Sam is right about the Dodge, looks like a 1053 model.  The other one is either an International or a Diamond T.

Thanks for sharing the photo.  Looking at the consist, which has no head-end 
equipment, I'd say the train is most likely the Powhatan Arrow, only quite a 
bit longer than normal.  Why the train would stop on the far main is a bit 
of a puzzler,  Perhaps there was something preventing it from using the near 
track, which I think they would normally do for passenger safety.

What also interests me is the orange vehicles.  I don't recall what N&W 
railroad vehicles looked like at the time.  The near truck appears to be a 
Dodge.  Can some vehicle expert identify the other one; looks to me like a 
General Motors product.  Rev. Jim?
