Most of us have photographs of truly unique pieces of equipment, be it locomotives, rolling stock, or whatever. So, how about sharing your photographs of "one of a kind" items?
I'm going to kick things off with the "Ferdinand Magellan". This is the only car ever designated for the exclusive use of the President of the United States. Roosevelt, Truman, and Eisenhower all used it while they were in office. With 5/8" armor plating and bulletproof windows, it weighs in at 142 tons, making it the heaviest car (that I'm aware of) in North America. It was placed in official service in 1942, and last official trip was in 1953. It's been designated a National Landmark.
