Tom and Perry
The GESTPO went thru the NOC friday and made us remove all Photos.
In the Union Ave Pod I had a photo of looking out of Amtrak 3 looking south
from the end of the train shed. And a Photo of Metra #193 front 3/4 LS at
Aurora as "Injun Joe". If I can figure out how to scan it I can send it to
you
Steve

Subject: [BRHSlist] 1999 Aurora Meet
> Help!!!
>
> One of the highlights of the 1999 Aurora Annual Meeting was a trip to
Chicago on the 'Mark Twain Zephyr'. Although not the real MTZ, but the
version put together by BNSF and Metra for our use. This trainset was due
to the efforts of a local conductor who works the Metra line to Chicago,
John Smith. John is also good friends with the individuals who own the
actual trainset, and allowed him the use of the MTZ casting from the
original trainset.
>
> During the meet, he requested some photographs of the Metra trainset from
our members. To date, he has not received any photographs. While riding
with him to Chicago last week, he was very disappointed that no photos were
offered, especially after he saw the tens of people taking pictures.
>
> I would request that if you or another member that you know has any
pictures of the trainset, to please contact me off list to arrange getting
copies of some of the photographs. Remember, that the bilevel cars used had
to be cut out of other trainsets and returned after our trip, the signs on
the cars and the locomotive were made by John Smith and his crew, and
finally that the crew volunteered to spend an evening with us to Chicago.
>
> Let's show our gratitude for them and see if we can find some
photographs!!!

> Thanking you in advance.
