Steve, if you must unsubscribe, there is a link at the bottom of every
email that makes it happen. However, consider this 'ill-advised and
divisive' post an aberration. Posts like this are pretty uncommon on
this list. I agree that I'd rather not have to read political views on a
list dedicated to a subject that has no political nature (other than in
a historical context). The delete key is a very powerful key, and takes
care of it very quickly. While it doesn't let the originator know of
your displeasure in the material he chose to send, it ends up where it
belongs ..... gone.

CB&Q content : a couple of weeks ago I came across some photos I had
never seen before of an Oregon Turn using a shorty baggage/combine on
the rear, apparently in place of a way car. The photo is visible here:
http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=253167&nseq=2
Maybe everyone else has seen this, I hadn't. Was this rear end vehicle
a somewhat common practice? Special purpose, and if so, for what?
I'm also curious about the lead boxcar, Northhamton & Bath. Anyone care
to speculate if it was carrying anything special? What I've learned
about the NB is is that it is a short (~7 mile) short line in the cement
industry area around Allentown, PA. It seems odd that Portland Cement
would need to be delivered to north central Illinois from Pennsylvania.
I realize its entirely possible that this car simply is a victim of a
"need empty box car .... here's one!!" type shipment, but off of a
short line puzzles me a bit. I'd like to think there was a bigger
reason. Anybody got one? (besides Charlie V, he and I've discussed it a
bit)
