    Time to get another edition of Weekend Proto Fun rolling. Back in June of 2016, I had to make a business trip up to Nashville TN. Along the way, I made a detour and happened across this Caney Fork & Western geep. I'm travelling to Nashville again this year in June and who knows, just maybe I'll see this engine again. :)

    Found in a back holler in West Virginia. I think they may be some kind of humongus stills.

    That backlit Saluda shot is on FIRE! Love that light on the exhaust and wires.

    Westbound CP 445, the daily St Paul-Calgary manifest gets underway just west of Minot West in a torrential downpour:

    Hi All:

    Got to go visit the Steam in the Valley event in Cuyahoga Valley National Park today -- the star of the show is NKP 765 and she was shining brightly today. We also caught the CVSR 6777 FP4-A on the tail end of the train

    Nice! A steamy Lima and a veteran MLW diesel in one train. I like how they adapted CN's 1950s passenger scheme to the FPA-4.

    Beautiful things at both ends.:)
