Y6 in Saint Loius

[NW Mailing List]

Gordon,
its funny you mention this, I say this as I have heard a rumor from a 
couple friends of mine that are well connected in steam world. Stating 
that Wick has been overheard talking to the fellow that was in Charge of 
the Milwaukee Road 261 deal, about getting 611 in running order again, 
if he can her Roanoke to agree to loan her. I'm not holding my breath, 
as it is just a rumor, but figured I would mention it since wick made 
that comment about the Y6
