The weather was pretty gloomy for the first day of Streamliners 2016 at Goulburn - the weather perked up for the rest of the weekend, but I don't know why I didn't go back to this vantage point for another shot. Too busy gas-bagging probably.

Adirondack Scenic Railroad EMD F10 1502, Alco RS18 1835 and EMD F7 1508, head the morning train from Utica to Big Moose across Mapledale Road near Barneveld NY on 5 October 2017.
Lead loco 1502 was built in 1947 for the Gulf Mobile and Ohio Railroad as F3 884A, and later went on to become MNCR 412 and MBTA 1151.

Chicago Burlington and Quincy EMD E5 9911A and Atlantic Coast Line E3/E6 501 were looking fantastic at Spencer Shops during the fantasticaler Streamliner event.
It was a great weekend in Carolina amongst some tasty BBQ and beer.
4204 & 42101 are spotted out in the warm October sunshine during a quiet moment at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW.
If you're a follower of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum on Facebook or YouTube, you might've seen on April 17, 2020 they did a virtual tour of the Soo Line 2500.
The museum graciously asked and included video clips of mine to include in the video.
But I figured, might as well post a photo to match the video.
So here's Soo 2500 and Erie Mining 4211 at Lakeside returning to Duluth from Two Harbors on July 12, 2014.
The two were paired for a special "Streamliner" special and I made a day trip specifically for this run. Unfortunately I missed the sequel run a couple years ago, but here's hoping for another chance in the future. Those F units a thing of beauty.
8878 Hopper Transfer from Port Augusta to Lithgow was operated by SSR Streamliners B61 S317 GM27 GM10 and S302, ahead of 96 empty coal hoppers.
Starting at Blayney, this series of images follows the train through to Bathurst (where they left the hoppers) and then onto Lithgow.

It's 11:23 a.m. on May 4, 1995, and Union Pacific's Operation Lifesaver Special is making its second round trip from Starr (near Mona) to the Intermountain Power Railcar Service Center yard in Springville, Utah. The 10-car streamliner is cruising eastward near Santaquin on UP's Provo Subdivision. This rural area is now covered with homes, part of the Summit Ridge housing development.
Norfolk Southern train 044 crosses the Dan River in Danville, Virginia, with seven "streamliners" in tow. SD40-2 number 6105 has the honors of leading the parade of classic cab units away from the "Streamliners at Spencer" event. This batch of units will run west towards Chicago, dropping engines along the way so they may return to their homes. The consist includes Chicago Northwestern 411, Burlington 9911a, Nickel Plate Road 190, Iowa Pacific 515, Soo Line 2500a, Canadian National 6789, Wabash 1009, and an NS bay window caboose.
The Salt Lake City Diesel Shop was a major repair facility on the Union Pacific. We used to see all kinds of interesting power at North Yard for repairs. On August 1, 1978, E9 No. 951 was in town and parked adjacent to South Tower.
The EMD F units sit around the Bob Julian Roundhouse in Spencer, NC for the nighttime shoot during the Streamliners Event.

Seemingly lifted right out of the 1960s the Union Pacific's famed City of Los Angeles streamliner flashes across the Nevada high desert crossing an old art deco stylized bridge over South Las Vegas Blvd. on the UP's former Los Angeles and Salt Lake Route. While that of course is just a dream what this actually is is pretty cool in its own right. Out of sight on the head end of this blur of Armour Yellow is Union Pacific's legendary never retired Alco 4-8-4 #844 leading train SYRLV-20, the Arizona Centennial Special. The train is headed to Las Vegas where it will overnight beside the then still open downtown yard office (road crews had not yet been moved out to Arden Yard) after a run east up the Cima Sub. Tomorrow they'll continue on toward Salt Lake and ultimately to Ogden and eventuallyhome in Cheyenne after a long tour of the southwest celebrating one hundred years of statehood for the Grand Canyon State.
Today this is known as Union Pacific's Cima Sub and this is right about MP 304.7. This route is one of my favorite and most underappreciated western mainlines and it's last spike was driven at a little remarked location just northeast of where this was taken.

The development of the railway line that became the LA&SL began in 1871 when the Utah Southern Railroad began laying track southward from Salt Lake City. The Utah Southern, controlled by the larger Union Pacific Railroad (UP), built a line to a station known as Juab, Utah, in 1879. From there a second UP subsidiary known as the Utah Southern Railroad Extension took up the work, completing trackage as far as Milford, Utah, in 1880. By the end of the century, these and other lines had been absorbed into the Oregon Short Line Railroad, a far larger UP subsidiary.
Work on extending the Milford line southward began by 1889, but no tracks were actually laid due to financial issues. Construction resumed in 1899 when the route was completed as far as the Utah–Nevada border. Grading work extended into Nevada, and the UP's stated intent was to continue the line all the way to southern California.
Another player entered the scene in 1900, when William Andrews Clark acquired the struggling Los Angeles Terminal Railway with an eye to extending the line northeast to Salt Lake. The railroad was reincorporated in 1901 as the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad, and Clark announced plans to construct a line between Salt Lake and southern California. Clark assembled political and financial supporters to assist in the project, both in California and Utah. The competing Union Pacific Railroad and its formidable leader E. H. Harriman stood in opposition to Clark's plan.
Clark's forces began construction work in Nevada, along the existing UP grade, and a brief "railroad war" ensued before Clark and the UP called a truce in 1903. Their agreement called for Clark's railroad to acquire the existing UP trackage south of Salt Lake City. In turn, the UP received a 50% interest in Clark's railroad. Construction of the remaining line proceeded rapidly to Daggett, California, where it connected to the ATSF, and the complete Salt Lake–Los Angeles line was opened on May 1, 1905. In California, Clark negotiated a trackage rights agreement from Daggett to Riverside, California, allowing his new line to use the existing Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway route over Cajon Pass, in lieu of constructing its own tracks across the pass.
On April 16, 1916, the railroad's stockholders voted to remove "San Pedro" from the corporation's name. The former town of San Pedro had been consolidated within Los Angeles in 1909. The LA&SL operated independently until April 27, 1921, when the UP agreed to acquire Clark's half-interest in the railroad. After 1921 the LA&SL lines were operated as part of the UP system, although the LA&SL corporation continued to exist on paper until January 1, 1988.
Other than portions in the greater Los Angeles area the entire mainline remains in service as a critical transcontinental route for the modern day UP split into three subdivisions, the Lynndyl, Caliente, and Cima from east to west respectively.

On Saturday 22/10/2022, AK82 (ARTC track inspection train) is seen very close to the end of its journey, passing Adelaide Showground station (Adelaide) with Chumrail-owned 42103 & SSR veteran GM10 in charge.
S302, S306, S317, S300, 4486, B61, GM10, GM19 and CLP19 sit around Goulburn Roundhouse during Streamliners!
Based in part on Nemo's Nautilus - as usual I only take what works in Lego and expand on it. Rendered against a two-plane background using free textures off the web.
Devoid of her streamlining casing, Gresley LNER A4 Pacific 4468 Mallard still cuts a fine sight as she leaves the confines of the NRM after restoration in September 1985.
The ECML main line and York Minster are in the background.
Personally, I prefer it before the streamlined vallance, or side skirting, was re-applied, as in this photo. These were first removed during World War II to ease maintenance and not replaced until after preservation in 1963.
