I came across this photo of the Super Chief being refueled in Albuquerque and thought it was interesting.

I love that refueling method. Nowadays it is the method of choice for alot of shortlines. Just replace the tanker car with a tanker truck.

Thanks for sharing George. That is awesome.
 
In the still great days of passenger trains in the US. Great picture but a tinge of sadness in a way?

The California State Railroad Museum fuels up they're oil burning engine, Granite Rock Number 10, using a tank car. I know of a picture that LGBMATT took of the fueling process.
