B&O Railroad Museum. The B&O Railroad Museum is located at the historic site of the B&O Railroad's Mt. Clare Shops (just 10 blocks west of Baltimore's Inner Harbor area) at 901 W. Pratt Street (phone: 410-752-2490). Mount Clare is considered to be the birthplace of American railroading. From this historic site (most shops are gone) sprang so many innovations that it was considered "Railroad University" by many. The B&O was America's first chartered rail common carrier, dating to February 28, 1827.

Golden Spike Ceremony. The "Golden Spike" ceremony was held at Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1994. During this celebration, 10,000 people were expected to attend. I spent the previous days photographing and taping the events which took place in nearby Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah. These are just a few photographs of the Promontory Summit area.

Illinois Railway Museum (and Chicago). Railway museums can be categorized into several types: 1. Those designed for good viewing (but not necessarily for preserving the equipment); 2. Those designed for preserving the equipment (but not necessarily good for viewing); and 3. Those designed for both (usually indoors). The Illinois Railway Museum falls into category number two. Why do I say this? The Museum has a great deal of rolling stock. Much of the equipment is kept in large sheds. These sheds house several very long parallel tracks of equipment. The result is that the equipment is protected from the elements, however, it is very difficult to photograph. You can't stand back and get a good view of a locomotive, for example.

Steam Locomotives of Minnesota.

North Carolina and Georgia Steam. During World War I the Russian government purchased a large number of lightweight 2-10-0s from American locomotive builders. In 1917 after 857 locomotives had been shipped, the Russian revolution forced cancellation of the order, leaving 200 completed Decapods orphaned in the U.S.

Steam Locomotives of Pennsylvania

Steam Locomotives in SE Texas and SW Louisiana. The following is a look at the engines located in the Southeastern Texas and Southwestern Louisiana area. Most of these are located within a few miles of US Highway 59 as it winds across Southeast Texas. Notice that the Southern Pacific and the logging railroads dominate the remaining locomotive inventory.

Steam Along the Mississippi Delta. This Tour is a continuation of my Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana Steam Tour. We will now go further south and east to look at the steam locomotives found along the Mississippi Delta.
