What are your thoughts on locomotives that were stored on the North Coast Railroad’s “Balloon track” in Eureka, California? I would love to hear what you think?
Here’s a picture for those who might know it visually. (Link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/25636763@N02/43272703932/)
My thoughts: The definition of negligence from an SP rebuilt GP9’s point of view.
Is that your picture? If not, it should be credited.
It is. Run your cursor over it or click on it.
As for the locomotives - stored and forgotten. Happens all the time.
I remember in the 90’s seeing an old rusty PRR boxcar on a weed filled siding, both obviously long forgotten.
I’ve credited images like that before. Works pretty well at keeping the credits unobtrusive but prevents them from being hidden.
Not my picture, but I have put the link to the original photo.
There was no need. Tap on the image and it gives you the clickable link plus a download link if you want your own copy.
I read about these graveyards that are packed with unwanted rolling stock, and from the impression I got it was a tax dodge and an evasion of responsibility on the part of the companies that own them.
