The end is in my sights and it is really just a matter of a few months or a choice to stick with the mission of closing camps until that is done. Word is (at the moment) the end of the year for camp closures. So, the answer is July on the inside, and perhaps December on the out.
With the passing of Ron Harr, we have a lot of "re-inventing the wheel" to do to find those lost locomotive sheds. But I am up for the challenge , or a good beer and pizza and some hanging around, pestering Taylor.
