The Real B&A - in the California Desert


While traveling recently in southern California, I stumbled upon this unit at an asphalt plant just outside Oro Grande CA, next to Victorville. It's BAR 362.



I found two other engines, marked WAMX. Note that WAMX 3845 looks suspiciously like an ex-BAR Iron Roads unit. Does anyone have any details on how these northern Maine refugees have been put out to stud in SoCal?

It was a long drive back in the day to find those units in Maine. Now it's definitely going to require a bigger cooler to make the trip!

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
