I lived in Ravenna from '36 to '43. I remember the big 7000's and
fairly long consists of old varnish. When I was at NU in '48 and '49
the coaches were sometimes crowded with Cornhusker and Wesleyan students
going home for week-ends. (great old memories) Sorry to interrupt
your discussions.. I loved those E5's. Burlington E5's were unique and
always impressive -- outsanding examples of CB&Q creativity.
