I don’t know about that - Looks like the “Blue Book” price on that one might be in the single digits…

good reason not to park too close to any tracks guys - stay safe

I wondered if it was a junker,and just happened to be in the way when the train derailed?

Picture # 2 would make a great model rr scene !

Thanks for sharing…

Neat Pictures.

WO772? What is the ‘O’ stand for? I thought most trains ID’s had 3 numbers and a date of when the train first got started. Example, W077-28. Is there an exception?
