Great photos, Tony.

Interestingly enough, I recently discovered that my third great grandfather (an immigrant from Scotland), after being elected to a government position in the city, would take a train (probably similar to the one in your photo, though smaller) to his home in a nearby village after performing his duties. He refused to ride in a passenger car and would instead take his gun to a box car with the door open and would "test his aim on local vermin" as the train passed.
I don't know if I'll ever see another train without thinking of him in his suit shooting prairie dogs and jack rabbits from a dirty box car!

Thank you for the fine photos!
