How about this? The number board caught my eye!

:O
Wow!
Ok, who's got some jacks, about 70' of rail,...

and a really REALLY big trailer!??!

The Salisbury Beach was in Boston at South Station. around July 4th, as someone earlier predicted. It's a 6-4-6 stainless steel car. Does anyone know if it went to Portland? I understand the owner is from the Fullerton, CA area.

What I can think of........

VT:
* Old 494 and a caboose at White River Jct
* A caboose in blue B&M scheme off Rt 7 in the Brandon area (norh of Rutland)
* Another caboose in both B&M blue (one side) and maroon (other side) south of Bristol on Rt 116

NH:
* Conway Scenic has F-7 #4266, plus I'm sure other B&M equipment I can't think of
* A caboose at the Potter Place station off Rt 4 in Andover

CT:
* Steam #1455, formerly at Cape Cod RR, is at Danbury Railway Museum

PA:
* 3713 under restoration at (IIRC) Steamtown?

NY/CT/MA/VT/NH/ME:
* Whatever Pan-Am/Guilford has that still is B&M... some engines perhaps? Boxcars and M of W equipment for sure.

What about the Flying Yankee, twin sister to the Pioneer Zephyr?
Cheers,

Their GP9s are all B&M... that's it for engines.

Up at the hobo railroad. Under wraps though.

One Alco RS-3 (1508, blt 1954)
One GP9 (1732, blt 1957)

That's 16 B&M pieces at RMNE. Any place else have more?

Details and some photos. If there's more photos out there, please let me know.

I just updated my list of preserved B&M passenger equipment:

It's too bad that many US museums don't see it as important to publish equipment lists on the web. If anyone can fill in missing details, reply here or PM me.

I recall, and have (somewhere here in the rubble) a photo of a B&M coach in the Conway Scenic yard. I think the number was 214. Anyone know what became of it?

have not been done there for years since I use to sell at the fathers day show at Edaville RR. What happened to the B&M equipement down there? Wasn't there a steam loco(maybe a Pacific) and two or three coachs in the maroon paint scheme?
I know where the Yankee went to.

The B&M steam locomotive that was at Edaville (1457, a Mogul) is now at the Danbury Railroad Museum in Connecticut. Don't know about the coaches.

The preserved B&M Pacific that you might be thinking of (3713) used to be at the Boston Museum of Science, and is now in pieces at Steamtown as it undergoes a very slow rebuilding.

When was this engine moved from Boston?

Woah, there used to be a B&M steamer at the Museum of Science? When was this?

This was from around the mid-60's till about 1986 0r '87-ish.
I remember playing on it as a kid while watching the boats in the Charles R. locks.
