Perry, Kindig, Beebe & Clegg and a few others saw it looking pretty much like this long ago, before my time:

Not long after the long journey back from Colorado, it looked like this with Steamtown's 127 (CP 1278, of boiler explosion fame), on an excursion in Pennsylvania:

And here at Loveland, pre-silvered smokebox, in 1956:

And lest one think the 90 is the only Decapod running in pastoral countryside, take a look at this 9F on the Great Central Railway:

Dogonnit, Mitch, you are getting too good at those pan shots!

Thanks Jim.

My shoe box of gems was getting low and went out to resupply.
There are not so many open fields in the Summer at Strasburg.
The barn in my opinion actually distracts but it was the sharpest
photo of the bunch.

The other photo of #90 is amazing - I love the way it looks and
the composition of the photo is fantastic. Follow the second link.
The photo is from John West - just another in a series of incredible
photos he has posted at RP.

Oh, and Bobyar - thanks for noticing.
Lot's of photographers out there, nice to be singled out now and then.
