Thanks for the heads up, Bill. I'll have to order this issue. I spent the day today down along the P&L and was surprised at all the car storage they're doing....

Other than fertilizer checmels, not much. The Bennett lumber mill is the only other customer that I know of, mostly it seems to be storage right now. I know...

... Well, I noticed that the box to send it to new members was no longer checked, and I don't know how long it's been that way, so I thought that I'd just...
Gang: I heard today from a pretty reliable non Watco source that the GRNW is beginning to liquidate a lot of equipment including surplus or non-operating track...
Well that's not particularly good news. Had to happen I suppose. Watco seems to be fairly efficient at extracting cash value from properties. I'm actually...
... Watco ... swing ... I did try to contact Gene through another party today but don't know if they talked or not. I think the WI&M people bugged the Watco...

Chris, thanks for the heads up on the double Privy, it is perfect for my layout, which will ironically end up about 20 miles from your place.... Oh and while I...
Hi Camron, I'm just glad I can help a guy out when he is in need of an outhouse ;-) Why don't you tell us more about your layout. I hope you mean you are 20 ...
