Re: (erielack) December picture

Paul & all............
 I went back & studied the calendar foto some more & realized the old F-unit
has an EL in a diamond on the nose faintly visible throught the snow so
we're looking at a post-merger shot here & it's probly train 22, the E/B
connector for the Phoebe Snow.  On the other hand, the mainline train is
definetly on the Westbound maintrack AND if u look closely, you can see the
double doors of a baggage car at the fourth position from the right edge of
the foto. This would seem to indicate a Westbound train on the Westbound
main & NOT #2.

Walt Smith

(though it could very well be), but the 739-series diner isn't even visible
here.
