Wow! The second photo is just about the perfect angle for that kind of shot. I like the sound recording setup in the first image. I did something similar one night in the '80s when I worked at a radio station, but it was of about 20 minutes of a heavy rainfall through the open back door with two microphones and an open-reel rig. Amazing effect with stereo headphones. I can only imagine what this sounded like with 8444's noises.

I always thought that a more charming name than City of Portland. Lesser train, better name. That happened pretty often.

Love these 8444 shots, keep 'em coming! If they were black and white, I'd swear it'd be from the 50's!

Some nice photos, especially the second one at St Charles and Eleonore. Beautiful houses. And you gotta love those ads on the front of the trolleys - John Handy, Good Scotch, great price! Cheers!
