It's good to have in with the Trainmaster. He's always good for information on the unusual. It seems I never miss anything these days.
Back in the late 70s and early 80s, I saw trains on the Avard sub all the time when I went fishing at Lake Keystone. I saw so much Santa Fe power on that line that I actually thought it was part of the Santa Fe system. haha
"Blondes" and a couple warbonnets still go by Kirkwood, but you were lucky to catch the black and yellow unit. I will wait out back for it!
