Post your Train shots!

The BR&W's depot at Ringoes, NJ is former PRR. The railroad's shops are also located here.



2-8-0 No. 60 was hiding in the Ringoes enginehouse. She's fully operable and is ready to go for the summer season.

Hope you get some nice photos of her running this summer.

There are now two complete trains at the facility.

We were in Lantana again today and Chris saw the Brightline go by.

I enjoy anything from the Rio Grande. My grandfather worked for them in the Salt Lake City locomotive shop on the old steamers.

Need to call in sick. So I can get there during the week.

New Jersey's Black River & Western Railroad started the 2017 steam season on Sunday with their lovely coal burning 2-8-0 No. 60 on an Easter special. She was built by ALCO in August of 1937 for Colorado's Great Western, a sugar hauler. She's served on the BR&W's roster for over 45 Years! I wasn't able to be there for the occasion, but my friend sent me this photo and gave me permission to post it.

Thanks for sharing Sandpatch. What a handsome engine. :encouragement:

When I was a teen, I was treated to a number of cab rides in No. 60. My Aunt and Uncle, and the Engineer were next door neighbors!

 

[crashton]

Wow that's a great experience & memory to have. :encouragement:

Tried a b&w featuring Miss Liberty on a passenger coach. Fittingly, I think the CNJ adopted her for their logo during WW-II.

 

[crashton]

Very nice Sandpatch. I think B&W works very well for her.

When I traveled north recently, I visited a small railroad museum. A nearby event had the place quite crowded.

I was enjoying the exhibits, when much to my surprise I looked up and saw a photo that I had taken 40 Years ago! It wasn't particularly noteworthy when I took it and it isn't a million-dollar shot, but I unwittingly captured a lost moment in time that is of interest today. It must have made its way to the museum via an older and late friend who was generous with his time when I was young. I had sent him some of my enlargements as a thank you gift and he must have passed them on to the Curator decades ago.

So, pretty neat. My name isn't on the photo and it's okay. Perhaps someday if I return, I'll mention it to a staff member.

I guess the lesson is that common, non-artistic shots can be of surprising historical interest. I have a few pictures of railroad trestles posted in a local office that were of great interest to a group that offers walking tours to visitors. The trestles are long gone and it seems nobody ever took a picture of them except me.

You should have taken a photo of your photo.

Arrgh! What a GREAT idea!! Of course, I didn't think of that .....

That's Fantastic! We know now, others will appreciate them, they are now known.
