I seem to recall a thread a while back on some sort of rail-themed "wedding chapel" with an ex-Pennsy E-8 that had been on the Blue Mountain & Reading. This looks like it could be the equipment that was there in the thread. Other photos, featuring what is definitely a Pennsy E-unit: http://photos.al.com/4461/gallery/grant ... index.html |

Sure does look like ex-PRR E8A #5706 that was once on the RBM&N as mentioned above and was "preserved" as some kind of wedding chapel with other miscellaneous equipment not far away in Sumiton, AL. http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPi ... id=2703903 |

Ask some of the people in Boonton, NJ how the shops in the LIRR Ping-Pongs worked out. I don't have a lot of hope for this being a commercial success, but I've been wrong before. |

From a quick look at the articles and a fly-over using Google and Bing maps this doesn't look like a Boonton situation. The mall has two major anchors and several smaller stores and is going to have some municipal offices. I would suspect the rail equipment is being placed there as a draw rather than as retail space.
