Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

This one may actually be part photograph and part artwork. I did manage to find a little more information on it.

Apparently it is a Larry Fisher Painting, of the Hamilton, Ontario roundhouse.

wow. Bet that took a couple hours at least to paint....

Listen I have been doing this all my life, you close that valve and open that one. Well at least that is how I remember it working. No maybe it is the other way around.

Don't think the excuse "it was like that when I got here" is going to work for these messes.

Taken just outside of Oshawa, Ontario in the 1930's or so.

How times change. If someone asked "Which train do I take?", the reply might have been "get on the Finger and go North". Just thinkin it may have a different connotation now.

Finger Lakes Railway. Not sure if it still exists but anyone, in particular Ontario just because of geography, that area of the Finger Lakes in Upstate New York is stunningly beautiful. What a place to just take a drive and the best of it you are just a couple of hours from home. First place I ever did a road trip with the Corvette was to Seneca, Watkins Glen, Corning then back north again. Great adventure.

Yes. That's what was left of the old Oshawa pyramid built by the original Ontario midget tribes...

With all of the planning and engineering that went into this rail yard how did we wind up with a bus stop on the middle?!?!?

 

[Black 03 Z06]

The bus looks like it is sitting on a turntable or something similar. Maybe it was used for bringing the crews in and out.
