Is it me or is the railfan community here super small?

I know this is meant to be more of a serious topic, but I think it's far funnier to think that these people are just utterly flabbergasted at how the PRR or the Milwaukee Road electrified major portions of their networks.

Idk if it'd revitalize the franchise but I'd pitch the idea of adapting the events of the New Jedi Order as a show, under the caveat that it'd be marketed as being "Legends continuity." With 19 books, I'm sure there's SOMETHING for fans to enjoy there.

There were three predecessors to this, the Horatio Allen (1400), John B. Jervis (1401), and the James Archibald (1402). 1400 operated at 350 psi, 1401 at 400 psi, and 1402 at 500 psi, and all were cross compounds. Also, L. F. Loree (1403) was a 4-8-0 while the others were 2-8-0s.

UP "Bull Moose" 3559 is seen here heading UP MT-2 7856 and her train up Cajon Pass sometime in the 1940s.

Hedjaz No. 66, a then 76 year old veteran built by Arnold Jung of Germany, is seen sitting at Deraa Junction on the Syrian side of the Hedjaz. Pretty much a miracle that they were able to keep such a survivor in service back then. Now, who knows what condition this engine is in.

Still one of 4449's best looks. I know it's super simple, but something about a usually bright engine in a sleek, black paintjob is super eyecatching.

Love that a popular excursion star was a regular here in the Central Valley. Here’s SP GS4 No. 4449 crossing the San Joaquin River at Herndon (near Fresno) on June 19, 1955. Photo by Stan Kistler.

Eh, why not? Breaks up the monotony of the day "Quote 4 games you've played multiple times."

Does anyone here know of a good book on American narrow-gauge railroads? I've been trying to read more recently and anything narrow-gauge related peaks my interest

Found this book again yesterday. I already have a copy of this book, but seeing that it went everywhere with me as a kid, it's in rather poor shape, so I'm happy to have found this! Shame the store owner was super rude, cause I would've gone back
