Happy Birthday John Allen

I don't usually remember John Allen's birthday - July 2 - until after the day has passed.  This year I happened to notice the announcement in the G&D group (former Yahoo group) and decided I'd celebrate with a special train.  I assembled a short consist of cars from John's friends who had contributed rolling stock from their railroads to run on the Gorre & Daphetid.  These cars are actual equipment from those roads, not reproductions or tribute cars, though they may not match the car types seen on the G&D.

I shot a short video of a run-by, but here are photos of each car as they appear in the train:

Bud Sima's PURR, from the Milt Moore collection.

Frank Murray's Seaford & Oyster Bay.

Malcolm Vordenbaum's Caruth and Central

Bill McClanahan's T&RGW

Ken Vere's Caribou Southern

Hey, how'd that get in there?!?

And here's the video:

Happy Birthday, John.
