Ken, Al has explained what an AFE is, but I feel a little more information is necessary. At this time Gene Green has (I believe) the entirety of M&StL AFE's at...
Louis and list, I checked my photos of the 600's and find out that the extensions were in fact steel. I blew up the photos as far as I could and could not...

Ken, I know West Side Lumber #9 is a Shay. What wheel configuration Argent Lumber #6? John Bandstra apo09324 <apo09324@...> wrote: I know it isn't M&StL...
West Side #9 is a three truck shay and Argent Lumber (ex-Surry Sussex and Southhampton) #6 is a 2-6-0. They are slowly removing the Midwest Central paint and...
If you look in the link I will post you can see #6 and the Shay. The shots are several years old but the engines haven't changed much. You will have to look...
OK, gang, I've cooled off some. Sorry! May I expand a bit on what Doug said about the AFEs? The AFEs were required by the ICC and therefore some forms, most ...
Earlier today I was playing around with Google maps (http://maps.google.com/). Their satellite imagery is pretty good. They don't appear to have coverage for...

List I just got word that Gene Green had a heart attack this morning. The word is the doctors have apparently helped him, perhaps with angioplasty. But I do...
These two messages were posted on the CGW list. Sounds like Gene is on the mend. Doug Harding Iowa Central Railroad http://d.harding.home.mchsi.com Date: Sat,...
The caboose lettered CM&StP was actually recently aquired. It is from the Belleveiw and Cascade RR, a Milwaukee narrow gauge branch in northeast Iowa. As far...
I was looking at the Milwaukee caboose and realized that it was a new piece of equipment as the other cabooses were also there. I didn't know it was an old...
Doug: Certainly sounds like good news on Gene. If that's the extent of his problem he's lucky. With the symptoms he had it could have been a lot worse. Not to...
While off topic for this list... I find the Bellevue and Cascade fascinating as well. If the caboose is the one I have seen, I believe it was literally rebuilt...
That's the one Doug. There's more info at the Midwest Central Railroad's websit at www.mcrr.org under the current projects heading. BTW Doug, could you...

Gene wasn't the only one to check out the green M&StL box in Eagle Grove. A man who used to be an editor with CTC Board (I think) flew in from the west coast...

It's just a dirty rotten shame that the contractor cut that boxcar up - it would have looked great on a photographer's special at the B&SV. Coupled next to the...
Clark et al: The issue may be moot at this point owing to the passage of time, but I'll offer some thoughts nonetheless. I dug up two pictures of 2-8-0 460;...
