Passenger locos lined up at LAUPT. Note the Train of Tomorrow at right, GM's famous 1947 all-dome demonstrator.

Lightning flashes from an ominous sky, in an actual scene on our layout which has been only contrast-enhanced in PhotoShop.

In an experimental photo taken the same time as the shot directly above, the Super Chief is a silver blur in the slanting twilight.

When our Director of Photography realized how many Black Widows had seridipitously converged on Taylor Yard, he just had to line them up in formation for their mugshot.

Here is the same photo as above but with break-of-dawn lighting. Thank you, PhotoShop.

An elderly RS-1 switches the Interurban branchline. This is a great place for an engineer to have fun all by himself or herself, off on a isolated portion of the railroad.

Chris Keller recreated this classic photo at LAUPT. These are the three railroads most in evidence on our Glendale Model Railroad Club layout.

The local rolls into Butte Street Yard in this action shot.

Long before we modelers had "can motors" the SP had "can lights."

The engine servicing area at Taylor Yard is sandwiched between the yard tracks and the icing platform.

This SD-7 is going about its business on the club layout. This photo is a nice realistic trackside angle of view, we think.

A gloriously shiny Santa Fe Super Chief glides past a Southern Pacific local being worked by a tiger-striped roadswitcher.

A "pumpkin" SP F-unit shows up at the diesel servicing area of Taylor Yard.

Two of Uncle Pete's brute monsters show their snouts at Taylor Yard. These beauties belong to clubmember Tim Tschappat.

Don't let the blonde in the tight skirt distract you, this photo actually shows our FT in GM demonstrator colors.

It's not too often these days when a railfan is blessed with the vision of so many Black Widows all at once!!
