Saturday morning, it's freezing, it's cold but the sun is shining brightly. Then I see a gate open and I ask if I can take pictures on the property. Loads of beautiful trucks, who cares about cold at such an opportunity.
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 :)

The birthplace of NASCAR
A lot was going on here....owners, drivers....fans....just zoomed in for this shot. Saw Mike Helton, Senior NASCAR Guru. Guess I should have photographed him..but fans were all posing for pictures,,,,and my mission was complete for Flickr Friday.
In 2014 the North Carolina Transportation Museum held their biggest party ever and in my humble opinion the single greatest railfan event I've ever attended before or since. Following up on their wildly successful heritage unit family portrait event for Norfolk Southern's 30th anniversary they planned something even bigger.
Gathering 26 surviving freight and passenger diesels from the classic first generation era, they all came together for three days of festivities centered around the old Southern Railway turntable such as this shot I already shared: flic.kr/p/2nD4WQL
In addition there were rides and locomotive parades and a seemingly infinite number of photo set ups both day and night. Here's one of the latter with a trio of visitors staged next to the former Southern Railway Barbers Junction Depot. Built in 1898 it sat at the diamond crossing of the SOU's east-west Asheville District S-Line with the north-south Danville District L-Line down from Winston-Salem. Located in the small town about a dozen miles east of Salisbury it was picked up and moved in one piece to the museum in 1980 and is gorgeously preserved and serves as a visitor center.
Posed beside it with a photo freight and having come all the way from their home at Steamtown National Historic Site are the Anthracite Railroad Historical Society's F3A and B and a matching F3A owned by the Tri-State Railway Historical Society. The A units were built for the Bangor and Aroostook in May 1948 as BAR 504A and 506A and the B is actually an F7 modified to look like and F3 and is of Boston and Maine heritage, having been built in Nov. 1950 as BM 4268B. All three are dressed I Lackawanna livery appropriate to the place they reside.
And if you want to learn more about this railfan event of the century in case you weren't there this gentleman has a fabulous overview on his site: www.wvncrails.org/streamliners-at-spencer.html

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.
