Streamliners of the diesel and steam variety rest side-by-side at the B&O Railroad Museum. While steam locomotive C&O 490 was technically built before the diesel, it wasn't streamlined until 1947 when it was also extensively rebuilt. The EMC EA (B&O 51) was built 10 years prior in 1937. The EA sparkles as it was recently restored to its as-delivered appearance.
Inspired by the Streamliners event held in Spencer, NC back in 2014, four years ago a similar event, Streamliners 2016, was held in Goulburn, New South Wales on the 2/3 October.
Just a small part of the line up included ex NSWGR DL500Bs 4477/4490 and two former Victorian Railway EMD products.
4490 remains in heritage use, 4477 and B65 are in long term storage, and S302 is in regular use hauling broad gauge grain trains in Victoria.

i could have photo-shopped it....but this is unedited...hand held....this spot under the lights is my favourite part of GNRS.
I know weather's gonna be fine
But I can't see you 'cross the streamline
My love waits for me in daytime
But I can't see you through the snowblind

That, blasting out of my windows at high volume while the train was going by.
I posted a scan of this several months ago, but made a print of it recently and was really happy with how it turned out. I brought the print to Florida with me and will be framing it and putting it on the wall here, an hour north of the hotel.

Wyoming & Colorado Railroad FP7s 1512 and 1510 throttle up about three miles west of Laramie, Wyoming on UP's Coalmont Branch. When this excursion train reaches the small town of Walden, Colorado, it will reverse direction and return to Laramie.
After crossing 4MP5 at Bolivar, loaded Aurizon grain service 4152S from Bowmans to Pelican Point skirts past the Dry Creek North yard with CLF6/CM3308/CM3309 on Thursday the 22nd of December 2022.
The two CM's are on lease to Aurizon from operator Rail First Asset Management (Formerly CFCLA) to assist with local duties in Broken Hill on behalf of the Tronox Mineral Sands contract, but were sent to Adelaide in November to assist on local and grain duties whilst the Sands train and it's associated shuttle trips to Ivanhoe are on hiatus. The CM's will be relocated to Western Australia in the coming weeks for work in that region.

Rounding off Saturday night was a fireworks display, with the Streamliners 42105,4201,4204,S311,GM10,GM19,S303 on display at the Goulburn Streamliners event on 1-10-22
Streamliner 3801 goes for a spin on the turntable at Goulburn roundhouse, after working a crew training run from Thirlmere.
"Streamliners At Spencer" was a special event held by the North Carolina Transportation Museum at its facility in Spencer during one extended weekend from late May through early June of 2014 which showcased 26 examples of historic, streamlined diesels and one classic steam locomotive.
The rarest example present was ALCO PA4 190 in Nickel Plate paint. It was the star of the show.

During the Streamliners at Spencer foam event in 2014, Nickel Plate Road PA 190 was parked at the station for a night photo shoot.
The Streamliner event was a fantastic four day event and lots of digitalia was put on memory cards.
It most likely was an event never to be duplicated.
Returning from Bathurst, GM10 and B61 make their way through the Sodwalls curves with 8L04 to Sydney, the return of the Central West Streamliner tour operated by SSR and LVR.

Perspective on the façade of the wonderful Florin Court - a residential building on the eastern side of Charterhouse Square in Smithfield, London, UK.
The building is an example of 'streamline moderne', an international style of Art Deco architecture and design that emerged in the 1930s.
It was built in 1936 by Guy Morgan and Partners and features a beautiful, curved façade with projecting wings, a roof garden, setbacks on the eighth and ninth floor and a basement swimming pool.
Being fans of Agatha Christie and actor David Suchet, we visited because in the LWT television series 'Agatha Christie's Poirot', the building was used as Whitehaven Mansions, the fictional London residence of private detective Hercule Poirot.

Pennsy Baldwin "Shark" 9578 at Sang Hollow PA, 5-49. Dupe slide in my collection by Blackhawk.
I've always wanted to see a Baldwin shark nose; a pair survive today, hidden away in Michigan. Hopefully they'll end up at a museum where we can all enjoy them.

Brill Bullet car 206 is seen on display outside the Electric City Trolley Museum, sporting fresh new Philadelphia Suburban Transportation Co. paint.
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. So here is yet another angle from this truly once in a lifetime event!
From right to left we see:
Norfolk Southern F9A 4271, at the time it was part of the four unit OCS power but was sold off five years later. Built as an F7A in Aug. 1952 it was delivered as Baltimore and Ohio 947. Today this locomotive wears a bright pink livery and belongs to the Aberdeen, Carolina and Western and is a sister to the RBMN 270 I photographed recently.
To her right all the way from Cheyenne, WY is Union Pacific 951 an E9A built new for the road in Jun. 1955. Heavily rebuilt in 1993 at Paducah she lost her twin 567 engines in favor of a 645 and is essentially a GP38-2 internally now.
Next up traveling from Port Jervis, NY was Erie E8A 833 at the time owned by the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway. Built by EMD in Mar. 1951 she would pass to E-L and then CR where she gained fame as CR 4022 dressed in Conrail blue and then later Pullman green as one of three special units retained to lead big blue's OCS train.
Lastly is North Carolina Transportation Museum's resident E8A SOU 6999 in full Southern Railway dress. Built for the road in Sep. 1951 as number 2923 she was part of the fleet that led the Southern Crescent until 1979 while the SOU initially stayed out of Amtrak. Once they finally called it quits this unit was donated to the young museum in 1980 and has been maintained operational on her old home rails ever since.

What a regal sight on a Saturday in the spring! Deadheading to Meridian for an inspection run on the following Monday, the KCS F-units and office cars are zipping right along thru the Louisiana Tech campus in Ruston.
Living 3.5 hours away from KCS rails, with the merger news I had resigned myself to never having the chance to lens their business train. However, thanks to a little birdie did have some advance knowledge that this deadhead move would be happening. Now it running at practically the perfect time of the morning, that was a nice surprise.
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 in exceptionally well executed ballet of railroading.
Bringing classic EMD and Alcos from as far away Waterville, Cheyenne, and Seattle to North Carolina through the cooperation of Amtrak and multiple Class 1s was a feat unlikely to be repeated anytime soon. And though the event took place on the museum grounds located at the former Southern Railway Spencer Shop complex there was a particularly cool offline event. Two special excursions were run, one each on Friday and Saturday, from Charlotte to the museum and the trips included a three hour stay at the event. One of Bennett Levin's two attending Pennsylvania Railroad E units powered a three car train of his private cars unassisted by NS or Amtrak units. This was in the pre-PTC era making such a trip impossible today.
Here is the Saturday edition seen having just departed the museum as it starts on its 50 mile sprint down the old Southern Railway mainline back to Charlotte. Leading the train operated as Amtrak 010 is EMD E8A JTCX 5809 (blt. Jan. 1951 for the PRR and later serving the PC, Amtrak and CR where at the latter it was numbered 4020 as part of their Pullman green OCS fleet). The little streamliner is on Main 2 of modern day NS' Danville District at about MP 333 approaching the 11th street crossing as it passes some local power tied down at the south end of the old Spencer Yard.

Alittle too defensive a style for my liking, but I was having a hard time getting a good shot with the lighting as it was
