Which is the most modern?

[image deleted]
The railmotor 93 on the left was built in 1908 and ran on the Great Western Railway. The Iron Duke on the right was built in 1985 and is a replica of the original broad gauge 1847 steam loco - note the width of the rails. Sadly only the railmotor is now able to run. Interesting pieces historical engineering.

I love rail museums. There's one in PA that I could spend a lot of time in.

@SW-User This was taken at Didcot Railway Centre in England. It's dedicated to preserving the history of original Great Western Railway.

@sunsporter1649 I've been and am always amazed at the size of some of those locomotives.

@SW-User Head for Baltimore, the museum there is special, too.
