Nice shots gents, she is coming along nicely trainboi1 and it is always nice to see the K&L steamers especially the Penny's ones!
 
Don't we all, Bob? :p I mean, I've not bought any of their payware locos(yet) but their videos and screenies are just stunning! And Steve Lerro is a great guy, I haven't been in direct contact with Bill Klene but Lerro is easy to talk to, and heck, he got the V&T to do a photo freight in the snow, which was EPIC! Not to mention a ton of other roads, but the V&T's my "home line" at only 45 minutes away, so it's more important to me.
 
I love the Holidays...

1225 is decorated with wreaths and lights for the annual "Santa Claus" train.
(Meanwhile it's June)

I would really like to see one of his photo charters on the Sierra (thats my home line) I think that would be pretty interesting to see.
 
Nice pics, Sean. Green cab seems unlikely but I can't refute the photo in your sig. XD
Some more from the Merced area:

#23 leaves to take the 5:55 to El Portal.

Having picked up passengers from the Merced SP and YV stations, #23 leaves the YVRR at 6:00(I said 5:55 because that's when she left the SP station)

At Edendale, ready for the hard sprint to Hopeton(the schedule is very tight between Merced and Snelling)

Running past MP13, we are getting up near 60mph - Lucky for me, it'll mean I can get into Hopeton on time.

Arriving in Hopeton, the lighting was just right. And dang, you can see every contour line on her...

Yeah yeah, so I tended to take pics while she was stopped. Mainly because I was too busy handling the train other times. XD Just thought y'all might want to see the time of day when these things actually ran.
