^^^^^... did you hang around for the stage show? I found the whole presentation to be cloying, underscored by a brief chat with a ranger where I was talked down to. I stood around the grade crossing for photos like yours, away from the teeming masses and silliness.

No, we got there in time to almost hit the #119 at the crossing as it backed into it's staging and hung around until the Jupiter steamed off (that's about half-hour before the park closes IIRC).  It was pretty low key by that point and you could tell everyone was ready to go home.  It was actually a side trip for us on our way to Idaho.

The newer GEs are starting to look like Alco Centuries with all their weird protrusions everywhere. Too bad they sound like slushboxes.

The section over the primemover is raised so much now I don't why they just didn't make it flush with the front section of the hood. Also think the horn could use a taller bracket.

Snapped this last week up in Napa. Not sure what the boxcar between the FA's is.



There was also an equipment car of some kind behind the superdome.

Had a most enjoyably anniversary dinner on this train many, many years ago. It is a very enjoyable evening.

Also got a good look inside of the cab of MLW ALCO thanks to a very friendly engineerer.


Enjoy if you can....

CN's lighter-than-air division:



This was a phone grab from our back yard. I'll see if I can't get a better "roster shot" this weekend.
