Nostalgia & History > Happy Thanksgiving - M&MF 1202Date: 11/26/15 07:51 Happy Thanksgiving - M&MF 1202 Author: refarkas It is hard for me to believe that this was taken in August 1975 instead of recently. My grandmother had died, and I took a railfan trip to help with the loss. Fellow railfan John Woodworth and I were in Morehead, Kentucky to check out the M&MF. To our surprise they were running a coal train, and while I normally only took roster shots, I took this and a distant train shot. Later on, I discovered the M&MF rarely moved a train, so this became a "Thankful" even though it only showed a little part of the train.
Happy Thanksgiving. Bob Date: 11/26/15 08:39 Re: Happy Thanksgiving - M&MF 1202 Author: ns2557 Almost looks like it was an ex D&S Baldwin. Nice catch. Ben
