Re: Nevada Narrow Gauge, 1976

Let's see if my brain works today..

The shorter boxcar in the 3rd image is part of the SPCRR collection.
The long one is the "Elephant" boxcar, I believe it is suspected to be built on a coach frame. The boxcar closest to the Shay should be a Billmeyer & Small boxcar from the Nevada Central similar to early D&RG cars, although it seems to be much rebuilt.

The baggage car is from the Colusa and Lake (Colusa, CA), it was originally a boxcar and at some point was converted to a baggage before winding up on the Eureka-Nevada Railway. This car part of the Nevada State Railroad Museum collection in Boulder City, NV.

The 2-8-0 is obviously Uintah #12

The Shay is former Santa Barbara Tie and Pole and is currently in Oregon along with the two boxcars. A few years ago I believe the group trying to revive what little was left of the West Side acquired them.
