    While the carmen were walking the set and release on No 133, they discovered a bad-order that needed to be removed from the train.

    A Baldwin VO-1000 switch engine was called to cut the car from the train.

    The shot was taken from the steps of the Rosedale Yard Office. The bridge crosses Turkey Creek.

    After about an hour, the train was reassembled, pumped-up, and ready to roll south.

    Locomotives FP7A SLSF 5044 and F7B SLSF 5127.

    Rosedale Yard, Kansas City, KS.

    Spring 1964.

    Ethan,

    Thanks for the sentiments.

    My father and grandfather were Frisco railroaders, and my father allowed my brother and me to accompany him on many occasions.

    He was also very good about explaining what we saw, and how things worked.

    I have been hooked on trains for as long as I can remember, and I have been collecting things for quite some time.
