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.

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 :)

My newest toy is this over 40 year old lens and I'm amazed about its sharpnes.
In 1953, the CPR placed an order for 155 stainless steel cars with the Budd Company for their new flagship train, The Canadian. The train operated under the CP for 23 years before being absorbed into the new government created VIA Rail system. The Canadian now had become VIA's flagship service, running between Toronto Union Station and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver. For over 70 years now the Canadian has been roaming the rails of Canada, bringing passengers across the entire country still serving the same stainless steel equipment since it's inception. The train boasts the title as the longest train ride in North America and is an iconic part of Canadian culture, even being featured in the country's $10 bill. Highlighted by the partial sunlight deep in Canada's Fraser River Canyon, VIA Rail's Canadian makes another run West, crossing over Anderson Creek near Boston Bar British Columbia.

Mr. Harrop was a big fan of EMD F-units, and made an effort to catch the Rio Grande Zephyr during the last few weeks of operation. He captured this fine view of train No. 18 at old Colton, a location where two main tracks ended, and a single track began between Colton at east Soldier Summit. Mid-week trains often had just two F-units.
At the time, Rio Grande was experiencing a boom in export coal, and was actively reinstalling the second main track that was removed as a cost cutting measure in 1961.
