Thanks guys!

I'll see what others I can dig up too. I can't believe I got unsubscribed from this thread somehow.

Todd,

I also love those pictures!! My dad was a railroader starting out with NYC then retiring from PennCentral in 1975 as a brakeman/conductor of freight trains. He would occasionally take me to the rail yards with him. Those were fun times! There was one trip he had on the RR he thought would only be a 2-3 hour run, but turned into an all nighter that he took me and my brother on. That was also fun to get to ride in the ..... oh what are they called? The rr's don't use them anymore.... oh yea a caboose! I sure miss seeing those at the end of a train. For a very short period of time before I was born he was a conductor on a passenger train with NYC, and I have his full uniform

Thanks Charles. Yeah, such an iconic part of trains and yet, within a few years nobody will know what they are or what they were for.

Terry and Todd, love those night shots, well done.

Another one...The engineer gave a friendly wave to me as he passed:

Very nice!

This is the 'Scarlet Lady' saloon car at Pioneertown, Ca. It was burnt out in a fire a few years ago and the shell is all that remains.
