Great shots! What was the significance of the gondola in the train? Was it used for an open-top obs in any way? I'll bet the top speed on the Omaha line was no more than 10-20 MPH... somehow seeing a steam locomotive on a branch line looks much better than on the main. Gary, thank Ron for us, will ya? Tell him his shots are more than welcome here anytime (bettre yet, if he has 'Net access, get him to join Trainboard! ) ------------------ Southeast....Southwest.. Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T.

Yeah, that high steppin's Pacific is a sight for sore eyes! She looks smart as new paint all slicked up. Ron, you are sure welcome here, come by often, and bring us some news and a photo when you do. Thanks. ------------------ Watash #982
