Can you not see the picture in the original post?
If you can see it, would you please delete your repost of it? I would prefer my photos not be hosted on the forum server.
Okay, well maybe hundreds.
We used to do a weekly one then it became a monthly one.
Maybe we should put 2022 and 2023 on the titles?
One of my absolutely favorite electric locomotives and the very one responsible for my crazy affair with American electric locomotives. Several years ago this "800 class" (that's what they were reffered to on South Shore Line) was on display in Baltimore rail museum. On a junior high school trip back in 1989 i purchased a postcard with several units visible on the museum grounds, this orange giant was among the locomotives visible. One day it hit me how attractive that locomotive was and i made a drawing of it from what i could see. Few months later and looking through books and magazines available i had 3 or 4 pages of various electric locomotives drawn as side elevations and my research continued for many years on a rare american animals called "electric locomotives". This particular unit is actually one of the very last electric locomotives in common carrier service in North America. It was retired in 1983 and is now on display in Northeast, Pennsylvania, not far from where it was built back in 1948.
5 of its brothers ended up all the way in Brasil, where they were serving untill 1999. 12 more represent probably most legendary status as "Little Joes" on Milwaukee Road.
This one and numbers 800 and 801 were running around south side of Chicago and all the way to South Bend, Indiana i freight service.

Took a trip last friday to Baltimore, MD to look for HHP8 electrics. Unfortunatelly one present at the station was parked with its train beyond the station platforms with taking a picture an impossible task. But near one of the bridges was this:

I guess you need a new one sooner or later or you’ll be wading thru thousands of pages?

Probably would be a good idea, otherwise the older ones will be lost in the deep well that's the internet.I guess you need a new one sooner or later or you’ll be wading thru thousands of pages?

Snapped a couple shots of my HO steam loco on my layout:
This is my Varney "Casey Jones" purchased as a junk loco on ebay, I did not spend a penny on it except decals. Took a paint job and going over lubricating it a few times, it has really smoothed out and does well.
This HO model was manufactured about 1958, the year I was born. It is a very similar design to the NP 328 which is an S-10 Alco Rogers manufactured in 1910

There's another one in Milwaukee colors in Deer Lodge, Montana. They were originally built in 5 foot gauge for export to Joseph Stalin's Russia. When it became apparent he wasn't someone the United States wanted to be friends with, they were put up for sale domestically. The Milwaukee bought some and the South Shore bought the rest. Because of their intended destination, they were known as Little Joes on the Milwaukee.

Here is the front of former Amtrak F40PH 250, now a "cabbage" (cab/baggage) car on the southbound 517. It's nose, despite being bashed in by a run in with a tree a few weeks ago, still appears to be photoworthy, if actions of the photographers in attendance are any indication. The photo is from May 20 at the Virtual Railfan Chehalis meetup.

It was May 21 when this shot was taken. Seemingly standard DASH9, but look at the pole next to the train:
This is the eastern end of Enola Yard in Pennsylvania across the river from Harrisburg. It was one of few places where railroad employed creoste covered catenary poles instead of standard steel "H" columns.
Route US11/15 runs on the newly built bridge behind and at one time "Day" tower occupied the small space on the other side of earlier bridge. There used to be four tracks running here, but we are down to two and you can see the wooden pole burried in the foliage on the other side. It's very rare occurence for me at least to catch a freight in this spot and really all along the former "Low Grade Line" running east from Harrisburg, as most of the traffic here runs at night.

I put some sodium vapor lights in my coal loadout. Well actually, they are LEDs with gels. When I built the loadout, I only had gondola type coal cars and could put a magnet on the bottom of each car to trigger the gate to open and shut to load the cars. Then I got some hopper cars and there wasn't a place for a magnet but it was dark in there and I couldn't see to manually open and shut the gate. Now I just need to practice my timing so I don't make a mess.
