    Happy Holidays all, Happy Boxing Day in particular.

    It's been a busy couple of days. Yards have been quiet around here and I've not gotten out anyway. I'm hoping to next week, gas tank willing.

    "Brown Season at Aurelia"
    The Northgate Local plies the rails of the Crosby and Niobe Subs on its trek to the international border at Northgate, its namesake. At Aurelia, ND, the branch soars over a coulee on a fill and wooden trestle over a creek.

    I'm going to continue the "Stuffed and Mounted" theme with this tribute to Ephraim Shay preserved in Cadillac, Michigan.

    Wild looking B&O wagon-top style with some trucks I have never seen before. Maybe I'm missing it, but it looks like no bottom door track, either. Those gamers... :p

    I've got a few wooden boxes similar to those in the picture. The national guard at Camp Grayling used to throw them away, scavengers would pick them up and they showed up for sale for $4 each at every gas station in the north country. They're handy for all kinds of things. I use them to carry my woodworking tools between home and the cabin as needed. I think they were originally used to transport mortar rounds or something similar. Not entirely sure.

    It is a wierd looking car. The trucks are unusually located, far inward from the end sills. Someone wasn't quite familiar enough with freight cars?
