Thanks much for the data Paul. Nice to hear it's roaming on EL ROW.  Anyone
wishing to see C347 in original paint and with all the windows, another
image from www.fallenflags.org  can be found at:

I don't know if William Nixon is still around, a member of the List, or
whatever, but I do appreciate all his photo contributions. Some of my
favorite images of Central NY (EL of course) are only possible because of
his efforts. Of course it goes without saying that an even bigger thanks is
due to George Elwood for running a website which makes viewing all these
images possible.
