I drove down spur of the moment to the Streamliner event at the North Carolina Transportation Museum at the Historic Spencer Shops and even though I spent only a few hours it was worth the trip. The day was overcast and thundershowers threatened but never came close enough to get us wet (we did hear thunder though). | |
I saw a few units I was a bit familiar with... but most I've only seen in magazines. |
|
A few units moving... | |
...and a few not (yet) moving. | |
What's the "heritage" of this unit??? | |
This guy couldn't move under it's own power, but the museum's switcher was ready for the job. | |
I didn't get the full lineup around the roundhouse but I shot enough... Pretty nifty, huh? |
|
...Ain't these units pretty? | |
After the fact I realized I'd missed a few units, and ones (like this grab shot of the Iowa Pacific unit) that I saw but just couldn't get a shot. | |
Amtrak's Veteran unit was the only modern locomotive I shot this day. | |
...and of course when in NC you end the day at one of the ubiquitous barbeque places! |
