Thank you, I love streamliner trains. I love trains period, particularly he old ones, like the Iron Horse of the 1870's, and throughout the journey of trains, except these modern speed demons today. I'd stop around the 1960's as for trains (passengers). Thanks for posting.

@CSXtrackworker ALCo, Baldwin, Lima plus a few others were popular with the Steamers just like GM and GE with the Diesel. I remember when we made fun of the Diesel, they were always stalling out on grades, then it was Steam power to the rescue.

@MrCraig1930 Likewise. I enjoy talking to other railroad men about the industry. Proud to talk to ya too. Locomotives today are becomeing boreing. There is no variety anymore. All you see is mostly new GE power. On my sub, you see mostly rebuilt SD-40's& 50's. You just don't see the variety of Alco, EMD, and early GE's during your time. A GP35 give's a great grunt when under load. I also love Alco Power. They had a unique sound and a unique look. I still wish alco was in business.

@CSXtrackworker I've been following 4 other Railroaders on You Tube. I'm glade to talk another Railroader. The last Locomotive I throttle jerked was an old EMD GP35 in 1974. I loved every minute of my job. Proud to talk to you :-)
