Ron Moraca General The CGW liked long lashups fronting their trains, didn't they, Marty? I mean, ABBBBB!? Given the short nature of this train, it had to have been an engine transfer. Also, CGW sure didn't have any imagination when it came to visualizing an attractive color scheme! 10/8/2008 11:10:29 PM
Marty Bernard General The tran was very long but bent around a corner out of view. 10/8/2008 11:13:25 PM
