Nice shot. I am sure that would be one those guys would be proud to frame and hang on the wall in the den!

That is one outstanding picture. The men gathered up with their tools and the 3751 makes for one soulful image.

I've seen them perform on video. It was awesome. Like a well choreographed machine. All the men swinging the hammers at the same time singing songs.

Proud men bearing the tools of an old time-honored trade. Living history at it's finest.

A very classy bunch of true gentelmen. I have met several of them over the years and was always amazed at how they were able to build apiece of railroad! Thanks for capturing them for posterity!

Great photo, Steve. I'll never forget them from Railfair '99. I got photos of them sittin' around somewhere.
