Re: PRR 254288
I checked with the person that owns the train lists. Never thought about the fact that the list are past this groups end date...He found 3-4 more cars returning and a few cars coming north with loads.

Freight cars on the workbench
My latest blog post shares updates on a few freight car projects, plus car reweigh details for the 1920s. It's been a busy month on my workbench.
