Back at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, here's what to my mind represents the boxiest of boxcabs, the PRR B1. It packed 3000 hp into 32 feet of length. The Museum is still only open limited hours, check their website. Catching sight of one of these in action in Sunnyside Yard was a highlight of trips to New England in my younger days. I don't know if these locos worked in Union Station in DC.
About 20 years ago, these two old Detroit and Mackinac ALCOs, S1 646 and RS2 468 (I think) sat at the Alpena roundhouse. In spite of the railroad now being operated by Lake State Railway, they were stored still in the as delivered maroon and grey D&M livery.
Canadian Pacific 144: The oldest surviving steam loco in Canada, a 4-4-0 built by the CP in its own shops in March 1886 for mixed service on light branch lines, rebuilt 1914 at CP Angus shops (including a new steel cab to replace the wooden one), retired in 1959 after 73 years of service!

Well, it's no longer the weekend, but on Tuesday I was at the regular weekday meeting of the Sebring Model Railroad Club. You may remember that a couple weeks ago there was a MoW track repair train parked across the mainline from our club. So, it wasn't terribly surprising that after that crew moved on, this week the ballast crew arrived. Sent from my moto g(7) play using Tapatalk
I'm really liking these new hoppers that have the Milwaukee Road "Ribside" look to them! I've seen a couple of BNSF ones now too, painted in the "earthworm color with swoosh.
