More industrial switching, please.

Here is something from ~10yrs ago on my previous layout.  If you squint your eyes a little, you can glimpse an industrial switcher on the dock...

Show me some more switching, industrial or "lineside"

My favorite Logo is the SP Golden State, mainly because at the ripe old age of 13 I was a passenger on the Golden State from LA to El Paso.
 

 
More Logos Please.

Here is a photo from my website of UP Challenger #3985 rounding the curve at the west end of the BRVRR layout at the head of a short excursion train.

Show me another articulated steam locomotive.
