A VERY odd camera angle, if that's a church in Wisconsin.
That water in the background sure looks like the Soo Locks. 
Ignore my obnoxious nit-picking.  That's a beautiful model in a beautiful setting. I like the big granite boulders supporting the front lawn. They look like something from the north country, as does that undulating blacktop road.

Scsshaggy - Very good! That is the Soo Locks.
Back ground was a family project. Wife snapped the picture.
I photoshopped it including adding buildings to the other end.
My son who was at the time a graphic artist borrowed his employer's printer to print it off.
The Fox River Valley Railroad is set in Wisconsin but there is no attempt to replicate any real places.
I pretty much borrowed place names. Thanks for the compliments!
Better shot of the back drop.

I am pretty sure kerosene existed by 1860. I believe there was also a coal derived lamp oil.
The oil head lamps were said to be just bright enough to show you what you were just about to hit.

A last look at 5 British steam locomotives waiting on the ready storage tracks awaiting assignment.
They represent 4 different class of Pacific type locomotives. Soon they will be reassigned to other divisions of the PGW.

Another hot day in West Texas. But cool activity seen today.
Mexican National Railway units gliding thru downtown El Paso Texas on a warm late afternoon run.
Newly repainted colors shine off the late afternoon sun in this historic part of town.

Great photo Jeff. Next we see a North Carolina and Saint Louis E7 engine pass thru Wilton West Virginia last year.
Hopefully service will return to that area in a few years for more railfan reports and photos.

Activity in the yards as an excursion train pulls onto the local track from the main line track.
