I recently scanned a bunch of old prints...here is a small selection

First is this (articulated) set of gons carrying aluminum cans at East Deerfield Mass.roughly 1989:



Next is this really cool control house for the transfer table, and old Alco switcher cab! Waterville, Maine, 1990ish



And finally we have this patched out thing...

Traffic jam at Brookville a couple of weeks ago.  No, this isn't a museum    - all the vehicles shown are work in progress (some much more progressed than others!




At the far left is a PCC car for San Franciso's MUNI about to be painted in Baltimore colors. To its right, the nearest PCC and the one behind the Trackmobile are for the city of El Paso. Behind the far PCC is a F59PH for Montreal's commuter agency AMT, and beside the paint booth is a Metro North GP35.  Inside the booth is another Muni PCC car fresh from the blast booth.  Oh, and that red tractor on the turntable? It is pulling a mining unit onto the turntable; the white personnel carrier is just barely visible through the front windows of the nearest PCC.

By the end of the day, the only unit still outside was the nearest El Paso PCC. 

On some days, this place is a 5S Event just waiting to happen...
