- Duncan, I happen to have a small bit of remembrance of the local that ran on the old K&W. Sometime in 1963 I believe because the student brakeman on the gravel train was Raymond Witthouse who happene

- Archie, thanks for the details on the crash. I knew it had happened and that 63 was the end of the combine's life, but didn't know all the details. Great to know. Duncan Duncan, I happen to have a sm

- Charlie (and list) - Thanks for the correction/clarification. You're right, of course, both with respect to the shorty combines and shorty baggage-RPOs (i.e., the ones NKP brought out a few years ago

- There is a persistent concept on the Burlington that I think is somewhat unfair. That it was (the word everyone seems to try to avoid) cheap. While it is true that the railroad was certainly consciou
