Welcome to August, everyone! As Nickel Plate Road 765 barnstorms the East on a Norfolk Southern publicity and employees tour, Here are some photos of the past few summers when she grabbed our attention.

First, at TrainFestival 2009 in Michigan.

Posing for photographers while being serviced in Alma, MI

Blowing smoke at the park in Ithaca (?)

outstanding in her field.

Now onto 2011 at Trainfestival Rock Island

Posing under the bridge in Rock Island, IL

Getting in position for an excursion. If you bought a ticket, it was either take photos or eat lunch. The layover in Bureau, IL allowed for only one or the other. I chose the lunch.

The rain that fell on Sunday of that weekend saddened the mood only a bit. A day of steam beats any day without. Sadly, I will miss her stomping around Harrisburg, PA this summer. I have a cousin's wedding in Newark that same time.

Sorry for the delay in bringing the thread on line today. I will try harder next time. LOL

Now the thread is yours to enjoy, improve or share with others your own pictures of railroading in the REAL WORLD. Have a great week.
