Drat. I had a rare chance to shoot some MOW equipment in Richmond the other day, but not only did I not avail myself of the opportunity, it would have been a day too early. Maybe next week.

Darn I missed this one and I actually have a picture that would fit the criteria. Took a shot of an Amtrak California bus at LA's Union Station plus a baggage cart on Friday but missed the submission deadline!!:tb-hissyfit: The cart was posted to my album yesterday can I get a waiver? lol:crying:
Go ahead and post them before it is officially closed. Mark is busy riding Amtrak right now so you may be able to sneak something in.
LA Baggage carts that looked to be as old as LA's Union Station (1938) Which is used to get baggage from the trains to the buses and terminal After leaving LAUPT I went by Filmore on the way back to my room and saw Filmore and Western's Boom truck and #18 steamer at the end of the day and thier speeder, looking ready to go.

Hello, sorry for the delay. I had some difficulties getting connected again. Anyways, now I'm online and we can start the voting! Poll will be posted shortly.
No worries, Mark. Nice entries everybody! P.S. to N-Builder: I moved your photo to the Cutting Room Floor thread as it wasn't taken over the last weekend but a few years back.
