Saving this from page 2,

Will we give unique/unusual locomotive another shot?

Rebuilt from 2 horrific wrecks, the Mt Airy & Western's #13 wears an experimental hi- vis paint scheme.

Show me a unique/unusual/odd piece of rolling stock, powered or not!

 Here is something you don't see every day, a BL 2

 

 Here's a real one.

 

 Think it has the same power plant as a F3 and maybe trucks. Frame was not as strong so they where not around long. But, there is still one in services, if you search U Tube you will find a link.

 So, something else odd would be great!

Kind of funny:

Tristan (the plush duck in the photo) was riding along on Goose #5 when it derailed.  I think he fell off and pushed the Goose over.  Not sure exactly what happened as my sister was running the Goose.  But the resulting photo is kind of funny.  It even looks like he is frowning.

Show me something else you think is funny.
