Denver & Rio Grande Western K-28 #477 leads a mixed train across the Animas River Bridge at Milepost 495.25 as she arrives in the little mining town of Silverton, Colorado, where a little October snow has begun to fall.
This image was captured during an October 2024 photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, organized by Trains Magazine. The locomotive pictured is actually K-28 #473, lettered as one of her long-lost sisters, #477, which was sent to the White Pass & Yukon during World War II and sadly, did not survive her hard service in Alaska. The bridge pictured in the foreground is the famous timber bridge, which carried the Silverton trains for decades until it was replaced just recently, in 2024 with the more modern, steel and concrete structure that carries the tracks now. At least for now, the railroad appears content to let the old bridge remain in place.

Gauge 1 Lego model of 1813 locomotive. The loco has been redesigned several times during its long work life from 1813 to 1862. The model shows the last form, which is on display in the London Science Museum, and of which there is a detailed, working replica from 1906 in the Deutsches Museum, Munich.
Caroline and myself spent a couple of hours down at Dungeness at the steam railway station. Hot chocolate and a muffin completed a geeeeeeky time.
Some neat old tractors from this show a couple of years ago. Now It's time to go to this year's show.

Shortly after sunrise on a warm April morning, United States Sugar's high-stepping Pacific #148 leads a short "Sugar Express" train around the north leg of the wye at Keela, Florida, just outside Clewiston, heading for the cane block. On this particular morning, the train was performing for a photo shoot organized by the railroad and attended by more than 40 photographers from all over the world.
Although normally lettered for United States Sugar Corporation, this particular event featured the locomotive lettered in the livery of her first owner, the Florida East Coast Railway. The locomotive worked the FEC from the time she was first delivered in 1920, until 1952, when she was sold to US Sugar, where she worked the cane fields for another decade. Today, the cane traffic is largely handled by diesel-electric locomotives and the 148 is the primary power on a new steam tourist operation called the "Sugar Express", which operates on a portion of the US Sugar Railroad, between Clewiston and Lake Placid, Florida.

This is the last version of the single cylinder MM2, made for just one year before it was replaced by the SP2. The first version of the MM2 was a twin cylinder horizontally opposed type but few of them were made and are now very rare. The model was reintroduced in 1948 with a single cylinder so that it became similar to the slightly smaller MM1 which was updated about the same time. This design was updated several times, culminating in this version with a raised base, engine frame riveted to the boiler, mazac flywheel, sight glass and solid fuel tablet burner.

Taken Ingrow Station.
Ingrow West is the first station on the Keighley Worth Valley Railway line.The Keighley and Worth Valley Railway is a 5-mile-long (8 km) branch line that served mills and villages in the Worth Valley and is now a heritage railway line in West Yorkshire, England. It runs from Keighley to Oxenhope. It connects to the national rail network at Keighley railway station.
Working about has hard as she can with her current firing set-up, the Denver & Rio Grande Western Consolidation #340 rounds the sweeping curve at the site of the 2012 Goblin Fire (MP 480.5), hauling a 5-car Silverton mixed train east toward Durango, CO on the old D&RGW Silverton Branch.
This image was captured during a June 2026 photo shoot on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and features the 1881-vintage C-19 #340, which has been owned and operated by Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA since 1952. The engine had just emerged from a 2-year-long contract overhaul in the shops of the D&SNGRR and her owners had kindly consented to allow the engine to be used for a brief series of passenger and photo trips, to give fans a brief opportunity to see and photograph this engine in her native Colorado, before having her shipped back to the California theme park.
It should be noted that today, Locomotive #340 is an oil-burner, much like the D&SNGRR's own fleet of locomotives. The latter were converted from coal to oil relatively recently, in an effort to prevent the kind of wildland fires that burned this particular spot over a decade ago. The 340, on the other hand, was converted when she first arrived in California in the 1950s, as the LA area has had concerns about air pollution for many decades.
BoilingMan commented on Train Orders:
Those bridges crossing the tracks are Grand Ave approaching the Bay Bridge. The RR ramp on the right curves up and over the yard tracks--the photographer is standing on that bridge. This bridge was the "Red Car's" connection to the Bay Bridge.

Southern Pacific 4449, also known as the Daylight, is a GS-4 class 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotive, built in May 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Southern Pacific Railroad.
It is the only surviving example of the Southern Pacific Railroad's GS-4 class of 4-8-4 "Northern" type steam locomotives and one of only two streamlined GS class locomotives preserved, the other being GS-6 No. 4460 at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri.
GS is an abbreviation of General Service or Golden State, the latter of which was a nickname for California, where the locomotive was used to operate in revenue service.
The Hornsby Chain-Track Tractor is the ancestor of all "caterpillars". After some petroleum-powered prototypes, in 1909 a steam-powered unit was sold for work in the Yukon Territories, where oil was scare but coal and water abundant. The steam engine (Boiler and machine aggregate) was delivered by William Foster, of Lincoln. The track system and steering was created by David Roberts at Hornsby Co.
The Roberts patent rights were sold to the Holt Co in early 1914, which was in 1925 absorbed into the Caterpillar Co.
Today, only the chain tracks of the Hornsby Steam Crawler have survived.
There is a breathtaking live steam model of this tractor at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hvzBofFfzA which helped me a lot in figuring out the right proportions.

The famous Adler Steam engine from BlueBrixx is really a great set. Motorized with 9V, running smoothly. But the weight is high, so the axles have been replaced by original Lego ones.

From Wiki -
4767 was completed on the last day of the LMS, 31 December 1947 at Crewe Works. It was unique amongst the 842-strong class in that it featured outside Stephenson link motion in addition to other experimental features; a double chimney, Timken roller bearings throughout and electric lighting.
These modifications were part of a series of experiments by George Ivatt to improve the already excellent William Stanier-designed Black Five.
4767 was renumbered 44767 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948. Its double chimney was removed in 1953. It was withdrawn in December 1967 after a working life of only 20 years.
