It’s somewhere in the US. Engine is #98 but any railroad names either weren’t there or were removed

A glimpse into the breathtaking dining experience at the iconic Sheesh Mahal Restaurant onboard Palace on Wheels.

This place is a true masterpiece of Indian heritage luxury. The entire restaurant is inspired by traditional royal architecture, and what makes it truly special is the beautiful Thikri work — a delicate Rajasthani handicraft where tiny pieces of mirror are carefully embedded into the walls and ceilings. When light reflects on it, the whole space shines like a palace from a royal era.

It genuinely feels like dining inside a moving royal palace, where every detail reflects luxury, culture, and tradition blended perfectly.

A perfect example of why the Palace on Wheels is often considered one of the best luxury trains in the world

There were a few airplane fuselages behind it

Have to admit, they did a pretty damn good job with them! The Lady Liberty unit is absolutely fire. It looks fantastic! They did a great job with them overall. What do you guys think?

Hello train fans! I'd just like to invite everyone to our opening weekend at the Silver Creek and Stephenson County Railroad this Sunday and Monday may 24th and 25th! If you haven't heard of us I understand. We are a small railroad museum in Freeport IL with around 3 miles of track. We run a 1912 heisler fired by wood. I'm hoping to get the word out more on social media about us and even find volunteers that we could really use. Thank you for your time and have a wonderful weekend!

This is KMRY #4, a 1912 Baldwin 10-24 1/4 D91 (the one and only!) It was originally manufactured for the Klondike Mines Railway Company of Dawson City, YK, but only operated there for 2-3 summers. (The operations were seasonal, for the dredges couldn't stir up the ground in the winter.) After the KMRY closed, it sat in a shed throughout the 1920s and '30s until our good ol' friend WW2 came along. The White Pass & Yukon Route needed more motive power, due to an increase of traffic during war efforts, so this lil gal operated in Skagway as a switcher before travelling through the Midwest to many amusement parks and tourist railroads before winding up on the Georgetown Loop for display in the early 2000s('90s?). It sat there until it was bought by the Brantigan family, who moved it into its current home of Como, Colorado in 2016-17. It operated into I think 2021 before going down for a full overhaul, which is the state it is in today. The SPRS (South Park Rail Society) and others plan to restore it to operational condition, and hopefully to its 1912 appearance.

The CN&L was a 75-mile "pocket" railroad that ran from the midlands to the upstate of SC. Nicknamed the "Crooked, Noisy & Late," it began operations in 1891 and the herald was retired in 1984 when CSX acquired it from Seaboard.

Hi, I have really not more than extremly basic knowledge about trains, so sorry if the question is stupid, or the answer is obvious. Approximately two weeks ago, this train was passing me while waiting for another train. The train looked very clean and new, but it had all these cables and tape on the outside. What is it? Location: Austria. Sorry for the bad pics I had to take a video and later screenshot them out.

In one of the onboard talks on the Canadian (Toronto to Vancouver), an employee mentioned that we would be seeing a number of deteriorating poles along the side of the track which were telegraph lines used for communicating between stations.

Apparently the government decided it was too expensive to remove them and has left them to succumb to the elements. Some were even submerged in water (didn't get a photo) but since there is no electricity running anymore it's not a hazard.

I found that all pretty interesting so I took some photos!
