Nice little set up they have along this line. Similar to NYMR only smaller and cleaner, but mainly run by volunteers.
IVATT CLASS 2 2-6-2T NO.41313
JS 8173 backs down to the loading point with empties. Maybe one of the injector water valves has been left open or the fireman is about to put the injector on. Note the icicles on the tender. And the 'disordered' pipework on the loco's boiler. :-)

In the 'right' BR livery, class A1 no. 60163 'Tornado' powers past Waitby on the climb up to Ais Gill. Having left Carlisle late and then dropped a few more minutes, the loco was by now clawing back time, and was going significantly more quickly than 'British India Line' which had preceded it - maybe a by-now-dry rail helped. It was very noticeable how different the two three-cylinder machines sound.

... after the previous pic, 0-6-2T No 3714 appeared on the scene, having come from the depot complex half a mile or so away, ready to power the 14.30 to Le Crotoy.
The loco was built in 1909 by Buffaud-Robatel and is ex SE (Réseau de Seine & Marne) according to Wikipedia.
St Valery Ville station, Baie de Somme Railway, northern France.
Doug Debs commented on Train Orders:
McCormick short pilot (replaced the original wooden pilot), large "ashcan" headlight (quite different than the cast-aluminum-body Pyle-National headlight it later got), cutouts on the pilot deck riser (later filled in), two-bolt pattern on smokestack (where snowshed exhaiust splitter once was mounted), 12,000 gallon Vanderbilt tender with top walkway extension (originally delivered with a 4-10-2, I believe), no blowdown mufflers yet.... probably 1930s.
Thanks Doug.

Narrow gauge steam locomotive 99 1793 at the coaling station in Freital-Hainsberg, Saxony state, Germany, to be prepared for the next train service to Kipsdorf.
The first train to Saline arrived on July 4, 1870, and the engine likely looked like this.
On June 29, 2019 Saline will celebrate the 4th of July at the Depot Museum
BR 'Standard' class 5 (note the 34E shedplate - it was once a Neaden engine) drifts through Rothley station on the Sunday luncheon train. The 'signalman's agent' holds up the single line staff for the Rothley-Leicester North section and James, the 'third man'/trainee fireman, is leaning out of the cab ready to receive it.
Great Central Railway.
A mechanical lubricator. I guess it worked OK despite the grime - a combination of fine coal dust and oil.
Seen on an 'SY' class 2-8-2 of the Baiyin Nonferrous Metal Company, Baiyin, Gansu province, China.
It has stopped snowing and we are back on shed. Anthony has raked the fire and partially filled the boiler, and is about to empty the ashpan - with a long rake after thoroughly wetting the contents; it's a lousy job - no hopper ashpan on this one. I am about to empty the smokebox: the barrow is ready at the side and I, on my way back to the engine with a bucket, have paused to take a quick pic - because, even though this freight loco is a bit of a rough old girl, she looks pretty nice standing there under the shed lights.

Union Pacific ‘Big Boy’ 4014 makes an appearance in West Chicago, Illinois. The steamer, built in 1941, blows some additional smoke into the air as they work up a small grade.
Leaving Salta, Argentina for the climb to the Chilean border via Ramal C14, the northern "Transadino", and one of the world's great mountain railways. These meter gauged Skoda 2-10-2's were my favorite Argenitine engines. More pictures of this incredible line can be found on my website here: www.lifewastedchasingtrains.com/main.php?g2_itemId=3363
This is a photograph Key Route Ken sent me. There is no information other than the photo. We are looking at the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway Shay 7, its full train and two more trains behind it. I assume this was taken at Mill City, CA.
Here is the Wikipedia opening paragraph of the article on the railroad: The Mount Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway was a scenic tourist railway operating between Mill Valley and the east peak of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, covering a distance of 8.19 miles, with a 2.88-mile spur line to the Muir Woods. The railroad was incorporated in January 1896, and closed in the summer of 1930. Originally planned as a 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in standard gauge electric trolley line, the railroad was powered by a succession of geared steam locomotives. Billed as the "Crookedest Railroad in the World," the line was renowned for its steep and serpentine route, winding through picturesque terrain to a mountaintop tavern providing first-class hospitality and panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay Area. Despite its popularity, the railway met its demise following a fire in 1929, and dwindling ridership when the automobile could finally drive to Tamalpais' summit. (Wikipedia)

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.
