In what has to be one of the wierdest things I have seen, the two Colorado narrow gage tenders that belong to thier respective locomotives are sitting on the west side of the Strasburg Railroad shops....and each one is sitting on a single 3 axle passenger car truck that is longer than the tenders themselves! Man I wish I had my camera! Interesting shop trucks there Strasburg!
I was on the ASLRRA special train last night with the #475 and we passed a Carl Franz chartered freight train with #90.
