Re: SVRy Boxcar 1353 Arrives in McEwen...

I was not in on the recovery effort this week, but yes it has long been known. About 10 years ago SVRR's Pres. asked me to negotiate acquiring this car. I met the owner and was informed that I was only one of many SVRR people that had talked to her about it over the years. We agreed that it could be had if SVRR built a fence across her back yard. The car itself provided a separation from the alley behind to her back yard. I reported back and was told there was no money at that time available to build the fence so it would have to wait. I am thrilled that Taylor, Jerry and perhaps others have finally pulled this off. Talking to Taylor Sunday, volunteers will be needed to build the fence and I for one will gladly show up to help on that.
