Nostalgia & History > C&NW Butler yard 1986

I like the C&NW and MILW RD truck trailers. Yard shots taken from the Hampton Ave overpass in the Spring of 1986. The division office building was for sale at that time.

Yeah, I noticed that after the fact. I did zoom in on it. Sure looks like a sleeper, fewer windows than a coach, and no bathroom windows on the end. No fluting and I can't spot a number. Maybe bi-level Phil can chime in on this.
