Mighty neat and clean. Good photography. The StL Museum is a bit shabby compared to your shots.
I used to walk along rail lines and thru some yards; I loved being close to the steel.
High point was visit of the "American Freedom Train" in 1976.
Photos on film; history filed away.

Going to a train museum always causes me to dream of taking over our basement. Thanks for sharing!

Yep. Really like old engines. I’m more of a steamer guy. Guess due to my youth, i.e., memories.

Mighty beasts, well rendered. I begged for the Santa Fe combination for my Lionel layout when I was several years younger than today. Got it for Christmas that year. Happiness!

If you are ever in the UK, be sure and visit the Railroad museum in the city of York.

Speaking of the UK and steam engines, there are some fine examples at a place called the 'Watercress Line' near Salisbury. They take you on a 10 mile or so ride through the country side using one of their old steam engines.

That looks real interesting. A little different from the National Railroad museum where you can see the "Mallard" the worlds fastest steam engine plus the "Flying Scotsman and many others.
