Foamer squared...
Title:  Foamer squared...
Description:  Is what one W&I crew member called me! I couldnt possibility know why... All joaking aside though, one of the main reasons I collect horns is to preserve a piece of railroad history that is fast disappearing. Once a very common horn on this line, the Leslie S3K was once the standard horn of the Burlington Northern, but in this day and age of FRA horn regulations has been relegated to only being heard on the vehicle of one collector. At least the WIR #20 has a decent sounding Nathan P5, instead of the all too common Nathan K series horns now heard everywhere on UP and BNSF.

ALCO PA shell
Title:  ALCO PA shell
Description:  An ALCO PA shell (and I do mean shell) and trucks are loaded on flatcars of the M PASLAU (manifest, Pasco WA to Laural MT). This PA was originally made for the ATSF as 59-L, then sold to the D&L. Eventually it made its way to Mexico, where it was involved in a wreck (notice the large dent on the back side) and used as a parts source. It was purchased as a parts source for another ALCO PA that is being restored by Doyle McCormick in Portland OR. The unit you see here was stripped of all usable parts, then sold to the Museum of the American Railroad of Frisco, Texas. They plan to restore the unit, though I imagine only cosmetically, as there is literally nothing mechanical or electrical left of it.
