CR Dinosaurs at Work
Posted by rogerhensley on Wednesday, November 12, 2003 10:02 AM
As some of you are aware, I have created a 'Big Four Memories' (NYC) photo page http://madisonrails.railfan.net/big4memories1.html for my Railroads of Madison County web site where I am putting photos of the Big Four that don't fit into the lines that ran through Madison County. (Contributions welcome and credit given.)

To this as an 'Extra', I have added four shots taken at Vermillion Ohio in 1975 of the clean up and bridge span replacement utilizing two (count 'em, two) CR Big Hooks. They were too good not to use.

Enjoy!

No, I don't. However, you might consider the new book on the CinNorthern that I have mentioned on the site. As I understand, it is very comprehensive.
