Gary Brugger General 1702 print from Aberdeen in 1987 sits on my office wall in 16X20. This loco spent a winter underwater when assigned to the Camas Prairie - I think in the early/mid 1970s. It was hauled out in the spring and rebuilt with it's chopped nose. Hated to see it go. 12/22/2009 11:34:45 AM
