Nice shot, I have always thought the 819 as a most classic looking locomotive.

What a sight to see - shame she's no longer plying the high iron. The south surely misses mainline steam, as do we alll miss SSW #819.

"The Old 819" is housed in my hometown of Pine Bluff Arkansas and I was lucky enough to been on two excursions between Pine Bluff and Fordyce in the late 1980's. It would be a wonderful thing to see her back on mainline rails, but short of a UPRR regime change I don't think that it will happen.
