I couldn't find previous posts, so here's a new thread.

We had a Strates circus train pass yesterday with this! (Gary Panckavage photo)



And these 7 are on the New Hope & Ivyland:

Nice shots! I need to get back down to New Hope to check those out.

This one is obviously now outdated, but shows sandite 2907 in KO.

There used to be two in the siding next to Carousel Mall in Syracuse, NY but they've since been moved elsewhere. No idea where they were headed but they were there for quite some time, like around a year maybe two

There's also a few at the San Luis & Rio Grande RR, which operates out of Alamosa, Colorado. The P72s, and a few other coaches are hauled by SP Mogul #1744, and former Grand Canyon #18.

A few are shown in this picture, the last two coaches.

I sent Jack some links to recent photos. A&M has one, a nice  compliment to their Alcos!

And I read recently Ken Bitten was going to scrap some of his.

Yes, they are all over like the Edison cars! I remember seeing one at the Sierra RR in CA. But a number of them have been scrapped too.

I would like to see some of these get the real LIRR grey paint with light grey lettering.  That way, even if not internally restored, they a) have a fresh coat of paint (not stupid circus paint; b) they look historically presentable as museum pieces.
