@americanrails @railnigel Been there in more recent times (namely the early noughties) when my dad and myself alighted there from Amtrak's 'Southwest Chief' whilst on our way to Chama, New Mexico for a ride on the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (mum picked us up from Lamy and drove us to Chama).
@americanrails It's crazy how much the area surrounding Union Station has changed since that picture was taken.
@americanrails Nothing but bangers the last few days. Keep it up!
@americanrails That's really cool. You often post photos of the biggest locomotives. And that's great. But I almost prefer to see the smaller ones that worked the branch lines.
@americanrails How about this, the other side the next day on Mineola:
@americanrails Yes, I was there too. I actually like my action shots better.
@americanrails @DSNGRR Still going strong. Taken October 2023
@americanrails I hooped up train orders to the 610 back in the early days of my career as a Southern Railway Operator.
@americanrails What always freaks me out about your railroad (railway) photos is the state of your track and track beds 😱 🇬🇧 Bit tidier over here! 😃
@americanrails Terrific photo. They sure have a lot of head-end cars on that train. I count at least 8. I hope that means they were making good money hauling express freight and mail.
@americanrails I sometimes share your posts at Gab (where I have a bigger account). I hope that's okay gab.com/Grumpy_Hoosier…
@americanrails We almost lost the South Shore Line in the late 1970s. I think they actually shut down twice, only to be brought back from the dead. Today the line seems to be thriving -- with a huge double-track project going on and a new line being built in western Lake County, Indiana.
@brucetroxell @americanrails They were way ahead of the curve....I rode in a restored car pulled by this one in 1984....it was beautiful and fast. I learned that day that the Golden age of trains was long ago.
@americanrails I’ve ridden the Coast Starlight; honestly didn’t know there used to be a Coast Daylight. Thanks for informing!
@americanrails I have a hand painter Norfolk & Western on my office wall! A beaut and a classic!
