Western Railroad Discussion > Shack livesDate: 09/07/20 14:35 Shack lives Author: x9000 Say this sitting at the Ethenol plant south of Bridgeport NE. Shack must now have a big paint brush.
Didn't get photos, but there are 6 former BNSF units now marked for Progress rail at their facility just north of Sidney. 2 look to be SD70's, on in warbonet and the other one of the current orange paint. At least 3 1300 series have been marked for Progress and are sitting there also.  Date: 09/07/20 14:45 Re: Shack lives Author: Curt Sorry, but I'm not getting this "shack" thing.

Date: 09/10/20 18:30 Re: Shack lives Author: train513 In the old days , "Shack" was a slang term for a brakeman . Because of Ernest Borgnine's character's vicious pride in his status as a Conductor , he was taunted by the hoboes who called him by the lowly term for a brakeman.
