They immediately (with a leasing company) found dentists and other investors to pony up 40 grand, or so, for their own boxcar. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />In regards to that link, I wrongly assumed at "MR" was a reporting mark of Montana RailLink, it is in fact a reporting mark of the McCloud Railway Company. <br /> <br />That's interesting to me because I see the "MR" reporting mark all the time in my area on boxcars. <br /> <br />Interesting.[8D]
