Sniperman15 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Took a trip to Durango this past week, happened to be during "railfest". They had a photo shoot of the Eureka Locomotive, that I managed to get in on. What I was most interested in however, was the roundhouse and machine shop which is normally restricted to employees. They machine EVERYTHING in house. I thought these pictures were pretty neat, all taken with a 6-13sec exposure (other than the daytime ones) The Eureka Loco, beautiful engine, brought in from Las Vegas by truck. Professionally lit for a neat effect by the railroad. Roundhouse/Machine shop: Also a few from the train ride: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moriquende Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Beautiful pics! There's nothing that matches the experience of a steam train. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LuckyPSD Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 A bit cliched I know but some of those pictures are crying out for a bit of sepia aging :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silent_Assassin Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 My granddad would love these. After he left the Army Signals back in the 60's he became a "Locomotive Engineer" which, yer basicly ment he was a train driver. He's retired now but he's building a scale model steam engine (the type you can sit on). Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Punkypink Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Ooooooo I love trains. I used to collect N gauge model trains but back in Singapore there wasn't a lot I could buy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
