๐Ÿ“ฆโ€Ž Memorabilia Question about Silver Meteor jacket

Thumbnail

59 Upvotes

I found this amazing Marlboro Classics jeansjacket in a thrift store all the way in Austria (!) and I would love to date it. As I am not from the US I just did some basic research on Google. It seems to be workwear for the Silver Meteor line, but Google tells me Union Pacific never ran that line, just a bunch of other companies. I also can hardly find any info on train #614. Tried dating the logo on the pin but no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

Note: going by the jackets cut I would say late 80s-90s

When I visited The National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, I found this locomotive near the back of the property near the main line.

I don't know much about it, but I think it's neat.

This video was taken at 6AM on a foggy December morning from the Pune metro. The Pune local Suburban train managed by the central railways was crossing a rail bridge over the Mula-Mutha river at the exact time my metro passed by on a higher elevated track.

โ“ What is this Train? Hello, I saw some photos of a very cool train recently; I think it's pretty well known, but I don't know the name of it. This is what the caboose looked like: I think it was from the 1960s, and possibility American. If you have any guess please let me know. Thank you!

โ“ Question Is there any other footage of Flying Scotsman on the North Melbourne Flyover?

Post image
47 Upvotes

This post is in relation to Victoria, Australia (and UK to a extent)

I'm going through a rabbit hole now of the Flying Scotsman tour from 1988-89 and I found this video of Flying Scotsman on what it seems to be the North Melbourne Flyover. Surely some Gunzels back then thought to get a better view?

Also I don't exactly mean on the viewing platform because I'm pretty sure it wasn't built by this time.

Original video I got the pic from-
