That "Big Boy" is an awsome locomotive. I have a DVD with railroad scenes, and it's included. What a power-house !!!

Have to admit that I like the old German 01's and the French SNCF 242A1 (only one ever built) and the 241 P.....

Anyone here remember the movie "The Train" starring Burt Lancaster?

Excellent pics.

I prefer the old steam locomotives over the new trains of today. They just appeal to me more. I have taken several trips on old steam engines including a DRG Class 01.

The planes flying over the train were French AF B26 invaders.

The movie also has one of the more exciting train crashes to have been filmed.

Those were "Milwaukee Road" electric locomotives. They had so many wheels on them, they were called "centipedes".
