Waiting for the crew.

Great pictures everyone.

Charlie I really like that picture of the sharks. They sure do look really sharp.

I find it really neat how you can remove the color and suddenly a model looks almost life like.

Yeah, you're right, although if you do the same thing to a real, live person, it has the opposite effect.

Here is one from the other side of the tracks, looking east at Summit Cut. (before the rte 60 bridge Wayne and Ed)

Charlie---I love those old photos Here's some shots taken in the same location during our summer trip

Hello Everyone---one of the things I really like about black and white pictures is that it is difficult to tell when the photo was actually taken.Here's a shot of CNR Mike #3254---any ideas when this shot was taken ???

Let me guess, June, 2009 at Steamtown.

N&W 1770 at Conneaut, Ohio Oct, 1979

I was going to guess something similar but only because of the modern looking boxcars in the right side of the picture with graffitti on them. Then again, I'm no boxcar buff so who knows!

Right on Charlie---I should have known better than to try and fool such a knowledgeable group of train buffs .Now that we know the shots were taken at Steamtown this past summer,here's a few more shots of #3254---the last shot is an old photo of some railfans back in the good old days

Hello Everyone---here's an undated picture of CNR Mike #3254 on a caboose hop at Airline Junction on Doctor Wayne's EG&E.Let's hope that employee from Creechan's Fine Fuels in the background is on his lunch break and not killing company time watching all the train action :hey:

Great picture Ed, but I wouldn't worry too much about Creechan's employee. He hasn't hit a lick in a year, just keeps watching the trains.

Yeah, I think that he may be related to this guy:


He's been standing there forever, trying to get into his car. As a matter of fact, I've changed the car several times, and he never even blinked an eye.
( Sorry for the coloured picture in this thread, but he'd likely disappear into the background in b&w.)
