While looking up photos of Pennsylvania Railroad gun flats, and looking for other photos of surviving 19th century steam locomotives, I came across this site, a commercial one with Pennsy photos for sale. In addition to photos on the PRR, there appear to be other photos from other roads, including what appear to be builder's photos of some freight cars. This site may be of interest to some people here.

General link (home page); warning, I never did figure out how to turn off that music:

Some sample images from the site's albums. . .

A coastal defense gun; check out the tight clearances with the bridge in the photo, and the trucks that seem to follow European practice:

Something once so common, now so rare:

An interesting tank car:

Are any of these unusual BAR pulpwood cars still around?

A skeleton logging flat, for Klickitat Log & Lumber (?); of note is the shield over the air brake components to attempt to keep debris out:

You have to wonder about the forces in wrecks:

Ancient vinegar tanker:

Wonder what the story is behind the car in this photo; it almost looks to be on narrow-gauge trucks, but it doesn't look like it's on the EBT, and it apparently has wreck damage:

An excuse to have fun with old tractors at your railroad museum (and also to illustrate that this came--and still comes--by rail):

What kind of trucks are under this Katy flat?

A variation on the gun flat, in this case "going long:"

Have fun, and maybe spend a bit of money, too. . .
