Re: C&TS - May, 1981

Earl, I was married on June 20th, and shortly thereafter we headed for a 2-week honeymoon(That included railroad action as well :}. Anyway Kathi and I were at the C&TS when 489 came out for some sort of break-in run. This was likely the last week of June, or first couple of days of July. More likely late June. We were told it had just been restored and they were running it a little for break-in purposes. I think it ran to the wye, and to the yard limit, water tower and that was about it. I probably have a little sound film of it, and maybe some slides, but who knows where it all is! Anyway the 489 looked great, fresh out of the box. Thanks for the inside pics.

PS A friend of mine shot some video at Strasburg in late October. Earl was firing the first trip, and running 90 the next two. It was a Friday.
