that was not permanent and offset onto the front of the facing photograph, which was
altered to minimize the visual impact of the offset lettering (suffix "al").

it's just loads of fun! :·) - SB,III]
Photographs identifed as "thumbnails" are in fact low-resolution copies of the larger (in some cases, VERY much larger) originals, to speed loading, not to save page space.
{There are also a few duplications, where possibly more than one size print,
or a slide, was supplied; they have been included.)
Sample images from the various Canadian pages follow;
some have been reduced to load faster without thumbnailing and

Portola, California, 'way up over Donner Pass in the High Sierras, near Lake Tahoe, Nevada, is where Trains Unlimited, Tours is located; it is also the home of the Portola Railroad Museum, operated by the Feather River Rail Society, a group primarily devoted to the Western Pacific RR. The Portola Museum is home to the only surviving twin-engined boxcab oil(diesel)-electric, the Foley Bros. #110-1.
For more oddball rail equipment see the Webmaster's Odder Boxcabs and related weird equipment on his Rail-Auto page.
If you like electric boxcabs, Clint Chamberlin has a whole page full! Also, there was a great feature on the twilight of "The King of the Rails", the Milwaukee Road's huge GE E-34, E-50a, and E-74 in the July 1973 TRAINS, pp. 29-38; quite literally the "End of Wire".
