On Being a restoration rail fan, circa 2004

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

Good morning, Abram:

This sounds like a dream shop for a railfan involved
in restoration activities, too!  Add to it a sand
blast booth, 3,800 psi pressure washer, reciprocating
saw, grinder... well, never mind.  A $2,500 gift card
to Home Depot would do nicely!

Thanks for sharing the list,

Frank

Maintenance Tools Required at Electric Interlocking
Plants," as given in General Railway Signal Co's book
"Electrical Interlocking," published 1913 and
reprinted in 1930, pages 369-370.

he wasn't "making" anything... he was just
"maintaining" it !
