Browsing train vids a few nights ago. Came across a series of train crash reconstruction vids similar to the air crash series I’ve been a follower of. Here’s the Hinton crash from 86. I remember this one quite vividly.
Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

Steam powered tractor meets steam locomotive. I am amazed they got out of the cab. Probably terrified of a boiler explosion. Maybe from a movie? Not many security cameras around back then!
Burlington Route and I think that is a 58 Chev in the background...
Santa Fe, now Burlington North Santa Fe. Caddy waiting, looks like for a while by the length of this freight.
Fine looking steam locomotive, the tree just blocks the RR Logo so not sure what it is.
Very cool little speeder built in part from a motorcycle, thought it might say Indian but not sure. Only thing I am sure of is I want it in my garage.
There’s a Spanish train that runs between Guadalquivir and old Saville.
And of dead at at night the whistle blows
And people hear,she’s running still.
And then they hush their children back to sleep
Lock the doors, upstairs they creep
For it is said that the souls of the dead
Fill that train ten thousand deep

This picture was taken by O. Winston Link. A professional photographer, Link was given full access to the Norfolk and Western Railway (now Norfolk and Southern) in the dying days of the steam era to capture its history forever. If he needed a train to stop for a retake, they stopped. N&W was one of the last major RR to switch to diesel as their primary business was hauling coal.
Link was an absolute master of night photography. His shots of that era tell a story not only about the RR but the but the towns and people who shared their lives with it. Pictures of a simpler time in some very remote areas of the United States.

Some more O. Winston Link Norfolk and Western RR night pictures...
The set up above and this is the actual shot...
More O. Winston Link pictures. His black and white photography in my opinion is just stunning, his pictures tell a story.
The people who make the RR run and live on the line...
No shortage of cigarette advertising in the group shot. Clever catchphrases as well.
