Super cool shot, Kimmers. These are the engines of my boyhood. They were absolutely all over the place. I'm glad that they keep it good shape. Hope the other locomotives and rolling stock looked as good.

A bright & shiny engine there. I remember as a young boy watching Kit Carson on TV. But that must've been way before your time. (I'm a-talkin' about like two centuries ago.) Whoo-hoo! Wonderful engine!

Wow! Beautiful shot of this perfectly preserved relic of our history. I can just see Bogie or Dana Andrews lighting a cigarette in front of one of these. What a classic! It even says "Radio Equipped"! Coool!
