    Very cool: work in progress at Barstow AND Revy! I had never seen a bar undercutter and had to turn to Google to find out what this one was doing. What an amazing, time- and labor-saving piece of machinery! Loved the "coyote" and the real canid (a big fox maybe?) and the musical segment at La Plata. Another great one!

    0:30 BUGX 1752 was most recently at the Ohio Scenic Railway. It previously pulled freight on the Keokuk Junction Railway until 2018. The other two F units Keokuk junction had are now owned by RPCX (private car owners). Keokuk Junction also used three geeps prior to the line being acquired by Patriot Rail in 2018.
