sorry I have no idea. My Uncle drove truck from the late '70s until he passed away in 2015. I truly believe he took pics of every load he ever hauled! And most have nothing written on the back. He took beams into downtown NYC and Baltimore in the middle of the night quite often. He hauled beams to a bridge in Steubenville , Ohio near me next to the  PRR bridge that G3750 is modeling.

Good morning!

Motive power on the Dents Run Railroad:

                DSCN3462

When my Grandma and Grandpa married, Harry Whitcomb, the Engineer on the line, fired up this Heisler, coupled up a flat car with a table and chairs on it and transported the newlyweds down Dents Run and across the West Branch to the interchange with the Pennsy Low Grade where they boarded a train for (ultimately) Niagara Falls.

Dents Run RR crossing of the B&S (Buffalo and Susquehanna) and the bridge across the West Branch of Sinnemahoning Creek in order to interchange with the PRR Low Grade.

Passenger service was normally handled by this Brookville Locomotive Works doodlebug.

I am 99% confident that it's a port on the Yucatan Peninsula. Hidrosur is a Mexican company, if memory serves. 

I will take your word. The wife said she was on a cruise to Mexico

Dad pulled a freight box in one of those before moving up to an F Model, then went to coal buckets. I remember him putting one arm thru the steering wheel and working both shifters. No air, no power steering, am radio,no air ride,had to read a road map, probably kill most of the guys driving today.

That’s the way it’s done dad taught me that if you ever get both sticks out of gear just pull off the road and start over
