    Hmm.. not sure. I know progressive rail has a bay window.. but odds that it's the same one? that'd be pretty cool ;)

    Is theirs repainted? It'd be fun to see if some day they'd paint back into historic colors?

    This style looks somewhat familiar. Any hints of it's heritage?

    Wow. An odd looking car, to the right of that caboose. What is it used for...?

    That's quite a colorful wreck train! Interesting to see that BCR (BCOL) car. Is it part of a collection? Or somehow still in revenue service?

    Nice to see these. Sure hope their operation will survive.

    I wonder how it is to actually live in one of these? Rather small quarters. But, insulation? Hot in summer? Cool in winter? Etc? How much money invested to make a cab truly a living space?

    I'd heard but the switch to trucks. Did anyone hear a reason why? Is it merely costs? Or is there more?

    This caboose is a work of art by itself. Should be preserved!

    Is that Curecanti sign something actually original?

    Doesn't look quite as "dignified" as a true caboose. But, it's still a tail end car.

    If only we could go back to when this view was commonplace.

    They feel limited to the communities they can serve. They want to go to more places than those that have rail service.

    Nice page! That black ballast, I'd guess, is from copper. Slag, or leakage from trains. Maybe they should clean the ballast. Might be some $$$ in there. Ha ha. 2010? Hmmm. I'd guess the same party still owns the line?

    That is the best shade of green. The yellow contrasts perfectly.

    I'd like to see repaint photos. Do you know what type paints were applied? Hope it's something that will stand up for a long time.
