Thanks, Don. Yes, powerful medicine indeed. And priceless, not easily repeated.
Hi Ron! This sounds like a Ron Hall I know from around Interbay, Tacoma and invirons. Charlie
Last Wednesday I went to a monthly lunch attended by retired 'rails' from around the Seattle area. I asked a conductor sitting next to me about...
Those photos were posted earlier this month in the Passenger operations forum. Sorry, I don't have any more that were taken on that trip. Charlie
Thanks Chris. The photo was at 19th St in Kansas City, Summer 1968. Charlie
Then I would say the photo my Dad took was definitely that of the Leaky Roof bridge piers. I never had a clue since the slide was so poorly...
Thanks Karl! I'm still a little confused. In your last two sentences you say: ..."the train (meaning 59-58) handled the baggage cars"... then...
I'm curious about the operation of these scheduled trains insofar as how passengers were handled. Notations in passenger timetables published in...

Thanks to all for your kind comments. I'm really happy that these photos have finally seen the light of day and can be useful for many purposes....
So there were two back-up's required to get over the road. Any more? Thanks Karl.

[ATTACH] As the last offering I include two passes from the KCC&S, "Leaky Roof". My grandfather on dads side was a claim agent for the M-K-T and...
[ATTACH] Here is a much better photo of the interior of a coach used on these trains. A branch line this may be but the crew is attired in full...
[ATTACH] On the rear of Train No 20 this day we had a business car. My best guess is it is SLSF 5 but others may overrule me on this. Other...
