Dumping train photos from the weekend

No seriously. There's a lot

I got to go to the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad this weekend and I was in HEAVEN. The last time I paid a visit to CVSR was 6 years ago for Steam In The Valley, and although no steam locomotives will be back until 2025, I was still very happy to get to see and ride these trains.

Before I get bashed for the photos where I stood on the tracks, I was walking on a little trail that required you to cross over the railroad even though the signs say not to. They only have one train running all day and I was stalking its schedule to see what station it would arrive at and what time so I knew it was safe for me and others to cross. This was the Indigo Lake station btw, and I held up my family for a solid 10 minutes just so I could get more pictures of the train when it arrived. I still do not support the idea of farting around on or near tracks or outright walking down the middle of them like they're sidewalks like I've seen a lot of people do.

Safety rant aside, I got to stop by the Buckeye Express on the way home which was AMAZING by the way. Not just in terms of the food, that was delicious, but also because the restaurant is in a literal railcar.

I was too absorbed in all the train stuff around me to take pictures of the interior.

And here's some Steam In The Valley 2018 stuff I never dropped here, just for those steam locomotive lovers like me. As a treat.

I am punching myself for not realizing I only have 1 picture of Nickel Plate Road 765 and everything else I have are videos. I tried several times to upload them here but Tumblr will Not Have It.

And finally, I got myself a new train shirt because my "Who Tooted?" shirt is really starting to wear down after having it a year and a half. I gotta get me a new one. I also got a few bonuses because why not.

That's all I got for now :3

Alright people! I have a question for you all.

What locomotive (Steam/Diesel/Electric/Whatever) do you love like it's a favourite of yours, or love so much that it could almost be call an obsession?

(That's NOT a bad thing btw)

For me it's the:

NBR H Class Atlantics

GWR 4000 Class

PRR T1

LNER A1/A3's

VR S Class

Totally inconsequential thing that still annoys me no end: it being still stated and accepted as fact in certain places (even amongst some supposed Class 40 experts) that the train involved in the Coppenhall Junction crash in December 1962 was D326 when it was actually D215.

#D326 my beloved #I have got way too invested in researching this #but I have seen the video that proves it!#amongst other evidence!#some of it from a site that is one of those #that is stating that it was D326 in that crash in fact #their own records pretty much prove it can't have been her #and sure I get that people like the whole idea of #'the cursed train who killed a whole load of people'#(in addition to the other stuff that happened with her)#but it's just not true #diesel trains

feels like pornography / watching you try on jeans

#steps out from behind a wall. hiiii im back #this is loosely referenced from one of those diesel ad photos ^_^#calming my mind by telling myself that my art is generally not useful for training on unless #they are going for my own specific style. which is unlikely. and thats assuming they violate my ''no ai thanks'' button #i mean look at this. nothing in this image is useful for teaching an ai how to draw a werewolf. lol #aceart #my art #furry #werewolf #werewolfisms #jeans #butch tag #original art

I'm having a lot of feelings about the Fell locomotive again

(images from the Shell Historical Film Archive The Fell Locomotive film)

Did she have a long and successful operational life? No

Was she an experiment that was really worth spending money on? Probably not

Was she butt ugly? Yes

Was she really fucking noisy? Yes

Has she been called one of the worst trains ever? Also yes

But I love this stupid butt ugly noisy loco so much. And I do say butt ugly with the greatest affection - I actually genuinely love the sort of brutal industrial look of her. And it's also just... that people were experimenting with things, they were trying out new ideas, even if they didn't really work out at least people had optimism and excitement about these things (except the steam train enthusiasts I suppose). If I had loads of money this is the locomotive I would get recreated, or if I could go back in time and save one from being scrapped (as much as I also love D326) this is the one I would save.

I love her
