Your train photos are great. I used to live beside the track and saw the transition from steam to diesel, much to my disgust. When are you going to start on it? We need a pressure welder and good machinist too. Maybe we should get this guy on board too.

If I was any good at drawing cartoons, I would do one of you on a 3 wheeler with a boiler spewing black smoke and ash. But I guess my imagination will have to suffice.

That is awesome, I can't believe I haven't seen that picture before!

Ya I love trains, I have a lot more pics than that I took 140...details:)

I have always dreamed of a steam powered motorbike, there are I think 3 running steam cars left here in Finland, I have seen them at the car shows...awesome machines!

I used to ride the train from nyc to florida a lot! I used to ride for free so it was a wonderful way to go if I had the time. You meet the wackiest people on the train!

The first train ride I remember was a steamer in the dead of winter, colder than heck. The train consisted of the engine, tender, 1 passenger car, baggage (and mail) car and caboose. Wasn't a long distance, about 60 miles. There was a pot bellied wood/coal heater at one end of the car. It was glowing red hot. You toasted on one side and froze on the other. I must have been about age 4. I remember the toilet was open to the track, so you could see the ties whizing by below. Pretty cold seat, worse than an outhouse.

During the summer, the engineers used to stop the train during luch hour, get out and eat their lunch along with anyone else that wanted to stretch their legs. The engineers would shoot gophers for a little target practice. No one worried about thw schedule on this lonely side track.

In the 1920s my grandfather road the rails (free unless you were caught, then a few days in jail) looking for work across Canada and norther US.

That would have been the days!

My uncle worked for Amtrak for 30 years and I used to ride the "orange blossom special" and get off in orlando or take another train to Tampa. He died a few years ago, but some of the old timers still remember me, all I have to do is show up at Penn station and find some older guys and hop on board, they always hook me up with a bunk and at the end of the trip I throw them some cash for the hook ups! Great folks!

Now you got me itching...hmmm, the Moscow Night train is pretty cheap from Helsinki...my wife has taken it a few times. Quite the adventure! St. Petersberg is only like 5 hrs, and 75€ each way:) 11 hrs to Moscow:)

On another note!

There is supposed to be Aurora tonight you should see it there in the great white north!

They said we might see it down in my area last night, but I guess I was just a little too far south.

I hit it pretty hard again tonight for 4 hrs straight...I managed to get the red all done, and the outlines on the D done, but I think it is quitting time! After all it is 4:30am:)
