    Thanks Buddy for selecting that sweet li'l ole Teakettle that I shot crossing Bay St. Louis trestle back in '85-ish. She's still working her heart out up in Tennessee.

    Good to see some more steam. Where/what line was Geep_fan's shot taken? Keep up the good work, folks. Thanks for keeping this going, Buddy.

    Nice selections, Buddy!

    I'd like to know more about that GPT steamer. It looks like it's pulling an excursion train.

    Buddy, your sig is hilarious...

    Yeah, there is not any history about the locomotive at the web page that Hank posted for the Three Rivers Rambler where it now runs.

    Here is some of her history.

    http://hawkinsrails.net/lagniappe/mrm/mrm.htm

    She was not on an excursion when she came through town. She was returning from being overhauled somewhere in Mobile, AL. The three cars were museum owned and filled with museum staff, volunteers, and assorted families.

    Loved the quote so much, it became part of my signature. That pretty much says it all about me. ;)
