Here's a few from my weekend trip to the B&O in Baltimore, MD...

probably my favorite engine in the place... and i rode in this engine before it was retired. They had a larger Shay before but Cass wanted it back... so they did a trade, they gave the museum a small shay and another engine so they could have the larger one.




one big ass engine... its surprisingly bigger and more powerful then the UP Bigboy, and its sporting a 2-6-6-6 wheel config.




and the apperantly found this old slug somewheres...








and the rest of these are HDR's...


























i know this thing looks like something to be used in Madmax but it was a clearance checker for tunnels...














an old local...

My son and I are planning a steam train chase across southern Wyoming April 12th. They haven't decided which steam engine is going on the trip yet. If all goes well I will post some pics afterwards. I am enjoying all the train pics posted here. Thanks so much everyone!
