In my opinion the DEVCO Railway isn't that difficult to photograph or model, if you see one Devco train you have pretty much seen them all.  Devco  uses nothing but GP38-2s, 5 bay rapid discharge hoppers, and a few bathtub gondolas.  Unless you like modeling nothing but coal trains DEVCO isn't really that exciting. Modeling a DEVCO GP38-2 is easy, the units are basically a stock GP38-2 with no dynamic brakes, the only diffeneces between it and the Athearn model is the bell, horn and headlight location and the fuel tank is small, which you will notice in the photos.  Some of DEVCOs GP38-2s also have a power connection on the engineer side of the short hood. In the event that the coal mines loose power the locomotives can be quickly hooked up to the mines to power them.  I should have a picture of the hookup soon.

A Major derailment on the DEVCO railway occured a few years ago.  I was visiting a friend on Lingan road when we heard a tremendous noise from her living room, the house shook vilently and glasses rattled. When we looked out the window the site was amazing. Two Devco GP38-2s derailed allow with 12(I beleave) hopper cars that slammed into each other sideways.  I jumped in my car and flew home to get my camera, when I came back the police already had the area taped off. The night shot was taken the same night as the derailment. Originally I took several pictures up close but they never came out.  I returned the next day to get better shots but the police man on duty wouldn't let me cross the police line as the officer the night before did.
 

	This picture was taken about 20 minutes after the actual derailment. I was at a friends house in her living room (which faces the tracks) when the derailment took place.
	This photo was taken the following morning, unfortunately the police would not let me get any closer then this, even though the night before I took photo's right next to the train (only the one above came out enough to bother scanning). This picture was taken from my friend front lawn. Like I said the derailment was LOUD considering her house is about 100feet away from the tracks.
