| Bob Campbell pointed out I didn’t mention the short line connection of the Lee County Central Electric in my subjects for the upcoming presentation. The discussion of that line may be of the most interest to some of the audience.
Thanks for the reminder Bob.

Reminder is below for the next BRHS "live with Leo" presentation.Tonight while working on the details I remembered the late 50s wreck of the Zephyr at Lee. Can anyone send me a picture or two ? I have the ICC report but don't have a photo.
