    It used to be that the three most important buildings in any town were city hall, the church, and of course, the railway station.

    It was also more often than not that the station master was the most respected of the three occupants of the aforementioned buildings...:LOL:

    It may have, but I doubt it as it just pulled forward from the siding just east of the signals. Kurt, you have a sharp eye...
