Friends, Oops. Sorry. I don't always read every post. O.K, So there was an odd tank car left over from the Allegheny Central tourist operation at Covington, Virginia. A short

It was my first time to Cocoa Beach and I was blown away. My only regret is that I waited this long to go. The clinics were spectacular and I learned a lot. I also was inspired by the incredible
