NP 863 |
| Description: |
After many miles and many years of service--- having seen better days! Once again notice the steam engine bell and the diagonal number boards--- a hint of "the glory that once was" before the huge railroads of corporate America that we have today! Maybe you know what I'm saying- maybe you were also there in those days- before it become just more of the same old thing! "It's NOT the same railroad that i once knew and loved"! |
