Greetings all, coffee is on me today. INCH As usual the photos are great. I work on the maintance crew between Texarcana and Hooks Texas in 61 and 62 and we didn't have any equiptment that looked like. Back then most all was don by hand. We hand spiked, hand tamped, leveled the rail, pulled the rail, replaced rail, replaced ties all by hand. You can't get good pictures here in Lafayette. They only have a double mainline that goes through. There is a small staging yard on the Northwest end of town, but there is only about three miles of track there. You would have to camp out frof daybreak to nightfalkl to see a half dozen trains come through. An Amtrac and the rest freight. Did get some photos of the Lasta's SP Macaido that came through last year. But this is not an excersion train but a history of La. train. Not much fun. Well got to run. Still have work to do at the apartments. Have to get them ready to rent so I can buy another something for the layout. Welcome [#welcome]Jessie[#welcome]to the CS Us dirty old men will try to show our good manners [if we have some] when you visit. Later Neal
