MÁV Class 242 was a 4-4-4T steam locomotive of Hungarian State Railways. A small class of only four examples, they were built between 1936 and 1939 and only this one is left. They were highly unusual in that they were both streamlined, as was the fashion of that period for fast express service, but they were also tank locomotives. - Hungarian speed record in 1961 with 161 km/h. Seen in the steam workshop Budapest.
As the night rolls on, so does Southern Shorthaul Railroad’s Westons tip duties. Usually done with SSR101 & SSR102, CLF1 (Formerly CL2) replaced SSR102 while it was at Cardiff for some TLC. Here we see CLF1 & SSR101 nearing the completion of the tip. (2 hours left of the 2 day tip cycle). Thursday, 28th October 2021.

The future was retro
The Saturn streamliner is a passenger train operating on a suspension railway during an alternate retro-futuristic timeline. The name “Saturn” was chosen based on the distinctive ring shape of the support pylons, which are made using Technic curved gear racks that mimic the look of cast iron and are strong enough to hold the weight of the train. The locomotive and passenger car can slide freely on the rail. A single minifig walks across the Art Deco display stand to provide a sense of scale and setting with his sensibly styled suit.
Union Pacific E9 No. 951 leads an Operation Lifesaver train departing Provo for Salt Lake City on May 4, 1995. The 10-car train spent the day with law enforcement and local officials on board, promoting safety along UP tracks and grade crossings between Springville and Mona, Utah.
Bonus points: this was the upload that made me realize keywords in capture one become tags in Flickr - Yay!
After the Rio Grande Zephyr made its final run between Grand Junction and Denver, Colorado on April 24, 1983, the equipment became surplus. Immediately.
D&RGW's trio of F9s were laid off, but not for long. Rio Grande assigned them to work ballast trains in both Utah and Colorado.
While the assignment was a bit of a let down for the glamour girls, the photo opportunities were priceless. Witness 5771 leading Midvale smelter slag train No. 648, ascending the Mapleton Bench between Springville and Sutro, Utah on July 20, 1983.
Streamlined: having a form that presents very little resistance to a flow of air
Result: Speed
Measured at: 389 km/h (242 mph) - In a dive
Meaning: Your looking at the fastest animal on the planet
Impressed? If you're not... check for a pulse!
This was taken at the Klairmont Kollections Museum in Chicago. I changed the background to a solid color, as the original was distracting.
Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

A4 60009 ‘Union of South Africa’ adds to the atmosphere inside Bury’s Baron Street shed on Saturday afternoon...
The full Pacific Limited Group excursion to Bend, Oregon highballs Oregon’s Memaloose State Park in the Columbia River Gorge. This impressive Union Pacific streamliner had seven domes and 19 cars, including two from the recently acquired Chicago & North Western.
A review of some Official Guides revealed that UP never had a scheduled streamlined train that went east from Portland in the morning. In 1950, for example, the hallowed City of Portland streamliner departed the Rose City at 5:30pm eastbound, with the Portland Rose following later in the evening. If you wanted to see the Columbia River Gorge in the daytime from the Oregon side, UP train 12, the Idahoan, was for you. It had an 8:10am departure, but it was definitely not a streamliner. The train's listing in the Official Guide revealed a mix of standard heavyweights and streamlined cars. Five years later, UP 12 was a nameless mail train with only a rider coach for passengers.
Just before Amtrak, the Portland Rose schedule changed to a morning departure out of Portland. During this same time period, the City of Portland departed eastward at 2:45pm. However, by 1970, the "streamliner" UP called the Portland Rose consisted of two coaches and a cafe-lounge car, pulled by a lone E unit. That model railroad-sized train had nothing on the monster we saw here between Hood River and The Dalles.
If only there were a train across the river on BNSF. Well, the streamliner was making a return trip the following day...
