Like old engines?

[Jarmo Juntunen]

Hi, Jarmo,

You say:

I'm not sure I understand that. Do you mean it was the latest diesel locomotive that was introduced while there were still steam locomotives in operation? There were several series' of diesel locomotives after the Dr12 (notably Dr13, Dr14, and Dr16).

Best regards,

Doug

Thank you Doug! Actually, I believe it was the first in long line of diesel locomotives series and was introduced while some last steam locos were still operational. Thanks for pointing that out.

Back with the subject. Here are some pictures from inside the conductor's car.

Lots of interesting photos here. The one with all the camera bags lined up is quite amusing. Fun to look at.

Great photos here, as usual, Jarmo. The two photos of door with the peeling paint really caught my attention.

Have you seen, "The Call of Trains", by Jim Shaughnessy (http://books.wwnorton.com/books/978-0-393-06592-3/)?

Hi Tom, thank you so much, I'm glad you like the series! Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look. Simply love old engines, although I'm not a very technical person.

Well, if you're into peeling paint, got more

Lick of paint wouldn't harm

Hi Jarmo,

I especially like the perspective on this one. It sort of pulls one back into the image, after scanning it from top to bottom with our eyes.

Cheers,
Bart

Thank you Tom and Bart. Bart, the light was especially harsh on good old 753. But I though that in all her rusty splendor she was worth a picture. Here's another one:
