Right then, I'll get this started. Here are 4 pics that i took in North Wales, UK, along the Ffestiniog Railway.

Talesin just outside "Tan Y Bwlch" - Despite the dull weather the windows were surprisingly clean - hence the relection.

TTC #327
Although #327 is a replica (which itself dates from 1934), it apparently runs on the original #327 truck, which dates from 1892!

Here's a few shots that I took on some of my trips up to northern Arizona:[attachment=2002][attachment=2001][attachment=2000][attachment=1999][attachment=1998]
First photo is from an October 07 excursion between Kamloops, BC, and Armstrong. It was a beautiful fall day, and the equally elegant ex-CN 2-8-0 #2141 pulled us very well out and back. She had to pull tender first on the return trip, and hit a farmer's 5-ton gravel truck pulling a large hay wagon with large round bales. Very little damage to either vehicle because the 70+ year-old hogger was right on the ball. I sent him my compliments via the excursion office, and he ended up calling me. We chatted for half an hour.

Second image is of the cross-over at Cisco, BC, where the CN and CP swap sides of the Fraser River Canyon.

Thirdly, in March of this year, we chased this train (not purposefully, the two routes run the Fraser Canyon, so neither of us had a choice). Here it is rounding a bend about 10 km east of Lytton, still in the South Thompson.

We stopped at Lytton and I dashed on down the embankment to photograph this newly decked bridge. CN had a nasty derailment on the far side in 2007, and I guess they decided to re-engineer it all.

And lastly, on May 03 of this year, I finally got a ride pulled by the wonderful Royal Hudson. Ain't she a beauty!?

Well here is my entry for this contest.

This is the first public running of Prairie Dog Central #3 in almost a decade after a complete rebuild.

We start things off around 9am sunday morning on May 10th with the crew letting off a little steam.

Then the crew let off a little more steam for a few of us that showed up early to take pictures before the crowds showed up

Just north of Inkster Junction PDC #3 builds up some speed after departing the depot

And finally at the end of the line the engineer takes a well deserved break while the guests take a peek inside the engine.

I think they have done a marvelous job with the restoration, they just need to paint the other side of the tender Icon_lol

The Rariton Railroad at Northlandz NJ.
ATSF 3751 crests Miramar Hill in San Diego, June 1st 2008.
Mikey, I bet that train is real popular around the Christmas season!
Josh, I love your camera chosen camera angle as it almost totally blockes out that silly diesel helper behind 3751!
