    Well, I have a grainy video of a UP SD59MX, T4 gevo and SD60m moving about Roseville yard at 10pm tonight. I'll try to load it this weekend, what about everyone else?

    D&H on former LV main at Glen Onoko, PA, July 1980. All three builders here -- Alco, EMD and GE. The CNJ's main was once on the slightly higher elevation to the right.

    I found this drawing hanging in the 10th Mountain Division Hut that we spent the night in while snow shoeing along the Continental Divide west of Tennessee Pass.

    If that's how the real depot appeared, very cool. Begs to be modeled.

    How is this operation doing today? I recall that a first operator stumbled somewhat. Is the coal downturn having an effect?

    There are photos of it in one of my Rio Grande books. Yeah, it was a really cool building. I have skied by where it used to stand a few years ago but there is nothing left of it.

    It's not just begging to be modeled, it's screaming to be modeled! :D

    In real estate I think they'd call that a fixer-upper.

    Candy, just a guess, but the P&LE car, and possibly a Michigan Central car in the distance suggests northern Ohio. Hopefully a member who's an archivist, may remember seeing or hearing about the Hoyt B&P Poultry Co. There's also the partially hidden advertisement just to the left of the telltale pole that someone might recognize.

    I see what appears to be "FIC" on the tender. Guessing that is PACIFIC. MP, NP, SP, UP, T&P and?

    I don't believe it is SP or NP. Lettering isn't correct for NP.
