Well, since we have located you....or you have located us....I'm glad I said something charitable about you, rather than the opposite! :-D

BTW, you are not alone in noting the incredible wealth of information those old timers contributed to that publication.  Looking at the issues from the 1940's, you had men who had hired out in the early 1900's or even before the turn of that century.  What WOULD they think of today's railroading?  The chorus of "Harrumph"s would be deafening! Yet I think on another level they would have to be impressed by trains of 14,000 tons or even more.

WELL WELL WELL...Ah do Declah...I guess I did write this diatribe...Tell me Don..when did I do this????   I did offer the caveat that what I knew I took from the old RAILROAD MAGAZINE.

I'll read this over and see what I said.  Just as I said in he original...I'll take questions with answers either "made up"  or taken from what I recall from RAILROAD MAGAZINE.

Pete...I guess the real Pete is ME.

Relax, Pat!  You're among friends here and you have made it abundantly clear in several posts you are not the author.  Nobody's going to accuse you of swiping it.  I WILL thank you for posting it, so much of "how things were" back then are lost forever and it's good to see resources like this perpetuated.  I'm sure the author went to the trouble of writing it exactly so it COULD be passed along through the years.  He, and you, have done us a service.

Here is the original posting  I would like to hear from the actual author as I want to make sure all know this is not my work.
