Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

@Rruuff Day For "Reporting Only". They want to know what they just hit to make the paperwork easier.

On another safety note I read recently that they were talking of removing the horn function on locomotives as we know it today. Rather the horn would be placed at the crossing itself to warn drivers.

Funny you say that. I just picked up a vintage Griswold Rail Crossing bell the other day. Wonder if they'd like to buy it.... Lol....

Wow, how cool is that? Are you restoring it Eric?

Been a LONG time since I have seen one of those.

I bet there is a ton of people that think this is what a roadway roundabout looks like.

Yup... Vehicle on the right has the right-of-way.... that's why no one is moving... That and it's a still picture... lol

At least it looks safer than the last contraption.

Until you meet a train.... Driver bails and passenger stuck in the side car kisses his...elbow goodbye... lol...

What would be the chance of convincing someone to ride in the sidecar? Oh yeah....stupid has no cure and no limitations.

I used to live alongside the Credit River just south of Streetsville, ON. That's the "new" Streetsville railway station built in 1914, and the original building was moved to a different location.
