Steam & Excursion > Day Two at Trainfest. Little River 110 and the C.P.RR 6

Here is a quick look from trainfest today. We spent the morning shooting around the festival grounds, with some great light. I spent a long time checking out the brand spanking new 4-4-0 "Leviathon"....yall have to see this gorgeous engine! This is her first public showing, and the fellow I was talkin to this morning said she has a grand total of 6 miles on her at present!

We also shot the Little River 110 a couple of times before heading out to shoot the Southbound trip of 4449. Here are Three lap top edits from today.

That's some fine workmanship on the Leviathan. What a project that man undertook.

Leviathon is truly spectacular. Reminds me a lot as when Dan Markoff brought the 'Eureka' to Railfair '91. She was gleaming from coupler to coupler on her big public debut.

Well done.

I was able to see CPRR No. 63 Leviathon inder construction in May of 2007. It was a work of art then and even more so now.

As a note the Jim Ingram did the striping and gold leaf and is the same artist that did the work on the pieces at the California State RR Museum in Sacramento and at the Nevada State RR Museum in Carson City, NV.

Thanks for the Leviathan pics, was hoping to see more here. I take it that it's petty close quarters and hard to get a pic, did anyone get her on the turntable today? Just saw that in the other gentleman's aerial photos.

I like them fancypants Americans. :)

Still has that new engine smell huh? Wow, that is beyond description. Feels good when the worlds steam locomotive population rises instead of declines. Do they expect this engine to tour more frequently? I'd like to see (and support!) her in action.

I've got a number of picture of her on the turntable. I'll post a few in the next day or so. They put her on the turntable and spun her 2X just for the crowd ! She's a very purty engine. The details are amazing !!
