Hi,
A was looking through the book "F-UNITS the Locomotives that
Revolutionized Railroading"
and on page 43 the have a picture of 9961ABA taken on 1 Sep 49. Using a
glass, they do
NOT appear (to me) to have chicken wire between the portholes. What do
you guys that
have a copy of this book think?
Have a great day,
