cold-looking steamer pics

man, that looks good. the only thing i wish was there was the massive plume of smoke and steam from the stack, starting black and going to grey/white, and the steam blasting from every pore as it condenses in the cold air.

but on another note, i need to go crawl into that cab and warm up, I'm cold too!:D

A couple shots from my upcoming Reading & Northern 2012 route.


Light trackwork on the M&S Branch while a local rolls down the "mainline".


NHRS special rolls by Ametech.


Southbound NS at Packerton Yard.


Holding at East Mahanoy Junction.


Tamaqua.


Kids playing soccer, oblivious to the significance of their proximity to one of the first rail lines ever laid in the United States,
with construction starting in 1830 (and also the first line to ever be double tracked roughly 15 years later). Forsaken by Conrail
in the 1980's, the line was reborn as the mainline of the Reading & Northern. 181 years later, the coal still rolls :).

One of the Valley Railroad's employee's just arrives back at his track side home to find 0900 in Goodspeed while running around the dinner train.

The crew gathers to begin in the rebuilding of 3025 and get her ready to be dragged into the shop at a later date.

Very nice photos! Mind me if I ask, where did you seem to get the NS SD80MAC? I know the Conrail SD80MAC is one of RRMODS, but the NS one looks brilliant! Is it one of your own skins? If so, are you going to upload it?
