Boaz Siding

[NW Mailing List]

That is a nice image. Make the siding long enough for the 2300 (w aux 
tender) and a Y6 (w/o aux tender) and that should be about right. I've 
seen video or photos of both in the siding at once. Note the willow from 
this angle. Looks like it had two large branches; one northward facing 
and one southward. Pretty amazing that the handrail remains in great 
shape 65 years after this photo.

I thought I'd follow up your email, since I found an archive photo taken 
from the same spot as your westward looking image.
Of note in this image, Y6 2124 is coming off the siding and there is a 
second pusher on the siding in the background.  2124 has an air line 
aftercooler radiator (I always find those interesting). And notice the 
fine wire tied to the railing (difficult to see) to make sure the guy 
aligning the switch doesn't step back and fall into the culvert.
