That's a nice all B&O train, Bob!  I like that caboose/boxcar...could it be called a combine?  What is it really??  Interesting.

Oh, the dockside looks great too!!!

It's a work train set from MTH  honestly haven't researched it's 1:1 prototype. I thought it was a cool set so I bought it. I wanted it for the Docksider mostly  😎

Western Pacific 657 composite bay caboose converted in 1943 from a 1916 era Pullman Standard composite boxcar by the WP Jeffrey shop in Sacramento. It now resides at the Nevada State Railroad Museum at Carson City.

 

 

The PRR used the X23 as a basis to fill a shortage of cabooses during WWII.  A total of 75 boxcars were converted into NX23 during 1943.

The Western Maryland tunnel under Mt Savage between Frostburg, Md and Deal, Pa.

               Savage Mt Tunnel

The WM alignment from Pittsburgh to Cumberland is now the Great Allegheny Passage Rail Trail. Thus you can bicycle from Pittsburgh to Washington DC on scenic rail trail and canal trail(C&O Canal from Cumberland to DC).

I used to bicycle a lot, but arthritis, bad knee, and now back would keep me from it.  My wife hasn't been able to ride a bike for 20 years probably.  My daughter's in-laws are 18 and 21 years younger than me, and they have been taking advantage of biking while they are younger.  Both have recurring back issues, in fact he just had an operation last week, so I think the longer trips are off for this year.
