Default Trains and Streetcars from yesteryear!

I got the chance a while ago to take some pictures of some "artifacts" from a train yard.(a.k.a. Old Trains) I was on a mission to get an "Iron Horse" type train for the CD cover from a previous post. But it would be almost sacrilegious to not fill up a card of train images.

Well I just got around to processing the rest of the card...Hey! When you work on second shift, you aren't really awake for most of the year.*biggrin*

Anyhew Here are a few from that day of reliving the past. Maybe some of the train buffs out there can help me narrow down the third one...
Enjoy!:

Light from a street car:

Pennsylvania Rail Road:

Either Panama Canal Railroad or Canada Pacific Railroad, Maybe???
Photobucket

I Forget which car it came from but I think it was from the same as the first car:
Photobucket

Enjoy, and Get out there and SHOOT something!!!...legally of course.

Four great close up shots. My fave is the first one though, I like the old weathered look with rust starting to come through and the paint starting to flake.

Thanks Angel. Except for the iron horse train pictures I got, that one is my favorite too. There were some other that Iam getting to but they are not like that one.

Hi Steve. I always enjoy viewing something different, and these are certainly that. Gives you ideas and encouragement, and motivates you to get out there. Thanks for that. PAUL
ps we have an old Rail Car (we call them Trams) museum near us, Critch, I think I will give it a visit.
