Nostalgia & History > Where-what-when?Date: 10/07/10 19:40 Where-what-when? Author: xtra1188w It probably won't take long before someone identifies where this was, but does anyone know under what circumstances I was riding in the caboose when I snapped this picture and when this was done?

Gonut Date: 10/08/10 07:43 Re: Where-what-when? Author: sptno I was involved on the break-in run. Got to do some firing, and lots of riding in the caboose.
Thanks for the memories Con. Pat South Austin, TX |
