Object of the game is to guess where the photo is located.
One member will post a photo, and then Others will try and guess the location. After at least 3 wrong guesses, the Member who posted the photo can give some hints. After 10 wrong guesses, the Author can post the answer, and then another member may post a new photo.If a photo is still active with people guessing, do not post a new photo, until the previous has been answered correctly by the Author of the photo, or a member's guess, with the Author's confirmation.Photo Guidelines:
-The photo must be clear, and have some geographical reference (Such as a landmark, attraction, etc)
-Must be railroad related
-Must be a clear photo
-Have Fun!I'll start you off. Guess the location of this photo.EDIT BY REQUEST: Photo's must be your ownJay

Garrett, Pennsylvania.EDIT: Was this picture taken at the Age of Steam Museum in Dallas? There is an M160 there, a CN F7 that looks the same way as the nose in the pic, and that steam locomotive is being restored currently, I believe it's SP. http://www.msnusers.com/highballphoto/santafephotos.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=125

NO it's not at the Age of Rust...errm... Steam. The 0-6-0 they are "restoring" is an old Dallas Union Terminal co. switcher.
That scene looks nothing like the Age of Rust.

No it wasn't. It was taken July, 2001 at Dallas Union Terminal, as Tim Frost pointed out.there is no Texas State RR museum. The Age of Steam (Age of Rust by the locals) is in Dallas. The Texas State RR is a steam powered tourist line run by the state between Rusk and Palestine.

I think you are sidetracked SSW...I am referring to another post from another member about a photo from my site of the ATSF Dooblebug taken at Dallas last year. I am not doubting where your photo was taken, as you would know more than I would seeing how you took it....Chris Bogley

Nope, the only passenger trains they've run yet have been for politicians, news media, etc. Certainly would have liked to have been on them. Although with the Seneca reservation casino being built in Salamanca, NY, there are talks for running passenger excursions on the WNYP to the casino from Hornell, NY.-----------------------------
