    BNSF 1551 Back In Seattle

    BNSF 1551, the SD9-3 that worked the hump the Balmer hump in Seattle for many years, has returned. I haven't been to Balmer for a month or so, so I don't know exactly when it came back. Last I knew, it was at Topeka with a bad order main generator.

    The Fine Line Between Legal And Lost

    The "Train Shed Cyclopedia" can be found here: http://railroadtreasures.com/Railroad%20Collectibles.htm I noticed at the bottom of the page is a reference to "Cyclopedia on CD", but not yet a working link. They might already have plans on producing a CD, so all is not lost.

    Windmill train in Seattle?

    I think the barge to Alaska departs on Wednesdays, so the cars are probably sitting on Harbor Island.

    BNSF/UIP main tied up between Centralia WA and Portland on 12-1?

    Great time for the post, Lee. I dusted off a bunch of old equipment and recently uploaded ATCS, and was watching it 12/1. I thought I had done something wrong, or wasn't getting updates, as "my" board was sluggish. Stan

    Great job KOMO. Show them what the key looks like. The only thing you didn't do was show the "keyhole".
