Back about 1984-85 Seaboard cabs started to infiltrate onto the Chessie lines with some of the better Chessie cabs like the baywindows heading south. Figures, the Seaboard cabs that we got were all older and crappy. One big problem was that no one up north had keys for the Seaboard cabs so they were open to theft and damage.

That must have been in the early '90s.  Gerry
