It's not getting from A to B. It's not the beginning or the destination that counts. It's the ride in between...This train is alive with things that should be seen and heard. It's a living, breathing something -- you just have to want to learn its rhythm. --David Baldacci

A New Venture Car, Finally
I was finally able to get a nice, high-resolution shot of a new Venture car for Kevin Eudaly. He’s publishing a book on Amtrak equipment and needed shots of these relatively new cars.
This is an eastbound Amtrak Wolverine, number 352, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, about to cross over the Kalamazoo River on its way to Pontiac. The line is former Michigan Central.

Stormlight of a Different Kind
May 23, 1958, Today is the final day of service on Metropolitan Transit Athority's Bellflower Line. PE fans have gathered to get their final rides on this last vestige of Pacific Electric's Santa Ana Line. Posed at Bellflower with car 318, an ex NWP "Hot Rod" Blimp are motorman Howard "100%" Smith, Ira Swett and Ray Younghans with veteran photographer Ernie Leo behind then in the vestibule. The jet black skies are the result of the a disastrous fire in its second day at the Hancock Oil Refinery on Signal Hill near Long Beach.

Southern Pacific 4305 4-8-2 passing through a busy city station with a rake of 7 kinda matching heavyweight coaches. I’ll be trying to post more videos and pictures from the railroad club I go to just because I wanna actually use my tumblr for something 😅
Sadly I don’t have a name for this one just yet but I’m kinda leaning towards Vulkan. Sounds tough enough for a Mountain type engine. Also I have no ideas for the name of the passenger train cause I’m pretty sure that half the ones I can think of might already be taken
