The Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro of São Paulo, Brazil, ran five of these "Little Joe" Russa electrics along with 10 of the newer GE 5200 locomotive.

More non-North American railways, please.
gmpullmanAnyone else? Canadian subsidiary running in the U.S.
Actually, there were at least a couple others...

G PaineShow me something from a Canadian subsidiary that runs in the USA
The Grand Trunk Western fits that bill:

Anyone else? Canadian subsidiary running in the U.S.
On Boothbay Railway Village, one of the roads we model is Grand Trunk which originates in Portland, ME and is a CN subsidiary
GP9 GT 4456 is often paired with CN 1720 for display running, and similar combos were common in practice

Thanks Wayne!
I wish to be a another participant before I hit the rack.
Just believe me she was a real Canadian in her time.
More freight cars with Canadian Road names please, per Wayne's request.

Track fiddler...More freight cars made in Canada please.
The TH&B was my hometown railroad, and hoppers like this had a long service life hauling coal for both the railroad and the local steel mills...
More Canadian roadnames on railroad cars, please.
Okay close enough.
It used to be a Canadian, now it's somewhere in North Dakota Ah!
At least I'm playing by the rules now.
More Canadians please.
Long Live Canada eh!
Sorry I couldn't resist.
It's a 351 Windsor which was an engine made in Canada unlike the 351 Cleveland.
More freight cars made in Canada please.
HarrisonHow about another Canadian freight car, Eh?
One with a rainbow of colours?

More freight cars from Canadian roads, please.
*spoiler alert* this is what I'll be posting about in WPF this week. It's my first weathering attempt.
How about another Canadian freight car, Eh?

gmpullmanAny more copies of Brent's cars?
Yeah, a couple of them. Brent, I'm uncertain if the boxcar in the foreground is the same as this one, but it at least has the stacked Canadian/Pacific/Railway...
...but I'm pretty sure that that Dominion-Fowler boxcar in the distance is a CPR car...
Since we're here, how about showing us another freight car from a Canadian railroad, please.
BATMANCan someone show me a copy of any of the cars in this photo?
Got the Swift Reefer but I can't tell if your outside braced box car is CN or GTW? Mine's GTW

Here's a red boxcar, a CP Rail with the multimark.
Show me another boxcar of any color, please. ((Bonus is still valid if it is a SGRR car!))

A week ago I would not have been able to fulfill this request. Thanks, Kevin!

It would be hard to get this view of my layout...
Wayne: "How about some more of those not-normally-viewable scenes, please."
Here is my favorite, not-normally-viewable image from the BRVRR.
More not-normally-viewable images, please.
Remember its your railroad

That's a great looking scene, Ed, with good depth of field, too!
gmpullmanAnother scene, please, where a normal viewing is not possible without a camera or periscope.
A quick look in only one of my photobucket albums yielded over a dozen photos taken with the camera on-layout, allowing views otherwise unseen. Depite that threatening-looking sky, this is one of my favourites, taken with a 2 megapixel point-and-shoot camera...
After adding the above photo, I copied it from photobucket, then edited-out the "sky"....
How about some more of those not-normally-viewable scenes, please.
doctorwaynePlease show me a picture taken with the camera on your layout, which let you view a scene from an angle which you wouldn't normally be able to see.
My big noggin wouldn't fit inside the roundhouse, this I'm quite sure of!

Another scene, please, where a normal viewing is not possible without a camera or periscope.
SeeYou190Show me another blue automobile.
Here's a blue roadster at the Elfrida station...
...but I hadn't noticed, when I took the photo, that the background is actually that of the town across the aisle. One of the benefits of occasionally putting the camera on the layout, looking back towards the aisle, yielding views that we'd otherwise never see.

Shall we find a red automobile?
gmpullmanThey used to make 'em BIG back in the day!
.
They still do. Check out the ring gear on this MAN diesel engine!
OK... back to our normally scheduled Show Me Something...
doctorwaynePlease show us some more open loads, whether on open cars, or in cars with open doors.
Show me another blue automobile.

Living the dream.
gmpullmanPlease show me another flat car, loaded or empty.
Here's a little of both.
First the flatcar, from a Tichy kit, with the beginning of a load...
...some progress...
...getting loaded, not out of a bottle, but with the barrels from Bic pens...
...second course of pipe...
...and fully-loaded...
I still need to add some wedges, as used on pipe loads of this type, to keep things from rolling around, but the prospect of doing several cars keeps it from being at the top of my to-do list.
Please show us some more open loads, whether on open cars, or in cars with open doors.
Wow, ... Thanks for getting back to me Ed. I find this kind of stuff really interesting.
And that picture of that bigger Cog with the guy standing next to it. Man! he does look small in comparison. I hope you don't mind I copied that one
Thanks Ed
Okay then, let's carry on with our regular scheduled program
Track fiddlerAnd that's a heck of a large Cog it's hauling.
They used to make 'em BIG back in the day!
Mesta-Cog by Edmund, on Flickr
Track fiddlerHow many few inches does that thing ride above the rails in the center anyway?
I believe I read the specs on these cars and it was 4½". That may have been the even bigger Queen Mary FD2 depressed-center car. ([edit] I just checked the diagram and the car floor has a 7-5/8" clearance above the rail).
Some well cars were open on the bottom. This is actually a shop car in the photo but there were several styles of open cars.
Mesta-Cog_0001 by Edmund, on Flickr
Then another animal were the Schnabel cars where the load was actually part of the car structure. Bachmann made a pretty decent representation.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled Show Me
Regards, Ed
Sweeeeet!
I actually have never seen a depressed center heavy hauler well car Ed. And that's a heck of a large Cog it's hauling.
How many few inches does that thing ride above the rails in the center anyway?
Carry on.
Track fiddlerMore six wheel trucks please.
Well, well, how about a PRR F33 well car?

Please show me another flat car, loaded or empty.
Thanks Wayne.
I didn't feel like getting out my camera and taking a fresh one.
A little out-dated as it was a Christmas time picture two years ago.
More six wheel trucks please.
gmpullmanShow me a freight car with six axles, please.
Perhaps not exactly what you ordered, but it's the only freight car I have with more than four axles...
...although there are some similar 50'ers, too...
Please show us some freight cars riding on six axles.
doctorwayneShow us some more steel boxcars or reefers, please.
These P30a and P78 PRR steel boxcars were pressed into troop sleeper service at the beginning of the War:

After the War they returned to merchandise duty, some lasting into the late 1960s.
