[/quote] Yeah back in the early 1970s when I was a youngster I used to hang out at the Ladysmith Wi. station at times watching the trains . One of the crew members came up to me & started to chat a bit with me , I was asking a bunch of questions about various cars & locos on his train. I mentioned to him how neat those old units were. They turned out to be if I remember right , An F-7 A unit, an F-7 B unit & several other more modern units. I was told that they call them the covered wagons , Because they looked like a western wagon with its canopy . & I heard others reply to them as that also in the comming years. So ever since then the nic name kind of stuck to my mind.
