NT&B's R-1 Chesapeake these were built shortly after the U-1 Centipedes to tackle the tighter curves of the cascade range, but they also found their uses as bankers for some grades or switchers in some major yards

NT&B R-1 533 hauls a string of loaded hoppers towards Kittitas, Washington

apparently the Erie roundhouse in port jervis was burned down by a firefighter because the city wanted the property does port jervis not care about their own history or somethin?

Studio 346 is a collection of artists, historians, & engineers joined in a common goal: to make our shared love & knowledge of railroading into a fun, meaningful experience. Since day 1, we’ve pledged never to use generative AI slop. Century of Steam always will be a game made for people, by people.

A poem on a paper background, surrounded by several roughly-drawn doodles of Rico and Dolores, Century of Steam's cartoon goat and deer mascots, respectively. The two of them are shown making various doodles and drawings of their own. The poem, in defense of human artistry against a pervasive deluge of AI slop, reads as such:

Art's an exclusively human endeavor,
Which sits at the crossroad of person and craft,
A people without craft is weary to weather,
A craft without people is soulless and daft.

To put onto canvas a thing by our hands
Comes with it a tangible part of our own,
So others may gaze at our self as it stands,
To know us and smile on what we have shown.

So long as real hands and real minds can assure,
Incredible works can be crafted and born,
Even if some hands are covered in fur,
And some minds are guarded by antler and horn.

But say I had sought out a local town baker,
To bake a confection I vaguely describe,
If I had told everyone I was the maker,
We'd all see the baker's betrayed by the lie.

So anywhere art is not crafted with care,
But stolen and churned into some unknown slurry,
Remember this warning to heed and beware,
Or else we may find ourselves lost in a hurry.

Do what you love, and love what you do,
But do it yourself, or it's not really you.

another Shawmut engine, 98 this one was a pusher for some grades on the road. at the time, it was so strong that it pushed cars off the tracks, and even its own tender once it was also Baldwin 30,000, so it may have been used in a similar way as 60,000 for a time before the PS&N got it

Pittsburgh Shawmut & Northern 98, also known as "The Curve Straightener"

this loco once gave an entire train flat wheels because its compressor was too weak, and yet it somehow pulled the entire train anyway russian decs are freakin strong

Pittsburgh Shawmut & Northern 81, or "The Damn Bolshevik" as it was known by crews
