How about a "lost" C&O 2-10-4 in the Alberta foothills.

Show me something else that is "lost".

Well, A C&O in Canada so it's only fair that we show a Canadian car in Virginia.

 

Please show another something else lost,

Bob

Burlington Northern’s loss is Santa Fe’s gain. This old BN spreader clears a mountain pass in California.

Please show me something "borrowed"

New York Central "borrowed" some C&NW bi-levels? That's a stretch—but that's why we enjoy this hobby so much!

Show me more borrowed, loaned or shared equipment...

It has been more than a day, and no replies. This is a bit of  a stretch, but here goes:

A Bangor & Aroostook reefer that traveled west on ATSF to Califiornia for the harvest season. It is getting iced up on the Boothbay Railway Village layout

Show me some reefers from a western road

Reefers on the team track are incidental to the beauty shot of the locomotive.

Show us more reefers.

This propane tanker was turfed out of the train because of a troublesome truck. The guy next to the pickup truck is promising the manager of the grain elevator he will have it fixed and off his siding lickity split.

Show me something else from B/A (British American oil company) or something from BAPCO (British American Paint Company)

A quick shot of my newest, an IHC/Mehano camelback. Got this one in late January and I'm pretty happy with it.

Let's see some more camelbacks.

2-8-0

Denver Midland No. 132 is a large 2-8-0, but she's still the smallest engine on the current roster.

Show me more steam please.
