    A PRR main battle tank in the shop for turret repairs? :unsure:

    Actually, it was a mobile air compressor station for MOW crews that could be driven in to most anywhere. [Not my picture]

    Took this photo from our passenger window when the Mrs and I were in Milan in May. This is north of Milan, Italy heading to Paris, Fr. somewhere near the Italian/Swiss border. MOW equipment used to thread catenary conductors.

    In the early 90's, SP was conducting tie replacement on the hill, "Tehachapi". They dropped off all the equipment in the town of Tehachapi. Here is most every piece of equipment, plus the float trailers.
