Yes, an HOn3 United K-27 with inboard piston valves (i.e. D&RGW #454, 456, 458 or 461), bought circa 1962, modified in 1973-74 with working (or at least movable) firedoor, throttle, radius rod and JohnsonBarr bar.* These modifications would have been SOOOO much easier in Sn3 vs HOn3 . . .

Train was eastbound and photos were posted in order taken, so switch stand would be at southeast (RR east) end of siding.

* SFAIK, Johnson Barr moves as little as possible, and has never worked a single day in his entire life . . .
