"At last night’s ops I had a chance to thumb
through the latest RMC. I was
anxious to see Mike Brock’s article. Wow,
was I surprised! It was about a
passenger train!!!...A passenger train!!!!
I spun the magazine around so the
others could see and said “This guy owns
the Steam Freight Car Yahoo group.”
The answers were all the same “So why
is he writing about a passenger
train?” "
Hmmm. Believe it or not,
I am wordless...but only for a few seconds. First,
as was pointed out, I
am the "owner" of the STMFC. As such, I ruled several
yrs ago that a mail
train could be considered to be a frt train...since as I
noted, it can and
did haul freight. More so, in fact, than passengers.
Second, I do...from
time to time...write about other aspects of RR's...even
regarding steam
locomotives. So, I don't just confine myself to frt cars.
Anyhow, mail
trains are among the more interesting types of trains no matter
what group
of trains they fall into. So, there.
