Russ, Lighten up!! Don't you realize that you yourself are a museum that we
the members of this list enjoy visiting. If you hadn't saved all of those
train consists, the group would have been that much more in the dark. I worked
with a lot of old head conductors like you, full of railroad knowlege and so
happy to share it with others, grin. Archie

David,
Have no idea what you are talking about Detroit Edison bought
it's unit new. C&S had nothing to do with it. Why do you want
anything at a Museum? My Wife likes some Museums but they have
nothing connected with Railroads. I could even be interested
with Museums if some of it involves boats/battleships etc.
The government can spend stuff on display, Railroads don't
need it.
Russ
