This web site is a gallery of miscellaneous steam locomotive photos. While some of these images are mine, most came from other sources. Those on this page are from the United States, while those in The Canada Collection are from railroads operating in that country.
Of the images on this page, a few were part of my father's small collection of railroad photographs. Others were taken by my brother, Rev. David V. Leonard of Binghamton, New York, or came from his collection. A group of Illinois Central photos are the work of the late Bruce Meyer, familiar in Midwest railfan circles, and his brother David Meyer, whom I knew while living in Bloomington, Illinois during my high school and college years. Gary P. Thompson of Normal, Illinois has contributed several views from his collection. Tom Rock of Cleveland, Tennessee (T.D.R. Productions) provided several Illinois Central and other images. Robert Leffingwell loaned a number of photos of Baltimore & Ohio, Nickel Plate and other Midwestern railroads he took in the 1950s.
Additionally, Jerry A. Tyler of Whitehall, Michigan contributed several Grand Trunk Western images, and Wayne Koch of Croton-on-Hudson, New York has shared a variety of photos from his collection. Some images have been scanned from postcards, and another group comes from photos appearing in the 1951 edition of World Railways, jointly published in 1951 by Rand McNally & Company in the U.S. and Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd. in Great Britain.
Some well-known photographers whose work can be credited here include James Adams, H. W. Pontin, and J. R. Reid, but many of these images are of unknown origin and often the dates and locations of the photos are also unavailable. Where I have information about the source I give credit where credit is due.
For an assortment of miscellaneous steam locomotives taken by me, or by my father Dr. Richard D. Leonard, visit the "Miscellaneous Railroads" page in Richard Leonard's Steam Locomotive Archive. In that Archive you will also find pages devoted to my steam engine photography for several specific railroads: the Burlington Route, Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Western, Illinois Central, New York Central, Nickel Plate and Union Pacific. (Some alternate views of locomotives appearing in the Steam Locomotive Archive are presented in this Random Steam Collection instead.) More GTW photos appear in David Leonard's CNR-GTW Steam Gallery, 1958. Additionally, we offer a web site devoted to my photos of Union Pacific Big Boys and Challengers. Our New York Central Collection includes photos of steam locomotives, mostly from others but some of my own. A page of Alton Route Steam presents photos from several sources. For some entertaining speculation about steam locomotives that were never built, visit my Fantasy Steam Page.
Click on the selections below to bring up a full size image with commentary. You can also page through the collection sequentially. For further enjoyment, explore all the links at left. As we prize accuracy in our commentaries on these photos, please report any errors or serious omissions to rleonard@railarchive.net.
