Here's a bit of steam.

Two locos being steamed up early in the morning (a Class 19D and a Class 24) before doing some yard work...

Stumbled upon this in a local book store that also has a train section. Only 9$, of course I bought it.

I guess this is my first step towards becoming a Railroad Tycoon :-)

In order to put those 1000$ in perspective note the average Chicago Burlington & Quincy 1880 monthly wages of "all other employees" in the table below.

Unusual to see out here on the bEast coast. Even more unusual is the new train viewing platform smack in the middle of redneck country.

Quite a unique object found at the Québec Art Museum - a playing card box cover. Presently, this same rail line is the main CN link from Halifax to Montreal.

Thanks, I was surprised to see four motors, but I think two or three are usually how many they run on the head end here.
