OK Tim, you got my curiosity going...I went over to the derrick track just to check what was there. The 250 Ton Industrial was there, but apparently meals are no longer prepared in a kitchen. There were 2 former Southern Railway lightweight baggage and rpo's and one modernized Southern heavy weight coach along with 3 panel cars, a tool car and a boom tender. <br />These are diesel wrecking cranes and are used in picking up derailments. They are not used much as most derailment cleanup is done by contractors such as Hulcher or R. J. Corman. <br />Used to be you could get a good meal on the wreck diner, but unless you were with the crew, you had to be invited . Lots of steak, roast beef, pork chops, potatoes, beans, etc. Good when you're hungry. Too bad! <br />Regards and have a safe day. gdc
