My guess is that these were MAIN trains...MAIN trains were certainly not low priority trains which I would assume that you implied by your "got stuck in the hole" comment....BTW...I wonder how many k

I'm not sure if MAIN is an acronym, but I believe these were troop trains based on some comments in Wayner's "Passenger Train Consists of the 1940s." Best regards, Ken Middleton Portage, MI krmiddle@
