    Nice photo. This loco would be a museum piece today. I hope the rumors are correct, and it is surviving in Helena.

    Good capture. Do you use filters when shooting under artficial lights? The depot light looks good -- looks very white.

    The rain clouds under the arch add a lot to the pic.

    Never seen this angle used in a Lombard photo before. I like this one.

    As BNSFrailfan would say, that looks so real! (Friendly jab :))

    I wonder how many of these engines are equipped with dynamic breaking? I notice that the last two are not.

    Hey, neat. I also made a photo of the 1753 at Yardley four years after you did. There were a bunch of geeps in storage at that time, including, 1839, 1864, 1744, and others that I didn't photograph.

    Bruce: It's great you were able to make one last visit to see the CMStP&P right at the end. It's also generous of you to post your photos here. Thanks! I like your photo above because you got up close to this locomotive and captured all of its details. Too many photographers think...

    Thanks for posting. I visited the S&NC a few times but never was fortunate enough to catch it operating.

    Wow! Outstanding photo and write-up. You reminded me of the excitement I used to feel as a 16-year-old on the few occassions railroaders gave me access to interesting places.

    I was here a few years ago. Heard the locomotives of the east-bound coming from miles away. After it passed, heard the wheels of the cars for a long time as it wended its way up the gorge. Was a great audio experience.
