Welcome WMSTR353!

Nice picture! Lots of steam train fans on here!

Ever seen the UP 4014 Bigboy?

 

[jd2cyl1943]

I did. massive machine.

 

[WMSTR353]

Thanks! Glad for the kind welcome! Yes, I saw the Big Boy, even looked in its cab.

Welcome. With a handle like that Im going to venture a
guess you are from northern MinnesOta. Or does your
address lie elsewhere?

Here's a picture I took of the train
coming out of the fog in the early morning
hours.

I've been to see it several times, but they would not let us even get close to it!

This is my favorite (Polar Express). Probably because I got to operate on my 65th birthday in 2018. There is a Big Boy at the the Henry Ford you can climb on if you so desire and get up close and personal.

I like that! I've seen the locomotives in early morning like that, too. What do you think of the other locomotive at WMSTR?

The Pere Maquette 1225 is a Berkshire, right?

 

[WMSTR353]

All nice pics. Remember when I was little I liked diesel more than steam but not anymore.

You have a good eye for photography perspectives. Nice photos.

Wait, your saying that you got to operate it? Oh my goodness, I have wanted to operated a steam locomotive for a long time! You're so lucky. Get any more pics of the cab?

If you were closer, you could help our club in operating the little steam train. We're looking for help in running and maintaining it. And yes, it is a fully steam operated unit, not a gas powered look a like

It's cute. It reminds me of the Ortener Railroad at WMSTR. It has one locomotive, also a steamer.
