Found one! Be right back...

Dave, thanks for the link! Turns out there was one less than two miles from my house! Sorry for the subpar quality my phone captures

Looks like good picture of a nice bike to me. ANd, yep, looks like a full size coal fired steam locomotive to me.
Yep, full size, but a smaller one, a 0-6-0. All rides on the 6 drive wheels.
But proably could not tell if it was wood fired, but definaitly isnt a diesel-electric.
I just like to imagine what it was like to shovel in the coal (or better yet, tell tell the fireman to shovel in more) and operate one of those things. And to think how many of them there used to be.
I have visited/rode a few operating steam locmotives over the years.
Oh, and the engineer would not tell fireman to "shovel in more", he would tell the fireman which type of coal (they often carried 2 or 3 or more types) and would tell fireman weiter to put in front or in back of the firebox (front would heat the steam for quicker responce, back would heat the water for more power later on). Would have to do that knowing the terrain ahead.

By the way, what place and engine is that? THe one car that can see just the front of looked like might be a passenger car.
(later note: I see number 31 on the list for IL)

Anyway, back to the tag game.....


And.... what other interesting thing/place do you present for the next "tag"....?
(I dont think it is required to wait for verification. No question in this case).

Sorry for the hold up gang, I'll snap one tonight for tomorrow for the next tag

[Mr Toga]

Sorry for the delay everyone. Anyway, the new tag is ice skating rink. Here is the one closest to me. It is also my place of employment (I drive the Zamboni ). Note: it must be an ICE rink

I drive the Zamboni

Hey!! I think Brad ( bradleymaynar) drives a Zamboni too...

We need pictures of the zambonies to see who drives the coolest zamboni!

I can't believe I just read every post in this thread

I'll have to see if I can borrow the 250 Rebel for the next one. The nearest ice rink is ~20 miles away, and I dont want to risk the poor guy on the highway.

I think every town in Minnesota has its own ice arena! Here's one from the next city over...




...chosen because it's on the way to the next tag. Don't know if we've done a drive-in theater before. Must be operational!

Allthough.... there is one in Muskegon.

shows 9 drive in theaters once operated in my city, but all are now closed.

I believe we have exactly zero drive-ins in NJ. There's a Lowe's in town where ours used to be . There's one well within riding distance in Warwick NY, but I'm a slacker.

[DanTheMan]

I know of one, but it hasn't been in use for many years.......
