Re:Re:(erielack) EL 2007 calendar - description and review

Well, actually, Janet and Randy Brown didn't write a word of the posting quoted.  I suppose it doesn't really matter -- unless someone is trying to do some research later.

In fact, I haven't bought a 2007 calendar yet.  I didn't buy the 2006, based on the apparent general consensus that the photography was poor and the captions were worse.  I guess I'm waiting for a calendar produced by someone who has all those crystal clear, sun-side pictures of exactly what I want to see, with captions that are dead-on accurate and complete.  Until then, I just read the comments about the existing calendar and feel happy that I didn't waste my money.

Out here on the left coast, these cars are known as "yellow  stripers".  They are 40' boxcars rebuilt with 10' doors and were  assigned to lumber service.
