Title:  (3) The Daylight
Description:  Even as I took this shot, I was already starting to pull the camera away from my face. This was my first time ever seeing a mainline steam locomotive actually running at mainline speed. These photos do NOTHING to convey just how exciting it really was.

SP 4449 at BO Tower
Title:  SP 4449 at BO Tower
Description:  Passing where NYC's famous Dreyfuss Hudsons once tread, 4449 leads her train across the diamonds at BO Tower, one of Michigan's last manned interlockings. In today's world, seeing a mainline steam locomotive AND an active tower together is an incredibly rare occurance.
