Railway pictures (10)

For those who may have seen my open views "Seligman" post, this is the railroad part extension of that trip

I came across a new steam engine that the Grand Canyon RR had put on exhibit in downtown Williams, Arizona. Its one I had never seen before or heard of. Its not 539 I posted in 2018 or Pegelli's great photo here engine # 18.I've checked their website but don't even mention the steam engines, but here it is.

Its a pretty impressive engine but they have its back facing the public🤷‍♂️

Then I got to Kingman Arizona a bigger crossroads city
and they had a Locomotive Park in the downtown, w 1 locomotive in an open park. A pretty historic engine. A 484 "Northern" The Last steam engine to travel to Kingman
It ran the Railway Club of Southern California's "Farewell to Steam " special excursion run and then was donated to Kingman by the Santa Fe RR

Its in the middle of a small park where one can climb on it and it looks un vandalized or amazingly graffitied

I took some liberties w pp

Great video Joseph, thanks for providing the link. I enjoyed all 19 minutes and 11 seconds of it

Kelly, so happy you're in. You're "The Man"! I hope w the plan
Anyway you 2 think is best is fine w me I just hope it actually happens

4960 on a photo excursion sounds interesting. I wonder where they went because on the trip to the GC there isn't anything interesting to take a picture of. Its just a flat high desert, unless they did photo ops w the engine?

Makes me wonder how many steam engines they have. I know the Santa Fe wanted that Kingman engine to eventually become a GC engine. Only Kingman wouldn't let it go. I talked to a shop guy and he said they do shop tours, but now w covid its been put on hold. When they do them I want to go. I'll go to any shop tour

Also the mini Dyxum Train Fest sounds fine to me! Jack, I've not been to Steam Town though I've seen photos. Is that the Big Boy that they have there? Regards, Kelly

Thank you for your comment, Kelly. Yes, they have Big Boy there. Below Big Boy in Steam Town, Scranton, PA taken with my Canon 5D before I have switched to Sony:
