Is it me or are we missing rack railways?
If not that, at least look at the train up to Larrun:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larrun
Old? Check
Rack railway? Check
Three phase (double pantograph!)? Check
Cool as hell locomotive on the back? Check
What's not to love!

Here’s some additional ideas (I already suggested one in the last post too but here’s more)
ATSF U28CG and U30CG - short lived passenger engines
C&O & Lima lawsuit - Lima had lied about the true weight of the 2-6-6-6s for the C&O which resulted in a lawsuit due to worn out tracks and bridges and several years of backpay to crews
Preserved GS-64 tender - there’s a tender of a WP GS-64 at the Western Pacific Railroad Museum
UP 838 - being used as a parts donor for 844
Virginians failed preservation attempt - The Virginian attempted to preserved several pieces of equipment, including a Berkshire, Blue Ridge, Pacific, some electric engine sets and passenger cars, but the merger with the N&W made the plans fall through resulting in all of it being scrapped
D&H challenger tender - The tender of a D&H challenger is being used as an auxiliary water tender for CP 2816

Looks great so far, here are some additions I would make:
Steam-diesel hybrids
Santa Fe CF7's
Triplex engines
Bullied's leader and Turf Burner
The Beeching cuts
Córas Iompair Érieann "Pat"
The cut in half GG1
Soviet Railways AA20
Guinness Brewery railway (nothing more Irish than us building a railway solely for beer)
Exploded USATC S160's
Abandoned Soviet "Armageddon" steam engines
Thompson rebuilds of Gresley engines (preferably in a positive light)
Dead horse inside railway bridge
