Have your track gang do this set up. It's prototypical. A friend snapped this UP consist along I84 in Oregon a couple of weeks ago. :-)

I thought we were supposed to be period re-enactors? What's wrong with all those trees in the background?

Ah, the latrine car! Nothing but first class accommodations for this track gang.

Or as the seagoing types would say "the head end". Ancient Roman history scholars would call it the "Throne of the Emperor Commodus".

At my wonderful state of the art, climate controlled (by God) restoration facility, we refer to that blue thing as the "yard office"......

Yeah, but ours isn't on wheels. I see an upgrade in our future.

Probably the easiest way to put restrooms on your train.....a few of these. Of course, you will have to stop once in a while. I wish this had been mentioned in that recent thread.

We have one that was recently donated. We call ours the "Blue Room".

Hmmm, standard gauge porta potty. Trouble is, in many places it'd need to be of the retention type to get registered!
Cheers, Bob
