Amazing! That 'bug looks really cool. Makes me wonder if my area used to
have something like that here in central New Mexico. I think Santa Fe used
to operate passenger service between here, Socorro, and Magdalena until the
mid-60's. Wonder what equipment they used?

| Follow this link for configurations an equipment-info. (URL) FAR MORE interesting, the link at the bottom of that page. Leads to an extensive set of SantaFé links, including a WebRing. I've been reading a few hours! And still hours to go.... Klaas (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
