excellent article gave my feeble attempt new life.Thank you. You mentioned the
routing of these cars over the O&LC.I have a rather sizable collection of
Rutland wheel reports dating back to 1942 and have yet to find any of these
cars on any of these consists.If you have some dates to help me narrow my
search I would be very appreciative.BTW your layout also expresses your skills
as an outstanding modeler.Armand Premo

reports I know some of them were routed from the D&H to the Rutland RR at
Rutland VT, up the Rut, across the OL&C div, on to Chicago. The Bob
Collins color photo shows one going south on Richmondville hll, and I have
