Northern Pacific Z-8 on the turntable, at night:

Nobody interested in posting "night photos"?

Here is another one;  UP FEF-3 844 in for servicing.

Very nice !!

How about that?.....Brian got Hotwater to post photos!

I'm not sure if this one was taken at dusk or before a thunderstorm:

Here are a few from a "Night Run" we did a few months back.

Nice video. However, the NYC locomotive that hauled the Mercury was a Pacific (4-6-2), and the locomotive in the video appears to be the Empire State Express Hudson.

Thanks Jack.  Then whats with Lionel putting "The Mercury" on the pilot above the ESE logo?  More fantasy stuff?

FWIW it is the ESE hudson with the J3 tender, if that makes any difference.

Love the "Polar Express" look of this photo!

Passing trains that have no name.

When I first saw this thread, this was the first thing that came to mind. The movie's a bit dated after over 50 years, but still good for a chuckle.

Back in the day - My buddy and I lined up a couple of lovely ladies and went to the drive in at West Nyack with the intent of having a delightful makeout session.  However, this movie was playing and we wound up mostly laughing, even better.
