This swayback coach is at the Colorado Railroad Museum. I didn't record its heritage, but it has obviously seen better days. To me, it looks too far gone for restoration. |
This is a scanned shot of a former Climax sitting near the engine shed at the Cass Scenic Railway in West Virginia. I don't know the heritage of this engine or if Cass intends to restore it. |
Along the Durango and Silverton there is are several sidings where tired old cars are stored, slowly rotting away. These appear to be a work car, probably dorms. This is the only shot that I got as I was fumbling to get more film in my camera. I would have truly loved to get some pictures of some really sad stock cars too. |
Railroad museums are a good place to find rotting junk. This formerly proud UP E9 has definitely seen better days. It is sitting on a storage track at the Illinois Railroad Museum. |
The rest of the engine wasn't in any better shape, but at least it was easy to seen the inner workings of a cab body type engine in a view not usually seen. |
I have lost traceability for this photo, but I believe that this decrepit RPO is also at the Illinois Railroad Museum. |
