A filthy ACE leads one of the highest priority trains on the A-Line, 40 cars loaded with Tropicana Juice, northward past an abandoned hut.

My first RailPic as a college graduate! Q405 crosses the Roanoke River under stormy skies with 110+ cars of southbound freight including a lot of trash. High winds on this morning blew a tree acro... (more)

Another day on the Southern comes to a close under stormy skies.

Here's a loco new to RP. USA side tank 5012 (often referred as Bonsal 7) rests on blocks near the Spencer roundhouse. There were plans to restore this loco before 604 & 1925 were withdrawn from s... (more)

Perhaps the most unusual speeder of all time! This is a live steam speeder! A 4-6-2(?) propane-fired live steam loco mounted on the speeder frame drives the standard gauge axles via a chain drive.... (more)

A study in contrasting paint schemes: classic EMD passenger power vs. oddball FM switcher.

Perhaps the most well-traveled steam loco in the eastern US as of late, Flagg Coal 75 gallops along the museum trackage with a cute caboose train featuring cabs from the CC&O, SCL, Winston Salem S... (more)

Deciding to take a stroll away from the assembled group of photogs, I found Flagg Coal 75 simmering under the water spout.

Flagg Coal 75 rests quietly at the doors of the old back shop during a night photo session conducted by Steve Barry. At just $5, this night session probably offers more bang for the buck than any... (more)
