HRR 11
Title:  HRR 11
Description:  This is the Huckleberry Railroad's Shop switcher. Normally, during Railfan's Weekend, this little engine can be found giving hay rides in the siding at the Crossroads Village Station, but this year, due to the fact that #2 was in the siding, it was just esting at the shops.

Poor thing
Title:  Poor thing
Description:  Our Tour Guide warned us that the back of a locomotive shop isn't that pretty. This is the Huck's former Quincy and Torcjh Lake 2-6-0 #3. It was purchased in the 1970s to be rebuilt as back up for number 2, but when 464 came into the scene, they just dumped it back here behind the shops. Plans call for the locomotive to someday be reassembled and cosmetically restored for display.

464's old tender
Title:  464's old tender
Description:  This is #464's old tender. This was retired from service because it had WAY too many leaks in it, and it had reached the end of its life. A Brand New Tank was fabricated for the 464 to replace this one.
