Description:  R/H shot of the train. The marks you see on 925's 'skirt', were probably put there by a derailment she had in 1982, while battling snow on the "Gaffs".

Description:  Mail car 5015 used as a kitchen for the "Express diner". When food was served on our passenger trains, I'm told by most people that it was first class, with immaculate white tablecloths and apron with sterling silverware and food was simply perfect.
