    Paint scheme, well.... Not bloody nose, but maybe we could call it bloody cab.

    So I guess this should be the last clue, but let's see how long time it's gonna take.

    I keep getting distracted by various projects. If still not solved tomorrow morning, I'll do some serious thinking...

    That's what I thought. But, after looking around a bit, I'm not so sure!
    I'm starting to think maybe those are auto racks instead.
    Still searching a little bit.

    Found it! Buckingham Branch Railroad in Staunton,VA!

    Had thought it might be that railroad, but didn't know what shops they had outside of Doswell (which I checked).

    I thought about auto racks, but these look a little short and the roofs didn't seem quite correct. Does the Buckingham Branch do some sort of passenger excursions?

    the funny thing is, I was thinking of Buckingham Branch, but I noticed there was a lack of Red on the locomotive. I now figured out that it's BB #12 an unpainted ex KCS GP40-3
