That possibility was pointed out by Squidbait in the original thread (Rollin' on the river...), although the train, all 30 cars and two locomotives, circumnavigated the layout several times with no "break-in-twos", despite the many grades and curves. I always check for trip pin clearance, and don't generally worry too much about coupler head-height, although the car shown should be corrected. :oops:
Those old faded ATSF Red plug doors with the large logo like the one posted above have always been my favorite freight cars of all time, and I'm a WP guy. I just really loved seeing those things go by all the time on the Central California Traction when I was a kid at my Great Grandparents house. Thanks for posting that! Made my day...
