Re: (erielack) Pocono Chrysler Facility

Bill and Jeff:
    You guys cleared it all up.  Jeff, the photos on your site now remind me 
of what I saw although I didn't recall 4 tracks.  Glad you pointed that out.
    Bill, after you provided that very clear explanation, I now understand 
what I am looking at on your track diagrams.  Thank you also for giving the 
car capacities on those tracks.  I have a good feel for what was there.
    Great work.  Thanks.
