Trains are depicted in so many places. I'd like to start a thread to see how many unique places we can identify that depict trains, and I think we'll all be surprised by the number of results. I'll start it off. My family started in the South and here is one image on an old Confederate bill from grandpa.

The Dental Dreyfuss is a hoot, even if it apparently has a cab from a PRR T-1 Duplex! I'm going to the dentist Monday - I shall demand something similar in his parking area.

I don't know if this is a chain, but I saw exactly this last week in San Diego. I wasn't driving, otherwise I'd have pulled over and gotten a photo.
As for obscure locations a train could be, nothing could ever match the Chicago Tunnel Company...

This pic shows three EMD 567 generator car units (on the left) at a mining plant in Canada. They are used for emergency power, and sit on their own short lengths of track, complete with trucks, moved 120 miles from the nearest railroad. The units are similar to those in the 2nd pic, if not the same ones.
