I was very fortunate to just ride behind these engines. But with 6060, worked on numerous excursions as part of the crew. 6218, I helped her get ready when she was put on display. |

I was never into steam trains. I prefer the new stuff, rapid transit trains (NYC Subway). |

| Through my membership in numerous railroad organizations, I have worked numerous excursions pulled by steam. Too see a long train pulled by steam, words cannot describe it.
But, I'm known as a juice jack. That is one who likes electrified railroads. As you can tell, I'm a fan of the former New Haven RR. My favorite part of the railroad was the 4 track electrified main between New Haven & New York. And even the NY Subway.

2 edits | For something that really screams power, here's picture of a EF-3 heading a eastbound freight to Cedar Hill passing Burr Rd. in Bridgeport.
This engine can easily pull a 150 + car freight with ease. One motor (electrics are called motors) pulling a 150+ car freight leaving Oak Point to Bay Ridge can make the grade leading to the approach for Hell Gate Bridge from a dead start near the approach while a trio of diesels with less cars have to make a long back up move to make a start up the approach.

said by Julio :I think this screams power. Awesome picture, did you take that? However, to me it says "electric toy train set".  I grew up around Steam and Diesel. To go to NYC, you had to change to the electric trains and they just didn't have the same ooomph to me.  I adore subways, though, and they're electric, so I guess I'm conflicted. LOL |
