Nice panoramic shot. I especially like that style of engine as well. There's not really much interesting stuff around here. But in a town about 7 miles or so from my house a lady finally bought an old abandoned train station that's been sitting unused since I was knee high to a blade of grass and made use of it by turning it into a restaurant. I haven't checked it out as of yet myself. But I was told it's rather nice and has a small gift shop in it. If I even check it out I'll take a pic of it and post it here.

Cool! I'd love to see that station!

Nice picture. How many locos does that place have?

Goodness, a bunch of them I think, though as is typical, only a few are operable. Looking at their site it appears to be around 20. I'm hoping someday to hear their H12-44 since I've never heard an FM OP engine running.

A Fairbanks Morse engine would be a neat sound to hear.

I still miss the sound of the old ALCO rs-1's and 3's

Yah, ALCos have a marvelous rumble doesn't they? Plus they put on such a good show!

As an engineer I loved running them as they pulled great at both slow and fast speed as well as they ran fast. The sound they made was neat to listen too along with watching all the smoke you could make with them. However as a mechanic working on them I hated it because they were so labor intensive and always breaking down. I could send one out for a few weekends and with in a month it would be down again with another problem.
