Re: (erielack) Last train on West End (3)

Sorry Jim,
No photos, but have some color slides of these trains...I pulled these out 
earlier, and I have them shown as BRC-76 e/b (which I recall coming back as 
BRC-77 w/b)...I can't tell from the slides in which direction they were 
loaded or mty, but I don't recall seeing much of them beyond early '77...
