Steam Locomotive Cab Ride

The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad that I take photos for, needed some in the cab shots while the locomotive was out on the line.

This is 487 the locomotive that I took cab shots of.

Golly Roger, they just had to have some cab shots taken, and of course being the good soldier, you bucked up and did your duty. Tough work, but somebody had to do it, huh! Great pix. Hot, loud, dirty. Those were the days when being an engineer meant as Marlena Dietrich said in Touch of Evil "some kind of man."

Very neat archiving an event in history when this endeavor was a great influence on the history and economy of the country.

Thanks for sharing.

Cab rides are not that frequent, glad you got one. I was happy, just riding to the Wye. Now I want you to ride the "dog house" up to Cumbres, so I can get a shot of a real Man.

Excellent shots Roger. Some guys just have all the luck. Only thing better than riding one of these fine locos would be a ride in one of the Westside Lumber Co. Shay type locomotives.

Nice shots Roger. I am still amazed at how big the chunks of coal are compared to what we use at Cass.

Yep I (we) do. It is not the most common name out there. I was named after my Mom's cousin, a young soldier KIA in Normandy so my name is VERY special to me.
