a #1 marking



OK, who has #2 ???????

OK, Darren (Stourbridge Lion)

      I am gonna give it a shot.  (With some help from a new Poster MartBoltonUK(Martin). His first post was in Steam & preservation and referenced the Baldwin Locomotive Works 29900 which  wound up as the Reader RR #2. It is currently working at Tavares, Florida on the Tavares, Eustis & Gulf as #2. I is used to pull their trains  RERX 1 and RERX 2.

Link to move RERX 2:

Link to move RERX 1 and Locomotive TE&G #2:

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=380928

Her's a link to the pedigreee of BLW 29900 :

Number 2 (Lufkin Land & Lumber Company No. 2, Baldwin Locomotive Works January 1907)
#29900 was built by Baldwin Locomotive Works, January 1907, as Lufkin Land & Lumber Company No. 2. The small locomotive served on the Shreveport Houston & Gulf RR, the Carter-Kelley Lumber Co, the W.T. Carter and Brother Lumber Co, the Scott & Bearskin Lake RR, and now the Reader Railroad.

I did get that off of rail pictures, but I thought it would be perfect for the cause.

If that is considered cheating, then I apologize. Ashamed

DId my submission count? Not to bother you, I'm just unclear as to what the rules are. Is Railpictures forbidden?

All's good, #2 was also a link from there.  Granted it would be preferred that the actually images be shown within the topic but I also know about Railpictures policies.  Since I also had a #5 and #6 had not yet been posted I just repeated #5 before posting #6 and #7 was all.

OK, who has #8???

Here's Burlington Northern #14; I ran across it on a roster webpage the other day. I hope that counts.

I'm still not too confident with my ability to insert media, so the image may not appear...

You need the URL if the image itself not the URL of the page the image is on...

I adjusted your post to include the image.

Stourbridge Lion:

What a fun idea! So far so good. With 342,000 photos on RailPictures.net alone, you should be able to keep the numbers rolling.
