Great photos of an older locomotive Dave. I also like the red ground signal as well.

I was invited to see that museum 20 odd years ago.  Mr. Chandler was a real gentleman. The real collection was his motorcycles, including one used by Steve McQueen.

One of the big draws for me at Chandlers museum was the rare muscle cars of the era. There was even a ZL1 69 Corvette and ZL1 69 Camaro. He had a 64 race Hemi Plymouth, several COPO Chevelles and Novas. He had a W30 Cutlass and a 66 427 Fairlane as well.

When were these taken?  Otis C. has been dead quite a while, correct?  Is the museum still open?
