A glimpse in the sad fate of a steam locomotive...career completed, souvenirs taken, and set out on the 'dead track'!

Awesome shot, thanks for sharing! A million thoughts run through my mind as I look at this, one. I can't see these being towed south.

663 is the last Challenger ever built.

Makes you want to cry.

Nothing worse then American iron being scrapped and "The Dead Line".

I lament that our preservation movements of that era were nowhere up to that of the UK. They managed to save many beautiful steam engines. Of course, steam lasted a tad bit longer over there.

The light puffy clouds barely visible above the front two locomotives makes it look as if, there's a tad of smoke and steam still coming out of them.
