When I liked Brian's post earlier my computer only showed the picture of the Amtrak turbotrain. I like his post even more know that I see all the oddballs he posted.

In 1970, when I hired out in engine service on the Los Angeles Division, the Engineer involved in this 1948 or '49 accident was long retired, but the Fireman was a Los Angeles Engineer. I could never get him engaged in conversation enough to get his first-hand account of this. He was not exactly Mr. Personality. His son was a few men younger than me in seniority, nice fellow. He died at a far too young age when he fell off of his roof while hanging Christmas lights.
Great photos guys, talk about cliff hangers.

Brian just keeps adding more interesting passenger trains to his post but I think the best one is the Airstreamonado.

NickPGH... , The farm vignette is fabulous = flawless! Plus, its judicious use of available space, and the very handsome building, is inspired and inspiring. Really beautiful.

Thank you!! It's actually a building flat that I made. They're very nice for things just like this. Adds depth to an otherwise small area.

Brian, do you know if the engines on the viaduct belong to the Norfolk & Western?
Larry
They belonged to the Erie Lackawanna.

So cool. I see these going by every now and then. Can see them from my driveway and hear them several times a day as I live very close to this RR.
Lee, you must live not too far away. Some of the pictures you have posted of the BNSF mainline trains look like they could have been taken just south of Tenino.
I live near Shelton and can hear the PSAP from my house. I used to hear the Simpson Timber trains before they shut down a couple of years ago. I see and hear UP engines quite often heading the Waste Management garbage train to and from Kitsap County.

Lee, I took that photo in October of 2013. The pair of them were freshly painted. I think they looked better in their ParkSierra livery.

The Historical Marker for this test/odd passenger car is in my home town, right next to the Amtrak "station", actually pretty much just a shelter from the elements

And here's a nice video on Don Wetzel, the NYCRR engineer, talking about that high speed run. I'm amazed his model train is not a model of that jet powered rain.

Briansilvermustang, Amazing array of coal industry related photos, informative, historic, and instructive for modeling, to be sure. Thank you!

TedW posted:So here's something to waste a few minutes on. Is this first picture photoshopped or painted from an actual photgraph of the engine(2nd photo)? Just curious. There are some similarities.
Take a good look of the orientation of the locomotive in each shot. It's extremely close but not the same photo.

Yep. Agree. Very similar angle but slightly different. Two photos taken at different times and places.

The building flat is certainly very effective!
Paul Ramos pictures were fantastic
Brian,
That is quite a lot of nice coal photos!

Hi Briansilvermustang, I'm glad to see that Doodlebug with trailing-coaches, especially showing more than one. I was never sure, so I kept mine short. Knowing you like juxtaposing real-life with model train photos, here's a view of mine...

Hey Briansilvermustang, Don't leave us hanging! How about the: who; what; where; when; why of those two scenes. If we were to model such places on a layout, folks would surely ask such questions of us, right?
sorry, no info on these, a friend of mine sent them to me and i thought others would like to see them,
i'll try and see if i can get any info on these........
