The shot brings back a torrent of pleasant memories. I spent the first six years of my life in Seattle and with my dad being a train nut there were many trips to King Street and the NP roundhouse a little ways South. I remember my dad used to get his haircut in the station and was friends with the barber. Having relatives in the area we made frequent trips back. I took my first train pix at the NP roundhouse of a couple of 0-6-0 and 4-8-4 2626. The camera was a Kodak Starflash(I think that's what it was called) so the negatives are not the greatest but they sure hold a place of honor in my mind. Thanks for bring back these memories.
