Good call, Brent! Snacks for top-of-the-page in Show Me? Might bring in some more customers! I'll have a Spiced rum with Coke, please. Pepsi always seemed too sweet for me.

Ed: "More of anything abandoned, reduced or no longer used, please."

 

Placing the new Black River Station required the removal of the Commuter/RIP track and the turnout that accessed the track. Here the track and switch have been removed and the old ballast and ground cover with it. I decided to leave the track bumper in place, at least for now.

Same as above, please.

More abandonded or reduced trackage please.

I've got this spot near a drawbridge that was a former double track crossover that has now been reduced to a passing siding where the single track passes through the bridge:

A thing that happened occassionally here.

In the U.S. there was a bit of a switcheroo when the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana had requested Nickel Plate Road to donate Berkshire 767 to the city since this engine had led the first train through town on a new, elevated right-of-way.

At the time the 767 was in poor shape so NKP had switched number plates and repainted the cab number to make the 765 as a reasonable stand-in.

 IMG_5439 by Edmund, on Flickr

For a while in 2016 the Fort Wayne Historical Society returned the 767 number to the stand-in 765.

Ed  Just read the following  --

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Coronation_Class_6220_Coronation


The red   6220- 'Coronation'  was actually   6229 Duchess of Hamilton?   6220  remained in the U.K.   A thing that happened occassionally here.

 

Here is 6220  in blue.

 L&NE had a few steel pass cars, but they were red for mow work, and arrived on the property after pass service ended. .  From common practice, this is a good estimation of what they would have looked like if those cars had seen service .

 

More More would have been pass cars or ficticious pass cars
