On a visit to Virginia, I made a stop at the US Army Transportation Museum in Fort Eustis. The museum covers the history of the Army Transportation Corps, including some railroad equipment.
The yard area is being rebuilt so that the artifacts will be covered from the elements. My photos were taken from the outside of the fence. This is Pershing 2-8-0 no. 607.
Perhaps the weirdest piece is this caboose which was brought back from Germany. The photo doesn't show it well, but it has single axles under the frame. The cupola is more like a shortened dome, and it has a bay window. Curtains, too. :P
I think this is the Alaska MRS-1 that was kept at the Railroad Museum of PA for several years. It still needs a fresh coat of paint.
Smaller steam is represented by this 0-6-0T.
Here is her front. No industrial designer was involved in constructing these engines, LOL
Well, now that the ball is rolling, feel free to add any photos you would like to share with the OGR family. Have a good week, and Happy Martin Luther King Day on Monday.
