Amazing shot Tom. Wish I was around during these tests, it must have been one heck of a site.

Wow, Tom. Just a very powerful images. Outstanding image. And to think, those C&O signals still exist on the New River Sub.

Terrific shot! A very moving image of steam in winter.

I will miss steam in bad weather like this. We'd best get our pictures fast, because steam will not be out much longer. It will be too difficult in all respects to fire up and run mainline steam.

In those pre-internet days the tests were all over before I heard about them. If only I had known....(not that I had any money then for a transatlantic airfare, and I had 2 very young children, but...) One can only hope that one day something like this will happen again, without a couple of P42s tucked in behind to help out! What a fabulous picture - winter steam railroading at its best.

Tom, I loved this peek back in time at what the C&O once looked like when you first posted it, and I love it even more now that it's earned a well-deserved POTW. Congrats!
