A photograph of Train Engines No. 11 and 12, of which wait out an uncertain future in Nez Perce, Idaho in the summer of 1973. No. 11, a 1936 built Plymouth, 250 HP was acquired from the Ohio & Morenci in 1952. No. 12, a 1935 built Packard, 190 HP was acquired from the Detroit Harbor Terminals in 1952, at a bargain price of $40,000/00 for the twin engines.
