Trains on google street view.

Can't have signals without railroads, so talk about your favorite locomotives, railroads and any other (non signal) railroad related stuff.

The engine no longer exists here. It has been moved to a museum in Snoqualimie to be restored. I'll attempt to go down there sometime in the future to get photos of it.

Probably the rarest catch besides the GSV Car catching the Southern 630:

The car PACED a train on a SHORTLINE RAILROAD that i'm pretty sure doesn't run often

The line appears to lead to an oil refinery which wasn't too far south of where the image is. The line ends about right here.

Also, not too far away from here...

From research, this was the Maine Eastern Railroad. The excursion went kaput one month after this image was taken.

Here's a YT video of the last run of it.
