    Thanks, once again, Roger. It is mind-boggling to think of all of the facilities necessary to support steam operations, the coal towers, water towers and plugs, track pans, back shops, roundhouses, and as you have shown, the engineering and experimental aspects that no one seems to remember. No wonder the railroads were one of the leading employers back in those days. :tb-sad:
