[CBQ] I missed the party !

["smokyjoe66" <js08ws62@sbcglobal.net>]

The well-remembered and much beloved Bevier & Southern is but 30 miles from my 
home here in Brookfield, Missouri. In railfan terms that is my backyard. But, 
all of this talk about searching for a Q composite side gondola and finding one 
in the weeds south of Bevier, restoring its condition, and getting it to the 
National Museum of Transport in St. Louis, all without my knowing that effort 
was going on, makes me feel as though I missed the party in my backyard.

Would some kind soul in this group, send me an off-line e-mail informing me of 
who all was involved in this effort, when, and over how much time? Fascinating 
that it was done, and I certainly salute those dedicated souls who did it. Now, 
perhaps, if this group is still active they could just come back to Brookfield 
and get the classic 4-window wood waycar (still has wooden beams on trucks), 
that sits, rotting more each day, on a farm 2 miles out of town, restore it and 
get it safely into a museum,  all would be right with the world.

Thanks,

John A. Swearingen
