This sign hung at the Harlan Hardware store in Harlan, KY for many years. This goes back to the days when funeral wakes here held at homes of the deceased, rather than a funeral home. By this time (1988), they were no longer handling embalming upstairs in the hardware and furniture store.

Loyall, KY, May 1965: When the L&N dieselized and steam was gone, I was devastated. It took some time, but I made peace with the diesel thanks to the company's 107 Alco RS-3s----certainly my favorite locomotive of all time. They weren't particularly attractive, but if anything, they were distinctive, and on the CV Division, they were ubiquitous. Their Alco 244 prime movers would do this "Diddy RUMP, Diddy RUMP, Diddy RUMP" cadence when they were idling---as number 124 is doing here under the sand tower at Loyall. And when they were all retired and scrapped by 1974, it left a void similar to that I felt when the last "Big Emma" left Loyall. I can still look at this photo I took 49 years ago and smell the diesel exhaust, the grease, and feel the warmth of the day. These days, I can't find much appeal to the big GE AC units that blast through on CSX coal trains. It just isn't the same.
L&N 152 is returning to the yard at Loyall, KY after a r/t excursion to Appalachia, VA in October 1986. The three SD50s are waiting to take the unit coal train (right) to Erwin, TN.

The L&N Historical Society held its annual convention at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum in 2009, and the events included a ride from the Chattanooga Choo-Choo to Grand Junction and return--behind steam! It rained intermittently on September 26th, but when it DID rain, it came down like a cow with four urethras relieving itself on a flat rock.
TVRM No. 610 was built by the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton company in Eddystone, Pa. in March 1952 for the US Army. It was the last commercially manufactured steam locomotive for domestic use built in the US. For most of its short career, the engine was used for training purposes at Fort Eustis, Va. With many steam locomotives still in use around the world, the military needed to maintain training programs to operate such locomotives in the event of overseas conflicts.
To maintain a low profile in deference to the small loading gauge (clearances) in other countries, the 610 was--well--as ugly as homemade sin. TVRM completely changed the appearance when they took possession in 1987, with a new cab, taller sand and steam domes, stack, and relocated bell and headlight. The 610 worked for TVRM between 1990 and 2010, when it was withdrawn from service to be rebuilt.
Consistent with my goal of "shooting full," I shrugged off the rain and did my best to get a full portfolio of images of this locomotive under steam.
August 13, 2014: Left to right at Loyall, KY: A just-arrived empty unit coal train from Erwin, TN; a loaded unit train ready to go south to Erwin; and a single unit moving back to the engine terminal. Note the two GEs are consecutively numbered.

I think there were 25 units at the N&W engine facility at Norton, VA on this particular day in the summer of '79. The SCL U25C was on loan to the L&N, which was still dealing with a severe motive power shortage. I see the old Armour Meat plant on the right. Today you won't find more than one or two units at Norton, if that many.
