Not a RR nutcase (yet) but went for the glam in the "iron horse" era in this one. My retired BNSF engineer friend said he could give me a dissertation on LIMA. C&Cs always welcome and encouraged. Shot at the very impressive roundhouse/RR museum near Sacramento, CA.

That pressure vesssel seems to have a crack in it. Thanks for the first shot. Now, become a nut and give us a few more.

Well it's a start....here's the deal beyond the makers plate. On second view, waited for a train to come down this big curve in Canada ....didn't happen. Woulda been a good one. Real train folk know schedules. Thanks for the kind words. Will work on my RR stuff.

Thats one of the most popular spots in Canada (Morant's curve) to take train pictures, and that's one of the best examples of it. In both sharpness and contrast.

Thanks for the kind words and insight. Dumb luck for us to stumble upon site on a picture perfect day. Not hard to see why it is a favorite. I'll be watching for Morant's curve on the train calenders from now on. We shall return!
