Found a few more N&Ws, the first of the 4127 at Bristol, VA in April of '88 and the second of the 620 at the North Carolina Transportation Museum at Spencer, NC in August of '91. I don't think the 620 was ever painted in the N&W's maroon passenger color when in service, but the Museum thought...

On the way to my parent's home for Thanksgiving in 1989, I stopped at Toccoa, GA and found a nice N&W SD-40-2 in the sunlight. :)

Thank you Chuck. It seems the more slides I scan, the more I find. :eek: Perhaps by the end of July, I'll be done with the last of my roster and equipment shots. In addition, I just found a corrugated box full of yellow Kodak slide boxes in the closet, but I think these are "seconds" that I...

Another Alco, C-420 1369 in service on the L&N in Knoxville, TN. She's former SAL 129. [Kodachrome, Nikon EL-2, October 1979]

I was looking through my roster shots and discovered that the Family Lines once fielded an unheralded Bar Code Unit. [September 1984, Kodachrome, Nikon N2020] :D

Sometimes ya gotta take what you get and be happy with it. Case in point is this March 1997 shot at Topock, AZ where the Santa Fe mainline crosses the Colorado River into CA. After a long wait, we heard motors to the west and anticipated a nice shot of the mighty Santa Fe in action. Instead...

There are several Norfolk Southern locomotives I'd like to get a picture of and one is their 1111, aka "The Barcode Unit". :) I thought I might get it this morning, but this was all I could manage. Maybe next time …..

Further west is Kingman, AZ (You see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico, Flagstaff, Arizona, Don't forget Winona, Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino .....) where we find a westbound passing the station. [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020, March 1997]

February 1987, Melrose, NC, 35 Miles from Asheville. [Kodachrome, Nikon N2020]

As seen in the above slide, NKP 587 took its train west from Asheville to Bulls Gap, TN and return. Following it, the first slide below is south of Marshall, NC crossing the French Broad and the second shot is at Newport, TN crossing the Pigeon River.

From July 1989, NKP chuffs west from Asheville, NC during the National Railway Historical Society's annual meet.

Well said Chuck. I made two other trips to Lane, hoping to get shots of a train beneath the signal bridge on a sunny day. CSX failed to produce both times. Lane is a long way from home. I never returned for a third attempt and had to settle for a grubby shot taken on the same day I took the...

From December 1992 at Lane, SC on the former Atlantic Coast Line mainline, sentinels of railway safety protect the track ahead. This classic ACL signal bridge and its signals were recently removed with the coming of newer technology.

Witches hat turreted roof on former Seaboard railroad station at Hamlet, NC [Kodachrome, 1991, Nikon N2020 Body, Nikkor 50mm Lens]

North Carolina Transportation Museum shot of a track lining done the old skool way by the Buckingham Lining Gang. The Foreman would call out rhythmic chants in song and the cadence of his voice would set all of the men moving their lining bars in unison, combining their strength to move the...
