Truck detail

Close-up of leading truck and drive wheels

Lasy Edith is an Irish locomotive

This "mystery car" was originally a light flat car.  Work was being done so it could carry two dump car bodies.  What you see on it here are a "squirrel cage" blower and motor.  They wanted it wto serve as a leaf blower, keepign tracks clear in Autumn.

A seasonal problem is leaves on the track, which can be set afire by sparks from the steam locomotive.
