Don't know if this has been addressed before, but there is a black or dark color strip on top of the short hood end that I believe is an anti-glare strip....
Hello, A few weeks ago I mentioned a couple books I have from the 1890's listing detailed info on trains running between Atchison and Kansas City. The info ...
Nate, I'm pretty sure the black strip you see is the anti slip stuff they put on the nose for maintenance. If it's like the stuff CSX uses, it's similiar to...
I would like to request input from other MOPAC List members about what models of MOPAC Diesels should be preserved, if or when such opportunities might arise....

Matthew, Steve and Jim: With respect to my post on Feb. 27th about 3rd Street in Austin, I would like to make the following corrections and clarifications: ...
My name is Terry. I have been a member of the Mopac historical society for a few years. I would be interested in seeing if my Grandfather, John Durkin, is...
Terry, Yes that is a maintenance date for the locomotive and you are correct about 2/13 being February 1913. Exactly what COTFc means eludes me now (something ...
Yes they would be But. If these are the ones from OMI I believe they have missed the mark in the correct length, but I am not sure about this. There was some...
Thanks for the quick response. I have done a search on some of the groups but don't find a lot on T&P much less the caboose. I you could point me to a new...

... happen ... Thanks boss! Now, back to the MoP.......... BTW, on preserving MP diesels, no C36-7 was ever delivered in blue- they were all yellow & gray. If...
The only GP7/9's that survived beyond the MP were the C&EI geeps that went to L&N. I show only four of those surviving today and I think only two are...

I should have gone to the MPHS page sooner. I did go there and ordered the book. I should receive it shortly. On a similar note, I am not experienced enough to...
There are still some bargains around on brass Mopac Caboose's (Cabeese) on E-Bay. Apparently the Overland run didn't sell as well as expected. Also look on...
