A rare sight at Tomahawk Wisconsin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Author: ngfan

Sitting in the yard of the Tomahawk RR in Tomahawk, WI earlier this fall. In storage for the owner who shipped it from Alaska on CN lines (has to know someone really high up I'm sure).

Photos sent to me by a local in the area. This all the information I have

That is an interesting control stand. I noticed it has a GM plate on it. Were those installed by Alaska RR or VIA? They are completely different from the controls I remember on the Boston & Maine RDC's.

Shipping a privately owned railcar that meets FRA/AAR requirements is not really difficult. Most railroads have a tariff item in effect for them - although it might get as expensive as $8.00 per mile.

I think I spy a Hancock air whistle on top in the 1st photo.
Could it be an x New Haven unit??
