46207 Princess Arthur of Connaught storms through the North London suburbs with The Mid-Day Scot in early 1961. The crimson Pacific and maroon coaches make for a smart-looking train.

46151 The Royal Horse Guardsman approaches Nuneaton with a northbound express in the early 1960's. Built in 1930 and rebuilt with a taper boiler in 1953, 6151 was an early withdrawal of a Royal Scot, being taken out of service in August 1962.

An official works photograph of 6103 Royal Scots Fusilier following rebuilding with a taper boiler in May 1943. 6103 was the first Royal Scot to be rebuilt following experience with 6170 British Legion. Looking at the Royal Scots, I've always thought that the rebuilt locomotives were better-looking. In their original parallel boiler form, I thought they looked too squashed up. The rebuilds had a much more balanced appearance.

Heading South por Chris Kemp Por Flickr: The Flying Scotsman finally moves from its winter home at Shildon in county Durham. The photo was taken just north of Northallerton on a very cold day. The train gods smiled on me this day as it stayed dry.

2012 Santa Train por SD80MAC_4103 Por Flickr: Canadian National used to run a very classy Santa Train every December, stopping at most of the major yards in the US so employees could bring their kids to meet the big guy. For many years, the locomotives used for this train were their sleek pair of Illinois Central E9s. Painted in an attractive silver and black paint scheme, these classic “E Units” were built in 1949 and were the epitome of the Art-Deco era of streamlining. The Santa Train is seen here at River Rouge, splitting the signals after having just crossed the Rouge River.
