QUOTE: Originally posted by West Coast S We bid farewell to the caboose, the manned train order station, the manned interlocking tower, paper orders. Farewell to first and second generation motive power in mainline use. Farewell to the WP,MP,RI and so many others. Fairwell to the ancient SP wooden beet gondolas and eventually the beet trains themself. Farewell to fricton bearing trucks. Fairwell to the semaphore signal, the wigwag crossing signal except for a few isolated cases, now zeously sought out by railfans...The merger that wasn't SP+SF...the merger that was Rio Grande + SP. The 80s imprinted mixed memories for me.. watching the death and rebirth of the American railroad, not always for the better. Dave
