My last upload of 2022 and another image from the Cornwall tour with Mark, Geoff and Shelly. 2022 has been mainly a series of many low points with very few highlights for me, but Cornwall was definitely the pinnacle and an opportunity to get away and do something for myself with good friends.
I’ve not posted a lot this year, in fact it’s been my second lowest output (a measly 57) since I joined Flickr way back in 2015. So, I’ll bypass all the fake New Year’s celebrations this weekend and dive head first into 2023 next week. As the song says… things can only get better!
See you all in 2023 and many thanks for all the support and comments throughout the year.

This is a close-up photo of rusting, weathered details on an old train engine at the Railway Museum in Musquodoboit Harbour.
Engine of Sierra #3 - the "Movie Star Locomotive"! The train is over 100 years old and been in more TV and movies than any other. Most people don't get this view, but Mary made friends with the docents.
On the afternoon of Thursday, March 20th, 2025, Trona Railway’s afternoon Searles turn makes its way past the Trona Pinnacles with a trio of former Southern Pacific locomotives running lite. With no loads to bring west, the crew quickly brought the engines to Searles Interchange and spent over an hour there building air pulling a large cut of cars out of storage to bring back to Argus. After months of TRC2006 being out of service awaiting new traction motors and air conditioning, it was certainly nice to see it on the main again. Unfortunately, TRC2006 has since been scrapped and TRC2002 has been placed out of service.
This engine is usually described as 'primitive'
But it was quite sophisticated for it's time !
Aluminium block with replacable iron liners (replace them along with the pistons - and you have a brand new engine)
Aluminium head
Aluminium intake manifold
Cartrige type full-flow oil filter
Exhaust gas recirculation system to improve ecological issues
But also it has primitive solid adjustable valve lifters and manual choke
The “Queen of Steam” continues to explore new frontiers and make history, now as an official Virginia landmark.
The train was built in May of 1950 by Norfolk & Western. The train was used to carry passengers from Virginia to Ohio and from the western parts of the Commonwealth to West Virginia. It is the sole surviving member of the fourteen Class J locomotives.
In 1952, it was one of the locomotives that pulled Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidential campaign train from Columbus, Ohio, to Kenova, West Virginia. Now, the steam train is owned and operated by the Virginia Museum of Transportation, Inc., in Roanoke.

Union Pacific's first diesel-electric switch engine pulls Deer Creek Scenic Railroad's "Santa Claus Express" train south of Heber City, Utah on Dec. 15, 1985. The beautifully restored NW2 was built by EMC as a demo unit in Oct. 1939 and purchased by UP in 1940.
In July 1966, it was retired and sold to the Stockton Terminal & Eastern in California. By June 1969, it found a new home on the Western Pacific as No. 607 and by May 1973, it was transferred to subsidiary road Sacramento Northern.
After the UP-WP merger of 1983, 607 was retired by UP (again) and donated to Utah's Deer Creek Scenic Railroad in May of 1984.
By February 1993, it was sold to the Nevada State Railroad Museum in Boulder City, where it operates today.
