    The Temple depot from the train on March 8, 2011. Unfortunately the museum collection in front of the depot is not protected and has been heavily vandalized in the last few years.

    Nice one, Hardcoaler! Those cars would probably have been ordered to ship automotive parts, probably transmissions. Something in between the heavy axles and engines, weight-wise, but lighter than stampings of body panels.

    Beautiful. BLT 15 years ago (if I read the stencil correctly), and yet unsullied by the rattle can artist community.

    I think it is more like 2-80, so 41 years old. In MOW tie service now. Still very impressive to last this long unsullied.
