I went to Santa Fe Depot in Temple, Texas a while back, it was very cool, They had a museum upstairs with lots of old things that was very interesting and learned a lot.
I have seen these things on TV and books and all but never seen them in person or got to touch them, some things as you might know was hands off :-D
They had a working telegraph that I got to play with dit-dot dit-dit-dot-dit-dit, at one time I did learn Morse code. :P back in the Ham radio days.
It was only $3.00 to get in because I was over 60, under 5 was free, I told them I was under 5, but it didn't work for some reason. :roll:

Your locomotive photo depicts one of ten Santa Fe Mallets, built with 2-10-10-2 wheel count. None survived, and photos are rare.

Well done! Fun seeing what our forebears thought of as cutting edge technology. And I don't recall a single instance of any of them complaining they needed more RAM.

Johnny, these are beautiful, interesting pictures. I love the detail and composition of these pictures. I must say that I found them most enjoyable to view. Thanks for sharing. :thumbup: Tejaswrangler :)

I love this set Johnny. I used to collect railroad memorabilia when my granddad was still alive. I'd find something and show him and he'd tell me all about it. He worked in the South Altoona engine shop from '09 - '56 for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
