It is such an under funded and under appreciated lil stop. Some really neat stuff, they do a great ride to pumpkin patch in the fall. Theyve got some great equipment in the yard.

They are continuely buying as much of their surrounding track system as they can to expand the trips tbey offer but its such small operation in a distant area.

No kidding, that truck looks like a 1/2 or 3/4 scale "model".

It holds 6000 gallons so it will take most of that tanker and go 200 miles.......

Keep in mind though the engine is sitting a couple feet higher up because of the track height and there's some element of forced perspective. The engine is only about 4-5 ft taller than the truck, not double it's size. Still massive, but don't need to exaggerate.

I didn't realize it burned drain oil from the UP diesels. Thought it just burned diesel.

Heavy fuel oil

Now that would be a win win situation.

Heavy fuel oil

Supposibably it is setup for no. 5 oil, which is made mostly from UP diesel's drain oil.

They also had one of the cool snowblowers

Which pairs well with the other one Roseville has on static display:

They were doing the rebuild/refresh/re assembly on that in south sac about 8 years ago. Some yard down off elkgrove florin near a 4wd shop i was working at for a while. Got to see big parts getting flown up n down as the work was done.

Post from a local tourist railroad: East Broad Top Railroad | Historic Train Rides in Pennsylvania

East Broad Top is a pretty cool place if you have a chance to visit.

Built beginning in 1872, The railroad is the only surviving three-foot gauge common carrier railroad east of the Rocky Mountains. And its shops, parts of which date to the 1880s, are among the best-preserved examples in the U.S. of a late-19th-century/early-20th-century industrial complex — in this case, powered by an overhead belt system driven by a stationary steam engine.
