Here's another old steam era signal for you you Sandpatch. I took this 6 years ago in Kavanaugh KY. CSX coal train gliding downhill toward the Ohio River.

Very nice composition Chuck! Yep, I love the old signals. CSX has sure gotten good mileage out of those C&O cantilever bridges.

A couple more of the same train gliding downhill.

C&O cantilever bridges even appear in the heart of Dixie. I shot this one in Montgomery, AL in 1990.

Those look pristine. They remind me of something built with an Erector Set. Only a full sized version.

I posted these in the B&W forum & thought they'd work here too. I've been watching this old E8 deteriorate for 20 years or so.

Nice shots Chuck and kinda sad too. I was born too late to have seen a PRR or NYC train and been able to recall it, but I remember the PC and despite its crumbling financial state, had a fascination to me that remains today

I remember the New York Central as a boy. We vacationed near Vermilion Ohio & my dad used to walk with me to the NYC New York-Chicago line where we'd watch the trains highball through. If the day was cool we'd walk a couple more miles further to the NKP line. No pictures from that time, but fond memories & pictures in my mind. I didn't start chasing trains until the PC era started.

Here is one from 2010 in Tennessee Illinois. A grain train with vintage signals. I'm not sure, but I think this may be part of the old Rock Island line.

pasco, wa. The 2 engines would go into the yard and pull out some cars and pull them up a hump then release the cars one or two at a time to roll back into the yard.
