    Those SPV-2000 units look like the offspring of an RDC and an Amfleet coach.:cautious:

    Just read up on those - they weren't mechanically reliable and only 31 were built. Oh, Budd... what happened? The RDC's were solid and reliable (some are still running!) and this... :(

    A nice four-unit FT set still running - and clean - nearing 20 years of service. They took good care of their locos!:)

    Looks like something on the AT&SF? Beautiful station, though. I like the stonework.

    I zoomed in and it looks like Boulder. The Wikipedia page for the Boulder station looks very similar-if it is the same, at some point after it was preserved/restored/moved the little tower was added/returned.

    Nice. I'm not certain, but that looks like Asheville. Roundhouse is gone today and much of the rail traffic too. :(

    Looks like it is a bar of some sort called the Boulder Roadhouse now.

    It's the Roadhouse Boulder Depot.

    I'll have the Prime Dip - shaved prime rib on a toasted hoagie roll with au jus dip, creamy horseradish sauce and fries.
