Re: (erielack) turntable at Slateford



bill Shultz.and others.  when posting a url to the list go back to the 
shortest url that will get a link. In the case of this one 
http://www.roaringrockrest.com/DickHarpster/ is th basic link and you 
can then get to any of his pictures including the one of the   locomotive.

To me the loco looks like a 4-4-0.  and yes 891
