So was the Burl Sd34 SD24[Typo]their latest completed project? The paint looks sharp and splendid!

Thanks for the pictures.  I've been away from the old chooch farm too long.

Sorry, no such thing as an Sd34".  Try SD24!

Thanks for posting!

Your welcome...

WHAT! No pictures of the N&W Y3a?

Chris, Any photos of the Santa Fe 2900 series Northern?

Very nice pictures, Chris!

The Y3a and the ATSF Northern are both tucked away in Barn 9 and are difficult to get a good shot of, given the low lighting, tight clearances and the size of these beasts. There are pictures of them on the museum's website, however:http://www.irm.org/cgi-bin/rsearch.cgi?steam=Atchison+Topeka+&+Santa+Fe+Railroad=2903;http://www.irm.org/cgi-bin/rsearch.cgi?steam=Norfolk+&+Western=2050

John you are not kidding they are buried.  The only ones I managed are these...A portion of the tender...

And this nose shot of the Y3.

At least they are not out in the open.

Here are a couple of pictures off the internet; the photographers' names are on the photos:

Wow nice...that Northern sure wasn't that open when I was there.....

CWEX, 

thank you for sharing the cb&q photos I grew up in the twin cites so until we moved in 1963 I saw the diesel switchers  daily at st.paul yard and pigs eye  freight yards were 6 blocks away from my parents home.

growing up in the fifties was a good time rail police left you alone as long as not getting in way of railroad operations ahhhh memories  thank you,

p.s. would you mind if I copied the diesel photos for my own viewing?

Notice the tender is still in it's "switcher" configuration from Eagle Pitcher.
