    Washington Royal Line

    I hope this line makes it. Under the current ownership though, I am not so sure. U.S. Rail has a spotty history. In fact, they just lost the contract at Cincinnati for that line. All their shortline operations are very iffy, with little business. However, cars and locos on the line is some progress

    Washington Royal Line

    A gentleman on another forum I frequent, was one of the folks who operated that line for a while, using the old Alco. In fact, he was the last person to operate it, and parked it where it still sits today. He told me what year it was parked, but I have forgotten what he told me. I know for sure...

    North Louisiana & Arkansas updates

    Yes, thanks for the updates. It looks like another almost extinct rail line is slowly coming back to life. Great news. Jeff

    I thought the NLA had plans to run past lake Providence to the port and new chemical plant there. This development is going to throw a wrench into those plans. The port and the new plant WOULD have been a major source of business. Jeff

    New Railroad Company in Tallulah, La

    It is a new company started by the original founders of Railamerica. I think Marino is the last name. Jeff

    A photo of the caboose you are interested in, was published in the May, 1985 issue of "Trains" magazine. It is located on page 30. Jeff
