ATSF 543
Title:  ATSF 543
Description:  ATSF 543 sure looks like an H-15-44 or H-16-44 to me but the roster calls it an H-12-44TS. Anyway, I'm glad to get this photo. Sorry, I don't remember the exact date. This unit was in excellent condition, cosmetically, when I got this grab shot, using a 2X doubler and an 80-200mm zoom lens, from a good ways away. Whatever happened to this unit? NOTE: According to recent photos, this unit is now at the Illinois Railway Museum, wearing what looks like AAR Type-A switcher trucks. The fence and top-rail obscures the trucks in my photo here, but those look like F-M trucks to me. Here's the link to the IRM photo: http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/irm/atsf0543gga.jpg

ATSF 206982, Barstow boom car and ATSF 5048
Title:  ATSF 206982, Barstow boom car and ATSF 5048
Description:  This piece of rolling stock looks very similar to transfer cabooses on Missouri Pacific and C&NW; perhaps other roads. Maybe this car was a tool car or used in some other capacity for M of W service. Corrections and other information welcome. Whatever this car's purpose, it was in the former ATSF yards in Albuquerque, NM on a Saturday afternoon in fall 1985. Additional note: Thanks to Ashley Rodriguez who stated this might have been ATSF Barstow boom car 206982. I've made the corrections. Also, I've now added ATSF 5048 which was used to handle this item.
