P.S.-I can't remember have I provided the list my research on chalk marks? I
have a short list of who used what and am looking for more. >>
Leo et. al.:
This brings up a question about a photo I have of the Eola-Oregon wayfreight
at Oregon in June 1967. The waycar--NE9 13771--has "3 Bees" (with the
quotation marks) carefully chalked or painted between the cupola windows in
letters maybe 9 inches tall. Is there a story behind that anyone can share
without giving away family secrets or embarrassing anyone too much?

Bill Diven
