Thanks so much for the WSLS a camera! It is great to look at the old Virginian station as well as some of the South yard! When I was a kid, I actually took the train number three West from that station! Great memories! I understand that Amtrak is storing equipment around there somewhere didn’t see any of it but understand that it is there! Once again, thanks Ken Tanner

> Keep shopping. I sometimes run across books on ebay at decent prices (not very often), and sometime Amazon will have one at a better price. So I always check there before bidding on an ebay offer. Many sellers have an inflated idea of the value of an out-of-print book, but now and then I can find one at a decent price.
