Oddities


Latest addition: April 16, 2008


This section was inspired by Dan Dawdy's "Oddity of the Month" on his Cyberspace World Railroad site. Every month he presents an image of an unusual item, peculiar situation, etc. from the world of railroading. This section will be an "Oddity-of-the-whenever-I-get-around-to-it," devoted to unusual items, bloopers, and curious circumstances associated with the Santa Fe. If you have photos of Santa Fe oddities you would like to see featured here, please send them in!


A troubled economy

You know you're getting cheap tie plates when they say "Economy" and the N is backwards. This plate was supporting ex-Santa Fe rails in Exeter, CA on a surviving but dormant fragment of the railroad's San Joaquin Valley branch lines. Must have fished it out of bargin bin.
