Believe it or not, the Car Barn that the CA&D used is still standing by the
old Barber-Green plant.(now TransBulk). The Stone block built building has
gone over some heavy modifications over the years, and is now used as a
storage building. I live about 1 mile from the barn, have not been over there
for a while, but can get the exact location and a Digital PIC of it, if
anyone is interested........
