Description
Or, at least I think they're electric, or even locomotives. I would be shocked if they weren't. Definitely real old timers.
Captured back on 5/13/06, at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California.
Big apologies for screwing up this sequence of fotos. Pictures 1 and 4 are of the same engine, #2 and 3 are the same engine. I was too apathetic and lazy to correct it.
At the risk of repeating myself, these are low resolution fotos, so don't bother to zoom, taken before I knew what I was doing in the realm of digital cameras, and seven days before joining the Renderosity photographic site.
The Railway Museum is an 80-acre site featuring 200 steam, diesel and electric locomotives as well as passenger and freight cars, streetcars, and other railway equipment. Rail transportation in the West from the late 1870s through the 1960s is on display.
Pozegnanie, thankx for stopping by, and for any and all favs and noncritical comments.

Fascinating look at these old-time locomotives. Love those bells on top for warning.

I found them Harry! :) Pictures 1 and 4 depict an engine belonging to Yakima Valley Transportation. It is YVT Co, #297. An electric locomotive built in 1923 by Baldwin Westinghouse. Pictures 2 and 3 depict Pacific Electric locomotive #1624 built in 1925 for the Pacific Electric Railway. Cool collage of these two old birds.

Many thanks Bill/bmac62, for taking the time and making the effort to identify these locomotives.

As far as I know they're trains, and that's all that matters! I love trains, especially traveling on them, much much better than hurling my body up into the air surrounded by mass quantities of heavy easily-crushed metal. Much better to be squished in metal on the ground, LOL! Can't help it, I'm an earth sign, and I'm just not comfortable off the ground, but I'm digressing. Considering your early place in the history of digital capture, these are excellent Harry. I know you'd do them even better now given the chance. And I like your railway museum tons better than what we have up here!

They are old time workhorses Harry. They were the tugboats of the rail yards. Repetitive photos are not bad in a collage especially when they are different POVs like these.
