    I was looking for a dedicated Quanah, Acme and Pacific (QA&P) thread but I could not find one, so here will have to do for now.

    The Motley County Railway ran for a few short years from Roaring Springs, TX on the QA&P to Matador, TX.

    I recently came across this page on the McKeen Railcar site.

    Another photo of the opposite side of the same locomotive even though it is lettered differently.

    Keep safe over there.

    It's not too hard to see why they called it "motley."

    Who could create such an ugly beast?

    Ye gods that is so ugly, it is cute.

    Can you imagine driving that thing from Omaha, NE to Texas at a blistering 16 mph?
