    I love steam in black and white. What year was this photo taken? 1939? 1944? 1960? 2002? :confused:

    I'm going to judge by the architecture of the building on the hill and say '1939'. - [​IMG]

    Charlie, they can't be ash trays. Smoking has been outlawed in the entire USA. Paul, you caught me. I could have said they were early generation bib overalls, eh? Yeah, 2002, but it sure looked like 1939. ;)

    well...I DO know where that is...I have been there...
    It is the grand Canyon Station, and those are SF units...now if it is 2002, then that is 4-8-4 3571...or something like that...the one that has been restored...

    Benny, right on! Darren, I scanned that thing in such poor resolution that you couldn't find those security lights. What kind of machine are you viewing this on?? I want one! :D

    Actaully, I knew the building and looked up a colored version of it on their web site and compaired that to your image and you can see "gray blurs" of the lights in your B&W so that was a dead give away.

    You know me, I'm a Computer Geek and can find allot of information on the NET once I know what to look for.
