Re: (erielack) Diamond and USPS delays

["Michael Dye" <luxpan_@_hotmail.com>]

Just one question concerning the current issue of the "Diamond". The caption 
for the top photo on the rear cover states that the pictured train is a 
"...loaded coal train, having come off the B&O at Carrolton, PA...". Now, am 
I missing something, or is there an error? Coal train? With covered hoppers? 
I'm assuming that it's just a typo.

LOVED the article concerning the UPS/Piggyback operations in Chicago! While 
reading the portion concerned with the problems with the "natives", I was 
reminded of the stories that Grandpa used to tell about how the EL couldn't 
send a signalman out to replace lights at night in Hammond/Chicago, unless 
they sent 3 or 4 (With "implements of destruction" in hand) to deter those 
folks.

An outstanding issue. Great job Rich. I'm gonna miss having your hand in 
this.
