    Locomotive and possible location identification?

    Hi there, first time. I have this old sketch in my possession that I'm not entirely sure where it comes from. I can identify a Shay loco, clearly a 2-truck. Sketch seems to be of the crew posing next to the loco while pulling some logs up a grade. It's difficult to read in the photograph itself...

    Unknown railroad objects

    I found these two objects while metal detecting along and old railroad. One has the letters "N.Y.N.H & H.R.R" on one side and 116 or 911 (depending on how you look at it) on the other side. The letters stand for New York New Haven and Hartford railroad I'm assuming but I don't know what the...

    Old railcar/boxcar

    I was wondering if someone could give me their best guess on what railroad this came from and possibly an age. I have 2 on my property and I am not quite sure at this point what I am going to do with them. Thanks!

    Ye Olden Days

    This is from sometime around 1972, and it looks to be taken at Riverview of all places! I found it as part of an old club roster at school. This seems to be running with an SD40, GP9, SW1200, and GMD-1...Consists musn't have been very uniform back then!

    UP Local passing under the old Rock Island Bridge

    A "local" which runs from the UP in Dalhart down BNSF's Dalhart Sub to pick up/set out cars in the old RI yard here in Amarillo and return to Dalhart. I like UP's choice of power for this train. the old Rock Island Bridge is now used as a storage track for UP.

    Old Times

    They don't make them like they used to. This guy is probably on his last run, being on the 450 to Chicago. SD40-2Ws are a rarity, now. With the 2516, this looks like a consist right out of the 1990s.
