Bob Date: 04/26/17 22:14 Re: A Morning in Fond du Lac Author: Ardenwood Thank you Bob for the correction. I remember you mentioned 618 at Heber, these are for you, taken in March 1988 (again I could be wrong).
  Date: 04/27/17 05:21 Re: A Morning in Fond du Lac Author: RRBadTrack Great memories of 1522. Thanks for sharing them.
Piloted her on the first freight break in run to Fond du Lac. Very smooth riding engine and a magnificent machine! R.R.
