Nostalgia & History > Davis Jct Il 1/7/87Date: 11/10/12 20:12 Davis Jct Il 1/7/87 Author: ICG I think this line was Soo Line by this date, but Milwuakee Road paint could still be seen. Also MKT and SP power roamed around. This train was stopped and i shot it at a hand held 1/30 second. Tom Paris

Forget the name, but I believe it went up in flames about ten years ago. KC - boarded #103 there on several occasions Date: 11/10/12 23:59 Re: Davis Jct Il 1/7/87 Author: IC_2024 GRNDMND Wrote:
