Disregard the caboose photo, but the two metal signs on the top edge of the wall I recently got from a vendor in Tennessee. They made a ET&WNC one, but it was really small. The other is a reproduction of an ad the locomotive company took out during World War II. It's screams of that time period, so I had to have it. Along the top edge seemed to be a pretty good place for them.

That makes me ill to see this, but at least the Arrow Creek and Gold Creek cars still exist (bot chopped into large parts) and might be reassembled someday instead of being melted into razor blades. As far as I know, the remains are at a museum in Montevideo, MN today...

Saw this rail maintenance equipment in Wyckof NJ over the weekend and had to take some photos and pass it on.
I never seen some of this equipment especial;l the small motorize units with the spikes.
If someone could identify the proper names of the motorized units it would be nice

Notice the stuff animals on the front bumpers

Pictures #1-3 looks like a Hydra-Spiker. Picture #9 The machine in front of the Speed Swing looks like a Rail Heater. Pictures # 10 and 11 Material trailer and Rail Saw machine. Picture # 15 Speed Swing. Last photo looks like it could be a fuel truck or a truck to pull actual rail cars for hauling track material for this production gang. Seem to have plenty of Hydra-Spikers on this gang for sure!
