<g> I remember when there were *three* major builders. And I went to
EMDs 50th Anniversary party in LaGrange. I still have pictures from
that event. I'll post them when I get around to scanning them.
I've even got shots of a shortline running Fairbanks-Morse down in
Southern Indiana. Now, *there* was an engine to die for;-)
