Some of my Southern Excursion pics from the Steam Group post. http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?f=10&i=5277&t=5277 Date: 01/21/03 19:34 Re: Manassas,VA Steam-25 years ago Author: mderrick Let me guess, is all that farmland now subdivsions, stripmalls, etc.?

Mike Derrick http://www.shortlinesusa.com Date: 01/21/03 20:05 Answer for Mike Author: mancey Since 1982, Manassas has grown from 15,000 to 36,000, but that steam scene is really about the same. There is a Merchant\'s Tire warehouse beyond the lumber pile now, but that\'s about all. Osbourn Park H.S. is in the far left background.

Date: 01/23/03 05:05 Re: question for chuchubob Author: johnacraft CCB,
your August 3, 1979 date on 722 at Belvoir, VA, caught my attention. Could that possibly be the August 31 trip to Strasburg during the NRHS Convention? JAC |
