Nostalgia & History > AC&Y 505

In today's "Nostalgia and History", Valmont posted a photo of ex-AC&Y 505 at Southwest Portland Cement in Victorville, California. Here's my photo and caption from a July 21, 2019 posting in Trainorders.
In yesterday's (July 20, 2019) Trainorders' "Eastern Railroads" discussion forum, it was reported that a Galveston, Texas museum had AC&Y 505 for sale. Here is AC&Y 505 (FM H20-44) leaving the N&W (ex-AC&Y) turntable in Akron, Ohio in late 1968/early 1969.

That's great ... pasting history together across the years ... and the US!!!

Note the polling pole mounted on the forward truck.

Superb shot, Bob, and you also have to love the optimism of putting the road name on the side sill.

AC&Y had them on the ends of the jacking pads, of all places.

Love the horn.
