There is another way to do this which I have found handy. In a sense it is, "let someone else do it." Here is what I mean. (Note: I am not promoting any particular product or service, just relating what works for me.) As you can see, in my signature, I use an image posting service by...

Originally thought I would not be able to get there because I was working on a Special Olympics event. Luckily, we finished early and I was able to get to the DRM by mid-afternoon. I will have some pictures in a few days. It looked like a great day. The weather certainly cooperated...

Great shot, Brian. Even though, as you say, this board is largely for modelers, I hope that by our posting of prototype equipment, we are giving the modelers a view that might be just the detail they need to make a good layout even better. I enjoy seeing your pictures. Keep 'em coming.

Glad you are on the mend, Thor. No matter how much we complain about our own ailments, it is always encouraging to hear the good news. That is good medicine for all of us.

Boarding passengers in Washington, DC; here we have a contuctor (r) and a car host.

Another part of the job of running a railroad--guiding this Genesis in to gently couple with a train already loaded with passengers. This was in Union Station in Washington DC. The run from New York had been under the wire. From here to Charlotte, NC, the power is diesel.

No locomotive should be without one of these: The engineer, of course. Here, on board the Danbury Railway Museum's RS-1.

Switching is still done manually in many places. Here in a museum railyard... ...and even Amtrak must do so. Here an Amtrak conductor is throwing the switch that allows his train to enter the Birmingham, Alabama, station.

Maintaining equipment is a constant task. Here a repair is being made to a locomotive frame.

I am behind the camera. This is one picture from the project I was working on to create a slide show (using 70mm slides) of the Fair. The final edit, then, was 160 slides. I am now scanning and reediting them. So far, I have done almost 40. They can be seen in a special album at the...

This ride was part of the Long Island Railroad Pavillian at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair.

Williams, Arizona. The train is the Grand Canyon Railroad. On a track beyond that the UP "flys" by.

This is a one-of-a-kind item at the Danbury Railway Museum--GCT-1--a double-ended crane. It was built specially for use in the tunnels of Grand Central Terminal. The problem in photographing this crane was its length, which is 90 feet from the tip of one boom to the tip if the other...

You are right about the Cobalt station. The feature that I first noticed was the supports for the eaves. They are very similar to some I have seen here in New England. Here is a view of the platform canopies at the Danbury Railway Museum, which started out as the Danbury Union Station. You...

The GM&O station in Mobile, AL, was just starting to undergo a major restoraton project in April, 2002, when I took this picture.

I am not a mod on this forum, but I do have a suggestion and a possible explanation. Some of us have, in the past been forced to change photo hosting sites for various reasons. I had one site go out of business. When such a change happens, it takes some extra time and work to go back and...

This is the river to which I referred in my first post in this thread. It is part of what makes the GSMR ride so nice.

Here is a shot taken at the end of the day. The crew is taking a ride to the service area to get 777 ready for the next day's work.

They use steam during the summer for some of their rides. The ride we took was probably the last of their winter schedule. We were just lucky with the weather. On the way to North Carolina we went through a snow storm and on the way back it was raining. In between, it was mostly sunny and in...

In London, UK - the Kensington South Underground station. It is not too far undergroung. Those are skylights above the platform.
