Ok. They have their place. They give joy to their fans. Bravo.

Country Dick died years ago about 3 songs into during a performance; Buddie Blue died from a heart attack at age 48...........

They came and they went.......and left us with some seriously good songs & performances.

Back to the CVRR........

Another recent acquisition -- CVRR #81, a narrow Belpaire H6..........but just what is that car in front of it??????? That mystery is one of the reasons I flushed the moths out of my wallet and indulged in this photo

It's a PRR Class SA poling car!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

That car at the front of the locomotive seems intended for slow movement use, considering that it has that makeshift-looking running-board at its side, eh? The men who are posing with it must be the crew that is supposed to hop on and off, for some reason. I'm assuming they are not dressed like that for a regular workday, esp. considering the dress shoes on that elbow-up guy..

Don't think I've ever seen a picture of a poling car before. Did the CVRR have it for use in a certain area?

Neither have I and never one lettered for CVRR............so I bought it!

No idea. Unfortunately nothing identifying about location with this photo.

Remarkable and interesting little ensemble, isn't it.

Indeed. I think you can get a kit for something like the engine from Wiseman, but the wagons would be a scratch building exercise - a neat scene!

Look, it's a unit grain train.
