I gave him a 5 or 10 dollar bill, and he let me run the engine up the hill. THOSE were the days... no lawyers around. Just friendly people enjoying themselves with steam. Keystone1

We had to do three reels of your stuff to get that 4501 and Southern material for our video, and there were other Southern Shortlines. I remember the Rocton and Rion. Still have the transfers of those 3 films which were all very nice. Those shortlines were the last bit of US standard gauge steam in the U.S. Cheers, Greg Date: 03/19/08 05:17 Re: Rockton and Rion (SC) RR Author: ebt17rlh |
