Sharknose No. 1216 heads up the Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad Wells Job arriving in Channing, Mich. on Aug. 24, 1979. Not much revenue, but there were more cars when the train headed back east. This was one of two brief Shark revivals on E&LS, the other was late October/early November 1982.
While heading south, RBMN 2102 runs on the Iron Horse Rambles heading into Molino. People were all over this train and I’ve never seen more people out for one train but allowed me to meet some cool people along the way.

Can't remember seeing too many Western Railway of India WG 2-8-2s in passenger colours. WG 9122 (BLW 76061/55) was at Ratlam on 3 November 1978 and was an exception.
Built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1955, I'm led to believe this was one of a batch of 50 that were the last steam locomotives of significance to be built in the USA. 100 WGs were built under delivered the Indo-USA Technical Co-operation MIssion Aid Programme, 25 of each also coming from Hitachi and North British as part of the Programme.
