Hanged: Future tense
Hung: Past tense

Wow. That's creative. But it's not right.

If "hanged" was some exotic future tense, the we would say "The painting is going to be hanged on the wall" We don't say that.

The phrase "to be hanged" is passive infinitive, formed by "to be" + past participle of the verb.

The past tense and past participle of hang is hung except when the thing being <hanged/hung> is a person. then it's hanged. It's just one of the dozens of irregular verbs in English.

Not normally one for trains, but to my untrained eyes, some excellent pictures.

Half of them are from a site called RailPictures.net and only allow pictures of the best quality (there are aircraft versions like jet photos). The pics of 86628 were also from that site, as is this for 618:

Car or train picture?

This is rather nice, The Heber Valley Railroad in Utah, February 2007.

'The secret is out, the Heber Valley is the place to be for winter steam photography! Annie Bruehl waits at the Edwards Lane crossing for UP 618 to pass by her completely original 1953 Buick.'

The mighty Italian class E636!! (469 built between 1940 and 1962, delayed due to the war obvs - The earliest ones were some of the trains that Mussolini famously tried to run on time. I bet even Hitler travelled behind at least one of them!
They were only withdrawn in 2006 after a career spanning 66 years, so real dinosaurs!).

This is preserved E636 265 and oldest survivor, E636 002, along with a later class E645 and an E424 (also both preserved), all of similar appearance.

The front end came about for streamlining but also because apparently they wanted a design where the driver could hang out of the cab and watch the buffers when shunting. I do wonder quite how sucessful it was though:

This one now resides in a museum in Augsburg, Germany (but that picture is taken of it still in Italy as that is the preserved E636 117 behind):
