One of the nicest, how-they-do-it, series I've seen. Great photos and great narrative. Thanks for sharing! Sparky52t in southcentral PA.

Hi, Impressive to say the least-must've been interesting to be so close to the work area and watch and photograph, I wish we had as many working on your steamer. Good album here, thanks for the showing. I'm looking for someone that can either help me define parts-pictures of a diesel Switcher or show or tell me where I might find that information. I have to tell you that I'm rather new at shooting loco's, but I've just updated my site with a 1922 Baldwin Steam Locomotive yesterday and I'd appreciate if you'd visit my site and let me know what you think of what I shot and leave a note if you would. Taking photos of this engine and then defining the parts was an education in itself. Asking around to those in the know and hitting the library, I hope I covered all and got the parts correct. We've a diesel coming next, a Switcher, as they call it and know nothing about it and I'd like to define the diesel's parts as well. Any idea where I might locate the nomenclature on one? Again, thanks for showing this album and so many more. Ron/Oregon Coast

As a railfan and model railroader, this is a very intersting series of photos. It's not often that you get to see the details of a day-to-day railworkers job.
