Swede,

Not a doodlebug, but a former baggage car converted to weedsprayer 199208, which was tied to tank cars and shoved by a locomotive.

More GREAT shots and EXQUISITE scans, Don! That curve at 674.3 was where I shot my very first Needles District slide, back in November, 1982.

Thanks for the memories,

Thanks for looking and the comments. As for scanning; these are from scans of 2 1/4 by 2-3/4 color negatives scanned with a Plustek Optifilm 120 dedicated film scanner
