105 year old steam locomotive in nearby Poway is nearing boiler replacement time.. it's only been 75 years since the last one

story from http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jul/05/old-locomotive-running-out-steam/ 

it gets a tourist run 2wice a month, but the boiler is just OLD and patched for the last time.

the engine is a 1907 Baldwin, and is at the Poway park with the train restoration faciltiy (cool place that I went to in 2007 http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/06/any-day-around-trains-is-good-day.html )

Cool things found in the blog "Progress is fine, but it's gone on for too long"

 Beer run! Filling up belly tanks with beer for the guys that just stormed the beach at Normandy

 probably looks like any old tank at first, but then, did you see that there are 4 tracks? Not the usual two

 Peter Sellers

 yup, it's a real Bugatti, factory racer

 amphib plane, stored in a hanger because getting it flying would take 2 fortunes and a winning mega millions lotto ticket

 a new image of the Count de Sakhnoffsky designed been truck, and this is a info card that was handed out at the trucks display... front above, and the reverse side below . For the gallery: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html

 terrific album cover art

 the cat tracks added onto the tractor give it so much more traction

a wheel pattern only used on Canadian trains, it looked familiar to me, and I remembered the train at the Nethercutt museum http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/private-pullman-palace-railcar-century.html

locomotive collision... must have been at very low speed, probably they couldn't apply enough brakes to avoid the hit.

I have no idea how long I've been looking at this photo, and not posting it. I can't recall where it came from 

1910 Salem Massachusetts train station

this is just a small part of http://www.shorpy.com/node/9975?size=_original and the building is the same as the below photo

Look out for the engine! Railroad crossing sign (1910)

unusual driven wheel design, because it wasn't effective. 1887 Swinerton

Swinerton Locomotive Driving Wheel Company, the locomotive was built by the Hinkley Locomotive Works in Boston in 1887.

The essence of the innovation, which emphasized the construction for the single leading axle was to make wheel contact with the rail in a much larger area (a length of at least two inches), which was supposed to radically raise the quality of the locomotive traction by reducing the likelihood of slippage of the driving wheel on the rail.
