1940's Union Pacific Railroad Track Crew communication telephone box, 2 watt/9 volt Artec amp, 1970's Ford Truck speaker, vintage style chickenhead on/off/volume knob, original canvas carry strap. The git in the pic is the Beselin 3 string CBG.These photos were taken on an abandoned stretch of tracks south of Hooper, Nebraska. As a kid I used to hunt pheasants, quail and rabbits along these tracks, trains were still running on them back in those days...long time ago. This stretch of rail line was origanlly built in 1869.

    If you'd like we can take a drive over to this old rail line sometime. The old Passenger cars still sit in Hooper Nebraska.

    It was a nice gift from Pick! He did the cool B&W effects.

    Yep, bit steep for an amp case Wes. I picked this one up for $22. I'm always on the hunt though, takes a lot of eye gawkin' to come across the right deal  :-)
