Historical Railroad Photos

I’m not sure how I got here, but some pretty cool photos of railroad related things cataloged by era and functions.

And a link to Shorpy just in case you haven’t had a look.

And now a 3rd Link within a link within a link! I’m going to be unavailable for the next few days! :crazy_face:

That’s some cool labels. Did a web search and found a bunch I can copy and past for my future depot and store.

Bill,
The camelback is photoshopped into the picture.

When you come to America for Cliff’s Shed Ops, The UP Big Boy Tour , Evel Knievel Snake River Canyon jump re-enactment…etc, You will need to do some historic research in the states and realize that is very early 3rd rail light rail trackage and they never ran steam on it! The shanty is a pretty is a pretty dope station stop for the time.

On the other hand, the way that loco is blurred, makes me think they documented running on light rail. (but only once). :crazy_face:
