Toad, Thanks for the photos and updated information. Pardon my
ignorance, but is this Australia? I'm forwarding your message to the
CBQlist, an internet discussion group with several hundred members. If
the Burlington Route (Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy RR), the original
owner of the Silver Star and General Pershing Zephry interests you, you
might want to subscribe and participate! Thanks again.
List members, a Burlington passenger car survives as a 'business car'
.....in Australia! see the links below.
