I worked with a guy who was the chief freight car person for the T&NO working in the Hardy Street shops in Houston starting in the late 1950's. He related an incident (in our time period)

Re: Off Topic--Shuttle
If you are going to a train event, why not take the train!
It will be cheaper and more fun, even if you have to take extra time to
