At Kingman, along the main line, is #3759, a 1928 Northern built by Baldwin. It's an earlier and slightly smaller version of the 2900's such as our 2903.
Of course, the lettering is not quite right. The tender has a message: "No Dogs Allowed" which I don't remember seeing elsewhere. The retractable smoke lifter is interesting. This engine is being very well maintained.
It was donated to the city in 1956.
And behind it is a modern steel waycar.
In the town of Wickenburg, northwest of Phoenix, is this much older Santa Fe 2-8-0, built by Baldwin in 1900. It was donated to the town in 1955 and has been on display along the line ever since.
Behind it is a wooden waycar of dubious ancestry. The trucks have "PM RY" cast into them. If this is a PM car, it's a long way from home!
Somebody thought these hardware-store light globes would look nice over the platforms.
The town depot now serves the Chamber of Commerce and is well maintained.
In this climate the sun takes a toll on paint, but for the most part, things last a lot longer when stored outside. As a friend put it: "We get 8 inches of rain a year. But you don't want to be here on the day we get it!"
