Nostalgia & History > Is it really Nostalgia? - Trainorders.com
Earlier today I posted a couple of UP shots I took in 2011. I posted them on the Western forum because it’s just human nature to resist getting old(er). But I “toed the line” in for this image. Nostalgia, it is! And I still feel older... ;^) 1. BNSF 1536 and an unknown Warbonne
Railroaders' Nostalgia > CF7 as an art form? - Trainorders.com
There is plenty here for me to be nostalgic about. I found this consist working the elevator in 1977. Even though I didn’t hire on with the Santa Fe for another 8 months. This is the old Middle Division Cottonwood Falls Spur that once reached down from Strong City on the 1st District passenger main between Emporia & Newton. In 1979 and again ...

I stumbled on a set of James Belmont Utah nostalgia photos
James Belmont/GrandeGold posted here for quite a few years. Of both current and historic (1970 - 2000) photos from Utah. He has a very good eye for finding interesting long lense subjects. With various twists. Like: glint shots, foreground+background subjects, . And these styles were used
Late returns from Chase County - Trainorders.com
Of course, the overriding topic of conversation was how much older we all looked. It was truly a pleasure to reconnect with this small handful of former Santa Fe brothers! After our deeply nostalgic lunch broke I was so charged up I pointed Willie V south to the Flint Hills instead of north back home to Manhattan.
Speaking of Tower Tuesday... - Trainorders.com
Also saw a few nostalgic railroad videos on that "Tube" site, that showed some trains passing through Old Riverside jct. Just compass north of the Depots / 3rd st. Along the current BNSF/UP mainline. I understand there was a tower there at the old jct. And wondering if anyone has any photos to post of that old tower?
Nostalgia & History > Brunswick, MD. - Trainorders.com
The caboose has been next to Brunswick High School (Home of the Brunswick Railroaders) for many years. It has just been fixed up and repainted as a senior student's project. The station (built in 1890) and the tower are also in much better condition (thanks to MARC) than in your nostalgic images. Thanks for reminding us of the past.

Railroaders' Nostalgia > Erma Lee - Trainorders.com
They did their jobs well, and some still did telegraphy too. I was tickled and proud when my wife had to qualify as a train order operator. It was nostalgic watching her run out of the station to fork up orders and waybills by hand to trains and watch …
Nostalgia & History > CTC machine for Cuesta grade
I've been enjoying the coast line images posted lately, and thought I'd throw in this photo I found at the Shasta Division archives into the mix. A photo of the operator at the CTC machine in SLO for traffic on Cuesta grade. Operator controlled traffic from San Luis Obispo to Santa Margarita.
