dave_long Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 John Perfect timing thank you. I've been looking over the remains of the kellar branch for some time and want to model something based around O'Briens steel works with the blue CIRY SW14 and prex gp20. But could do with a bit more info. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold John B Posted September 10, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 10, 2014 The group is well worth joining, Dave. There's a couple of serious historians active who do a lot of research at local libraries - I'm sure questions on O'Brien's Steel Works would be readily answered by the local cognoscenti! For me, it's just making me scratch that IAIS / CN itch.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikjd Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Just found this Canadian themed blog, it's never come up in a search for images before, but seems to be full of useful pictures and detail, and covers a wide date range, and a few trips south of the border. http://tracksidetreasure.blogspot.co.uk/ Enjoy.

bingley hall Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 One of my favs is Mark Llanuza's photo stream on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7547061@N02/ Dangerously full of cool modellable stuff new to me (at least it was new to me a few years ago, I'm now a fan of the EJ&J among others) Llanuza gets plenty of friendly abuse in the comments section for many of his photos - not always the best images technically they still ooze late 70s/early 80s fallen flag diesel nostalgia. Some great stuff chasing the last Milwaukee F units across the countryside. A big favourite of mine is Bill Gordon's (lowmoor) page on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/130647200@N05/ some very classy transition era stuff from the late 50s/ early 60s from B & O, C & O and N & W country, but also lots of logging and industrial steam in its dying days. From dinky little Shays on Logging lines to massive Y6 Mallets on the Norfolk & Western - a fantastic archive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
APOLLO Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Just found this in USA Today newspaper, 45 years of Amtrak locomotives. Some nice photos, view at full screen. https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/2016/11/23/amtrak-train-engine-locomotive/94274774/ Brit15 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium chris-shay Posted November 18, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2018 Whilst bimbling around the web I came across this site that might be good for reference. Whilst not specifically a railroad site, it has good pics of the more everyday side off American life from the 70s up to late 90s... http://gfellercollection.org/ I think that there will be more pictures uploaded over time. Enjoy... C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Here is one which is new to me, came across it whilst searching Trinity hoppers, http://jeffstrainsite.com/coppermine-industrial/index.php Here's another plenty of eastern 60's and 70's era roads, I'd forgotten about this site. http://www.morscher.com/rr_index.htm And finally one for my favourite shortline, the shortlived Erie Western http://rrslideshow.com/jdemike/v/jdemike/eres/ other roads are featured Most of the ERES pictures appeared in print https://morningsunbooks.com/collections/all-hardcover/products/erie-western-in-color-br-i-small-available-november-15-2016-small-i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Most of the ERES pictures appeared in print https://morningsunbooks.com/collections/all-hardcover/products/erie-western-in-color-br-i-small-available-november-15-2016-small-i Ah - Morning Sun. Once upon a time, often a combination of great pictures and (IMO) incorrect, badly-written text. Though they have improved quite a bit in recent years.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted January 18, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2019 Distant Signal YouTube channel features the Florida scene. I quite like the style of them - they seem well produced and narrated. Here's one switching on the Florida Central RR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj-NitO_XLQ Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allegheny1600 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 For some amazing classic pictures, you’d be pushed to beat Richard Leonard’s collections; https://www.railarchive.net/index.html I’m not responsible for any “lost” hours! Another great site is the Centre for Railroad Photography & Art, I found this when looking for C&NW pictures but there’s plenty more great photographers featured; https://railphoto-art.org/collections/bjorklund/chicago-and-north-western/ The “home” page: https://railphoto-art.org John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
