Alco S-2 Switcher - Alco’s early diesel switchers, in the 1930s, were characterized by a high engine hood that reached almost to the cab roof. This was necessitated by the height of the McIntosh & Seymour inline 6-cylinder diesels, the massive four-stroke motors that powered the new engines.

G.E. 44-Ton Switcher - The 44-tonner was a workaround. In 1937, seeing that new diesels were putting the fireman’s role in jeopardy, the railroad unions negotiated the "90,000 Pound Rule" with the railroads — specifying that any engine with a weight on drivers of 90,000 pounds or more would require a two-man crew.

60' Flat Car with Containers - The flat car is perhaps the oldest of railroad cars, predating even the steam locomotive. From the very beginning, it was useful for commodities that could not have fit into a covered car.

Flat Car w/Military Loads - As far back as 1834, the horse-drawn Granite Railway in Quincy, Massachusetts ganged four of its four-wheel flatcars together to ship 60-ton granite blocks destined to be made into columns for the new Boston Court House.
