UPRR to Resurrect "Big Boy" Steam Engine

Thanks for posting - if this restoration gets done I would definitely make plans to go see it even though it would be a very long trip to take. The Big Boy at Steamtown is such an impressive piece- too see one running would be awesome. We have made the trip to Steamtown many times, it is a great experience.

Iowa Pacific

Very nice photos - the first one was my favorite locomotive on this line. Sad news- Iowa Pacific Holdings broke their contract to run trains this summer on the Saratoga to North Creek line. They could not make money on the tourist train and they did not get the freight business to supplement it by hauling tailings from the long defunct Tahawus mine line. They attracted a lot of bad press when they tried to make money by storing old tanker cars on the line from North Creek to Tahawus.

Old tyme

Great shot- thanks for posting. They sure knew how to fancy things up in the old days- the railing, the sidelights, the awning and the half circle windows on top -all beautiful.

From the C&TS yard

What a great shot - I love looking at old rail cars and old rail structures. I can understand why it is easier using a bucket loader than getting the coal into the tipple so it can slid out! Thanks for posting.

Steam in New Hampshire

Thanks guys.

We stumbled across this on our 2008 vacation to North America. We didn't see it on the return journey.
I suspect it is just an out an back operation with the loco just running around (not turning) at the far end.
We didn't catch this train, however next day we caught the train up to Crawford Notch (pictures to come) from North Conway.
There is a turntable at North Conway where locos can be turned.
Attached is a pic shot at North Conway, next day, in the yard.

I really love this one. It looks like a calendar picture and the download is fantastic. Thanks for posting. We will now have to take a trip over to North Conway,NH

Yellow Flower is ?

That's a buttercup - often found in huge masses in wet areas.
