This may be the only photo ever taken of the short-lived Harbor Logging Company logging railroad on Whidbey Island, Washington. This company only operated from 1906 until 1908. They only had one locomotive and this is her.
Notice that the roadbed is actually large timbers laid on the ground with fairly small planks used for cross ties.

Portable railroad. Take it up and move it along as they progress.

Looks like a Sten SMG.

Or is it an F1?

1970 just west of Quincy Wa. Three Burlington units headed east. This was just after the BN merger. Looks like 2 GE units and a GP 30 trailing.

A couple of pics of my great uncle's Elgin RR grade watch. Made in 1947 and was left to me when he passed. He was an engineer on the Milwaukee RR between Spokane and Newport Wa.

Our "new" Dash 9s. Looks like wore out junk our mechanical shop doesn't know anything about. I don't want to see the SD40s leave.

Boston and Maine Mogul, these did a lot of work on local passenger service until they were replaced by RS3s
