Thanks. .

Don't get me going on graffiti, nothing but vandalism of other peoples property, you see rakes of brand new carriages completely covered in it over here.

Where do they get all of the spray paint??? This popped up last year (I think) and I'm pretty sure it's a legit picture of a U.P. diesel.

*Edit- I found a YouTube vid. Be careful where you park your train!

My, my, what a beautiful old beast. Is she a VR loco? What a great combination of power and engineering all in one package!

I have been looking at Australian railroad history, here are some pics I downloaded the other day.

Great pictures guys, I love that 4-8-4!

Yes, I sent you a shipment of Carl Rader knives back in August. You didn't get em?

Great pictures everybody!

A couple from Twitter. The Centipede is interesting, guess it was overpriced or underperformed, and the Aerotrain had comfortability issues.

Yes, she is a VR loco and could haul big loads comfortably at over 60MPH, not bad for the era. For a country our size we had a excellent and innovative manufacturing industry. Have a good weekend.

That Centipede looks nice! Never would have thought it was built so long ago.

Interesting stuff, John. I knew of the Aerotrain, but not the Centipede. I read where they were all scrapped (centipedes). There is an Aerotrain at the transportation museum in St Louis, along with 70 other locomotives. I am going there as soon as it warms up, I will post pics.

Cool, Ike, looking forward to seeing your pictures. I'm going to drag Brenda to the B&O Museum in Baltimore sometime soon. Both of our fathers hired out with the B&O in Cumberland, that's how we met as kids in the early 70s.

That is cool, meeting as kids through a common thread.

Only took us 50 years to figure it out, cudgee.
