(erielack) The PAs are home



Thought y'all'd like to know that John C. Benson reports that the PAs crossed 
the border yesterday, 11/30/99 at 2 p.m. local time en route to Portland.  
They are no longer in Mexico.  Feels good that the 20-plus-year battle is 
over.

These are the two hulks, and much restoration is necessary.  But at least the 
work can finally begin.  Plans are to restore one of them cosmetically to 
Santa Fe for the Smithsonian, and Doyle McCormack wants to make his 
opperational in a Nickel Plate paint scheme.
