On this page, the first two are photos of the assemblage in England of the preserved Gresley A-4 Pacifics.  Mallard holds the "official" steam speed record of 126 mph.  IIRC, this assemblage commerated that feat.  The next pic looks to be a Welsh narrow gauge train.  The trolley is operated at the Lowell, Mass.  textile factory museum.  The steam loco is stuffed and mounted.  The loco No. 40 belongs to the New Hope and Ivyland RR at New Hope, PA, running in regular tourist service.  Shay No. 4 is on the Cass Scenic RR in Cass, WV.  The sidelined loco is unfamiliar.  The 2-10-0 is obviously European, and may be Russian.  The next pic is a British railfan trip.  The set of GG-1's are parked in Philadelphia.  In all likelyhood they are laying over during the Army-Navy football game before heading out with passenger extras when the game is over.  My guess is that the photo is probably late '50's/early '60's.
