Rob-

That's a real shame he can't give you more notice.  I assume being a scrap
dealer, he's planning to dismantle them if they are not moved??

I was up there in May 1995 and took some pictures of the caboose, Stillwell
and box car(s).  Pictures of the caboose C316 Bay Window and Acrhed Window
Stillwell are up on my web site and the pictures of the boxcars will soon
follow.
