Mouse Over the image above
He walked into the frame in the 1st shot, but I couldn't resist including these shots of this man
snapping his own shots of these HUGE wheels!
& my daughter called me at work to tell me to get my butt down to the train depot to get some shots,
so, luckily, I was able to leave work at lunch...
BUT,
it was one of those days that I was running late that morning & didn't grab my camera! *gasp* =0
I sped home, grabbed my camera, & before I could get back downtown I'm getting a text saying,
"Hurry Up! It's HOT out here, woman!"
100 degrees - She wasn't exaggerating!!!
I got parked & found her, her boyfriend, his dad, & all kinds of others snapping away!
It's taken a week to get these pics & the entire post the way I want them & there's 2 collages
because I JUST. COULD. NOT. DECIDE. on which one I liked best,
so, you get both! Which do you like best?
One of the 2 pics I shot of Kes was her asking me, "where do you want me?"
& the 2nd, "Ok, that's good w/ me as long as I can get outa here, QUICK!"
100 degrees... HOT!
Moral of this story?
ABC!
Always
Bring
Camera!
27 Charmers Say?:
wow that is a hunk o' machine!!! whew!
i loved the "where do you want me?" shot. :) and the man up next to those steel wheels helps show how huge that thing is.
A.B.C. i like it!
and i think i like the last mosaic best. :)
So funny! but so worth running back to get your camera - they are all great shots!
I love these pics!!! There are such cool details shown. I don't think I can pick just one. :)
Very cool! My fave has to be the 3rd one down in black and white with the vintage frame. Love that one!
That's so cool!
Ha ha Tricia - I remember you telling me about this story (ABC, and the heat ...). Love these nostalgic photos - great captures ! I didn't live through the steam era (I'm not THAT old !) but I do remember playing on steam engines as a kid when the Canadian railways were replacing them with diesels.
Amazing shots
my son in law would love this :P
Have a wonderful Weekend Tricia
hugs from us all

I believe that the event deserved all the images! I had never seen such a machine! a real Iron Lady! Excellent story!
Trains are cool :)
Love that shot with the puffs of steam.
This is a fine series. It's rare to get shots of a real steam locomotive. Thanks for sharing these with us.
fantastic shots of one huge monster of a train.
Un gran reportaje...muy atractivo y con un original procesado...me gusta!!!
Un abrazo, Tricia!!! ;)
Beautiful photos, Trícia.
Abraço.
I can't pick a favorite collage, so thank goodness you put both of them there for us to see! That engine is huge! I'm lucky enough to have a ticket to ride in a dome car behind another great big stream engine a week from tomorrow. I can't wait! I'll have photos of it up soon thereafter. Hope you can come and look. I don't know how to make a collage, so I'll just have lots of them on the blog, maybe several days worth because the ride is about 200 miles round trip.
How'd you do that mouse over thing? That's great!
That same train has passed through our little town a time or two. I have not managed to get down there to get photos though. These are great, Tricia. A real piece of history. :)
These are amazing photographs Tricia!!
Sure glad your daughter called you.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
i like em all! very cool pics! i need to learn that mouse over trick too =)
I was born about 30 feet from a railroad track and grew up with the steam engine rattling dishes and shaking doors. They whistled in front of our house as the state highway crossed the tracks about 500 feet north of our house. It was a time of hobos, tanks, jeeps and soldiers creeping by our house. A smaller steam engine than this one but big to a little boy.
What a cool place to visit!
Ai Tricia, Take me with you!
What great pictures!!!! I love all of them!!!
You have right about the moral!
My daughter has always her bag the camera!
many kisses
That we can call a REAL train, what a beauty:)
I love old trains. Great collages Tricia.
It spent a day here too.....and I didn't get a shot. Couldn't find a parking place and so many people crowded around it....I drove off....
I love your shots!
Love your train pics... SO great!!
that thing is huge! very cool too.
