bill, marshall
am asking, if this fill could be on the south albia hill? isn't
there some cuts and fills on the south hill?
this is off subject as does not relate to the Q, hope i don't get
yelled at, but believe there was a derailment on the south hill in
late 70s early 80s where an eb coal train derailed the waycar or
last several cars and the waycar, the waycar turned over on its
side, and the conductor was killed. embaressing, but can't get the
conductors name out of the grey matter right now.
