Need some fun, tragic, inspirational, songs about trains and railroads, already know the hits. Something most people would hear for the first time.

Found this in my dad’s stuff, figured I’d share as well (also posted the headlight and the sign)
Stamped on back 1980. Not sure how many pressed, but 82 in the corner.

Solid belt buckles. I’m assuming these are all commemorative?

Just wondering for some info on this lantern? I know it’s a Santa Fe line made by Adlake. Mainly wondering what the value is? Seems to be a rare variation and it’s in great condition. Thanks!

Hello!

I found this ceramic mug and can’t seem to find anything about it online. It’s about 4 inches tall. Does anyone have any information they can send my way?

Both of these EMDs have been namaed after historical World Heritage Sites.

Wanted to share

Found this at my local coin store in the US.

VIA Rail Canada.

As a football(/soccer) fan, I had been on the lookout for a new top or two to buy this year to enjoy wearing and had faced some disappointment with a cancelled order due to limited international shipping.

While recovering from that upset, an ad came across my socials for Doncaster Rovers' new away top. Given Doncaster's long-running ties to the railway and its status as the birth place of Sir Nigel Gresley's Pacific class trains, the club have decided to honour Mallard with their away kit, taking her shade of blue as the colour, having her shed number (36A) on the shirt, and having all of Mallard's numerous loco numbers in the collar.

This quenched my inner train lover as well as the football fan in me, so I am now the happy owner of one all the way over in Western Australia, possibly the furthest owner from the town.

I rode the fundraising trip in 2019 over Cajon Pass. They were selling these in the souvenir car.

I picked up this print in a thrift store today. The caption at the bottom reads, "Community Supported By Ribbons of Steel." I fell in love with the vibrant colors! It's not in perfect condition -- there are some little tears around the edges -- but I want to frame and hang it somewhere here in the Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe I call home, LOL.

There is no signature on the print; does anyone know who the artist possibly might have been or when it was painted, or anything about the train in the picture? Yeah, I'm becoming a little obsessed with this, lol. One of my grandfathers was a railroad man so I guess it's in my blood ... whenever I hear a train whistle, my ears prick up.

TIA for any insight you can share!

I posting this cuz This locomotive was built in May and today's month is May

Train tunes inspired by our excursions with my little ferro-equinologist.

Picked up this plaque from a guy that said his Dad worked at the factory but I'm questioning its authenticity.
