Nostalgia & History > Grand Canyon Rwy steamDate: 11/16/05 14:31 Grand Canyon Rwy steam Author: xtra1188w I'm posting a few photos that were sent to me by an old friend who was an engineer on the GCRY at the time. Now he's a conductor with the BNSF somewhere in Texas, but he's a fixin to be an engineer again from what I hear. He's gotten a lot of good experience from running other peopels trains starting back when he was a teen ager, and from what I heard, he was pretty good, but that's another story.

The last one is a little rare, because there were not that many times that 18 & 29 doubleheaded & I caught one of them in late Sept of '90. I think I was right above him up on the Freeway when he took that. I like the shot of 18 as it shows the waterpump and 6 chime whistle that she wore early on.

My TiVo caught it for me on Monday, but they repeat it a lot during the week.
