Old Train Photo

very nice. why don't we make this thread continue with more old train pics?

 1943 image of the Long Island RR's Morris Park Shops. WWII lady laborers walking along the live tracks.

One of my favorites..

Very nice Spence. The Buick in the photo is close to my first car. Brought back a memory.

That's the best looking group of railroad workers I've ever seen!

Spence posted a beautiful picture, just a spectacular, lovely scene.  

But wow!  The one above?  Big locomotives were really BIG, weren't they?

Here are a couple of my favourites. 

I bought these at auction a few months ago. I have the info in the name of the file.

Well, not quite that old.  Shot on the Heber Valley Railroad at Edwards Lane, Feb 6, 2007.

Nice picture, though.

My guess is that the women roundhouse workers beside the G5 at the Morris Park roundhouse and shops were employed during WW II.

I well remember those seemingly HUGE drivers as a child alighting the train in Hicksville in the late 1940's to visit my grandfather.

The Futura style lettering on the engine dates it to the World War 2 era. It looks rather well polished and tidy as well in this photo

How about a little art deco......UP M10004 " City of San Fransisco" In its heyday!!

Here is my "not quite that old" train pic.  I was shooting the Southern Pacific 2472 when a restored 1949 Chevy pick-up pulled up to a crossing.  I felt like it was back in the day.

Got these of a web site and saved them as my screen saver!

Does 1973 count as old nowadays?

How about the blizzard of 1899 in south central PA with the 1st train to make it into town....stopping at the station on Carlisle St.  Either an H1 or an H2 odd on front; still trying to locate a picture of the 2nd engine a few cars back on this train.

and blasting through the center square.

Poor photo....but it's my only family photo of my Great Grandfathers B&O loco.

Hi Dave, 

I think that you've already seen this, but I found a clearer photograph of your great grandfather's locomotive on this web page. If you haven't already seen it, then I hope that it is of some interest. 

There is an example of the locomotive class (E-8) at the B&O Railroad Museum (#545).

D-56, prePRR class at Morris Park in 1923 on the LIRR.

Always wanted a model of this one.

Scotie

The last few.

Not much room left!

Now I know where they got the idea from in India. 

Spence.....is this Syracuse NY on the "Water Level Route"?
