Reinhard,

Thanks for finding the key to open. To answer your question, yes, the several places I rail fanned while in Florida all had some type of palm trees.

CNR S3A #3734 started life on the GTW but later in her career she was transferred to the CNR.Doctor Wayne modified and painted this locomotive to show how she would have looked while on the CNR roster in the 50's

During the winter months in Canada most passenger trains were heated by steam which was provided by steam locomotives.When diesels started replacing steam locomotives on passenger assignments it created a need for a new source of generating heat.Locomotive manufactures did develop diesel locomotives that had steam generators such as General Motors FP9A and Canadian Locomotive Works C liners but the majority of the road's diesel roster were not equipped with a heat generating source---a Steam Generating Car was created to meet this need.Here's a shot of a typical passenger power consist which included one of these cars

Here's one of the CLC passenger C-liners.The triple rear truck was needed to support the weight of the onboard steam generator which was located in the rear of the locomotive
