OK, the last two contests ended a little faster than normal. Here's your next mystery location, which I hope will give more ppl a chance to locate.
I'm certainly stumped at this point. A good head scratcher. But it wouldn't be any challenge nor much fun if too easy.
Aside from BNSF, MRL can only access one other railroad. At one point- Which is UPRR at Sandpoint, Idaho.
West of the Mississippi, and Missouri northward, I cannot think of any Class III in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, etc, which would connect with four Class 1 companies. Westward from there, you only have BNSFand UP, so I lean eastward. Horst filter box? On the engine below the white building? I don't see one which is obvious.
I need to clarify something here, which I didn't see before, sorry. They don't connect to the 4 class I RR directly, but through a partnership with a class II RR.
I can think of a few. Something light is obscuring the walkway in shadow, and look at the shadow on the ground.
I saw that shadow on the ground. But it did not really seem like a yoke style filter box. After several tries with a couple of different photo editing programs, I can now see it better. Could be....
I've got two statements for today, not clues since I'm gonna answer/verify some of what you've been writing about. BoxcabE50 narrowed the search area correctly. It is a Horst air filter, if its that bulky thing on the locos "shoulder" you're talking about.
There's a SW7 and a GP10 among the locos of which there are 3. I was asked in an earlier thread to give a tutorial on, how to find these locations so fast, and I wrote a link to a website where also this RR is represented. Happy hunting - This was the last hint in this contest, unless it isnt located by friday.
I've looked and looked. GP10 information. A Class III Pennsylvania and eastward, with four Class I RRs which could be accessed via a Class II. A three engine roster, including an SW7 and GP10. Nothing matches. Went through that site noted from the tutorial, Pennsylvania, New England vicinities. Nothing seems to match. Every one I try has a different roster from the "three" hint.
If you've been through the list, then you've seen it. When you write: "every one I try has a different roster from the "three" hint" Then if I get this right, you mean that the third roster doesn't match a SW7 or a GP10. If I understood you correctly, then yes, the third roster isn't a SW7 or a GP10, it's something else. Just get back on it, its there.
