Questions. First, the #5 & #6 trains are listed as using engine 17-4 and 4-17. What does the #4 represent, since engine #4 is being used as the Austin night helper? Second, why would train #6 eastbound have empty lumber flats and empty boxes? I would have thought empties would be westbound, back to load at the mills. Third, the Austin night helper hauled a train including 1 steel load from Whitney to Tipton. Would that be a carload of rail? Seeing the usage of #103 4-4-0 is great, as well as seeing McCoy siding in usage. Brian
