Re: Big Steam Engine Blues

Agenda, now thats a big word, back here in Ohio we ran the GTW 4070 form Cleveland to Akron, two round trips each weekend on the old CT&V (B&O) with no problem until the park service bought the track, started a park and we got booted out for the right stuff, a diesel! Many millions of our tax dollars have goen into restoring the track but we were history. When I fired I loved to watch the kids, what was a common site for me at that age was very special to them. I loved to talk to old railroaders, who had been there and done that. All goen now for a diesel with the right connections. Be blessed for what we have and thanks to the class ones who have allowed big engines to run at all. Some of you may remember the 4070 ran all over for a time. I miss the 611, thank god for the narrow gauge. Happy holidays to you all!
