Challenge #601 - Abandoned Results

Thanks to everyone that submitted entries and exhibits.

Third place: btrons' disappointment upon finding the place he planned to stay was closed and empty.

Second Place: Crandell's Second - Holed, Beached, and Left To Rot

After yet another problem, the boat's owner just gave up, beached it, and walked away.

First Place : Crandell's First - Old Baldwin Tank Engine

Great background information about the Baldwin engine. The missing smoke box door likely means that they opened it up and found a problem serious enough that they just walked off and left it to rust away.

Crandell (gloaming), the next challenge is yours.

Wow, thanks, Tom.  

If I had to guess, the smokebox door also had the Baldwin number plate mounted on it at center, a circular one, maybe even with a red painted background...not sure.  Would have made a nice conversation piece in a man-cave.

I appreciate all entries and exhibits.  I'll take a day or two to consider a topic.  My record ain't exactly stellar in that regard, so I'll have to be careful.

Your explanation seems more plausible. The smoke box door is on display at someone's home or shop.
