thanks Michael...I was almost sure that it was the 112 and you have confirmed it.

Today nothing whatsoever remains of the B&S in the area where the first scenes are filmed.  The ROW has been "scraped clean" and is posted with the typical "no Trespassing..keep out etc signs.

HOWEVER, as some of you probably know the railroad has been put back in and coal now, instead of moving out of Bevier is now moving into  (at least at the very west edge) of Bevier and to the power plant at or near the site of the mine.  A new connection to the BNSF has been put in a mile or so west of Bevier, complete with  signals and power switches.  There may also be, what would be the "east leg" of a wye there at the present connection which would permit movements off the B&S eastward on the BNSF

This has been done sometime in the fairly recent past.  In 1997 I did some exploration around the old Bevier Terminal site just south of "Downtown" Bevier and, although totally grown up wit;h brush and weeds som e of the old roundhouse and some of the B&S coaches, used for offices as well as other equipment were still sitting around  "on site.

Also, engine 112 which used to stand near the intersection north of Bevier near highway 36 has been moved to a small park area just north of the BNSF road crossing on the east side of the highway.  I'm not sure as to whether it's the 112 or another engine, but I think it's the 112.

  I don't know why there's about thirty seconds of black at the beginning, it must be my lack of editing skills :>)

Enjoy,

Mike
