There's a saying in Model Railroading: Whatever it is, there's a prototype for it!
What I'd like to see here are real, prototype locations that seem to violate the established 'rules' for model railroading:
Super sharp curves, crazy grades outside of logging lines, spaghetti bowls. 'missing the christmas tree' loops, 'badly soldered points', 'poor ballasting', 'cars not weathered properly', and other silly rivet-counter complaints.

When I hear the iron horse make the hills echo with his snort like thunder, shaking the earth with his feet, and breathing fire and smoke from his nostrils, it seems as if the earth had got a race now worthy to inhabit it.
