Jon Aldridge here, Springfield, Missouri. I was a locomotive engineer on the Frisco/BN for 10 years back in the 70's & 80's. I found this forum while doing a little research on Frisco diesl power and thought I'd see what it's all about. I used to build HO engine consists mounted on oak "panel rail" for folks, mostly GP-38's and SD-45's in the orange and white scheme. From where I live here in Springfield I can look out my kitchen window and see the 4524's nose. I'm a little new to forums so if someone send a note and I don't respond immediately, it's probably because I haven't figured out how yet. Just be patient, you know how hogheads are. Jon

Hello, Jon,
Good to have you here. I am a transplanted Springfield boy, [ 55 years young at last count!]. I have very fond memories of the home town. Most of my McGilvry family worked for the Frisco in one way or another. Every time I am back, I try to re-visit the old haunts- the yards, or whats left of them, Grant Beach Park and others. I am going to try and ask a few of my cousins if they may have some Frisco stuff they would be willing to share with our group.
All the best,
Dan:)
