Peek-a-boo! I don't quite see you! BUT....the photo qualifies! Thanks for participating Steve.

Here's me, circa 1999 cutting coal aboard the Baldwin at Steamtown. Second photo is more recent, on a different mode of transport.

I feel cheated! The only time I was in the area of WalDrug, I was alone, in the middle of fall and it was quite late. the place was closing and it was dark as the inside of a cow at the time.
It always annoyed me that I never got the 'WalDrug experience,' as you see those signs for hundreds of miles before you get there...

Yeah & you can follow the old Milwaukee ROW at the same time.

What about the big steer at/near Chamberlain????

Sorry I'm late to this party, I had to find the one photo of me that I like.

I enjoy going to other museums and identifying myself as a reader of RYPN. Without fail, the person I am speaking with reads RYPN. Most don't comment. This forum has a very wide readership (even with the "railfan" content, personal nonsense, etc.)

Ed - You're not late. No time limit on this thread. You at least, made the train! A number of us have not yet done so.

I found a pic of me standing on N&W 1218's pilot back in 1989. My parents had come down to Alabama for a visit and my mom took the pic.

Andy P, I cleaned up the image a bit for you. Hope you don't mind. Neat pic. Does not seem like that many years ago.

Hello

Here is couple of me

1. Jim potvin (on the left) and Myself at boulder City nevada
2. me at work at my day job for union pacific

Thanks Bill.

No, I don't mind. I found it in my toolbox today and had it scanned by a coworker.

I learned alot in that shop. Maintaining steam locomotives is hot, heavy....really heavy, dirty work. I was young and inexperienced....I wish I had more maturity and skill then.

Yours truly with Maine Central 501 at Conway Scenic in August

Several years back, (late 90's early 2000's) there was some folks at Steamtown looking at Maine Central 519, with the purpose of using whatever observations they made to the idea of gettting 501 operational again.

I have never heard anything about 501 operating. What became of that effort?

It is dead. There are a few reasons, but it's not a good situation.

superheater,

It's kind of the northern New England equivalent of 1361. Just not in as many pieces. "Don't go there", as they say.

Howard is correct. Bad Juju with that engine. To bad too. It would have been a nice runner.
