[QUOTE="skater, post: 405255, member: 19158"] So, somehow I've never posted any of my shots in this thread, despite loving trains and reading Trains and Model Railroader religiously every month. For my first shot here, I'll post something very sad: [IMG]http://rjmarq.org//photo_album/trains/BORail_20120909/box3roll83_113.jpg[/IMG] GG-1 #4876. The B&O Railroad Museum has it, but it's in pretty rough shape as you can see. It has nothing to do with their mission; they only have it because they're the closest rail museum to DC, and this was the engine that crashed through DC's Union Station's wall, only to be cut up, reassembled, and put back into service. They should hold a going-away ceremony for it, then get it scrapped. It's just rusting away where it is. :( And, as the guide at the museum pointed out, there are far better-preserved examples floating around. I have pictures of some of them, in fact. My next pictures should be happier...they pretty much have to be. :) [/QUOTE]
