Remarks & Notes

Close-up of the SP "Oil Cans". Image shows the relatively large connecting pipe that ran from one tankcar in a set to another. The loaders and unloaders used these pipes to quickly load an entire set, and then unload it by pushing the crude out using gaseous nitrogen.

A much needed album given that there is no "category" to identify these pictures

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.
