Would there be a usual arrangement for cars where the train line terminates rather than continues thru?
Mike,
I only be guessing but since Carmen don't do any more than necessary...
I'd be thinking the Airline most likely would have been left in place and plugged at the Airhose anglecock. They probably removed the anglecock to prevent any accidental loss of air, maybe they were lazy and just unscrewed the Airhose?.
But then since no pictures exist, other than those taken of the #09271 after the plow was demounted for the Scraptrain that will confirm or deny the exisitance of the trainline complete as far as the Headstock.
One of those excellent Quandary suppositions that plague the perfectionists.
