I wrote an email yesterday that didn't show up on the list about safety and of blowing snow. I think you would have enjoyed it. Good health to you, Clark ... a...
Gene according to the M&StL Loco Roster by Edson (see the group files for a pdf copy) it appears diesel engine D-438 had a construction number of 637. The...
I've been studying these photos and I'm speculating that the Wilson reefer being poled is being placed onto the Milwaukee road transfer judging by the location...
I really enjoyed seeing the photo showing poling a car into place. And Chuck's question about poling caused me do a little research. Below is a composite of...
Louis, plenty of room out on the limb. Waiting for Gene to join us:) When you looked at the photos could you see any markings on the loco cab? I could not,...
I'll join Doug and Louis on the limb. As I studied the original approx. 3" x 5" photos I could see no lettering or any other type of markings on "637." I...
I posted 3 more photos to the coal chute folder in Photos. I bought 2 photos on eBay and paid waaaaaaay too much for them. I don't know the location but all...
I just looked through my photos and would go with 438. It's the only EMD switcher I have photos of that doesn't have the aluminum stripe under the cab window....
No, Doug, I couldn't see any markings. I wonder if because D-438 had been a demo it arrived in a blank state as opposed to the locos specifically ordered to...
Hey,you're bringing tears to our eyes, Gene. Here we sit with nearly two feet of snow on the ground. Cold weather crops are only a fantasy. BTW I'm starting to...
Early M&StL employee timetables show a town called Carlyle located between Wecota and Onaka. There is also a station called Carlyle Jct. where the Milwaukee...
Carlyle was 2 miles West of Norbeck. The town failed in early 20s and a few buildings were moved to Norbeck. Only thing left at the old townsite is the...
Thanks for the reply. Norbeck must have been the same location as Carlyle Jct. where the Milwuakee crossed. Dennis Carlyle was 2 miles West of Norbeck. The...
A photo album entitled M&StL EMD Diesel F-units has been created in the photos section (second page). Only those photos that are for sure free of copyright...
This question and answer is from another group. Clark ... Answer: Unfortunately, the answer is almost none. Back in the dark ages, when these models were...
I am looking for ANYTHING on ARTHUR FOOTE born 1870, died 1946. 1900 Ft. Dodge census shows him as "Railroad Laborer" Shows up in Ft. Dodge 1901 city directory...
Thanks Gene, the copy I have of the (Bill Armstrong?) photo of 445 at Mason City is cropped so I can't see Midland Coop. The photo taken on the depot platform...
Gene, Thanks for sharing ! These are amazingly crisp My favorite is the one showing fine 1950's RR action in MC Lots to look at for period modeling IMHO Marc ...
Louis, ... lukewarm ... zero I ... There was a movie with a guy "cold hand" something...any connection <VBG> Don't know why but your story reminded me of the...
