Sheesh; yall are just young pups, and I appear to be the oldest fart on the board.

While I was growing up, Harry Truman became president, and steam whistles sounding lonesome in the night were a common occurrence. I still remember how some engineers played those whistles. They were music then, and I long to hear them now.

Why start with another rr? Unless you are running out of NYC photos; too bad the photos aren't on some of the background engines like those GP-20's in the Elkhart photo and that U25B in the BC photo.

wonder if there were any pic in GR?
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

Wow..great shots!!!
BTW, the F unit (first photo of the second batch) is a rare F2, not an F3, the nose gives it away (more of an angle than later F's).
