Thanks, Frank Date: 09/04/05 19:50 Re: New Orleans Public Belt Equipment in Houston Author: NH2006 I presume this was an evacuation train? At least someone planned ahead!

As of a few days ago they had not gone back to look over the railroad as things were "too dangerous".
Sure glad they got equipment out. Other railroads did so, but they had tracks of their own. I worried about NYPB. |
