EPIC BATTLE! Wizard of Oz vs the Wicked Witch

An understated but terrifying show of power!

RRV No. 1, the Doodle Bug, in front of the station at Jacksonville. The city has today rebuilt and preserved this historic structure as a remembrance of the railroad station so important to thier liitle town in the early part of the century.

Gorgeous railcar out of Scappoose, Oregon. The fella on the left appears to be a guard or something, judging by his danger flag there.
