Just finished the repair ( Darn 
) Welded rail can be such a pain. But, with the heat the next few days it could produce the same results. Stay tuned...

Postings on Facebook claim it's in Homewood (?) for PTC installation. Problem is, who puts PTC on a caboose, especially one as rough as the 79197?

Who puts the latest technology in to the oldest railroad equipment on the planet ? Why management of course ! and THEN they blame everyone (but them self's ) in the winter, when things don"t work right or the summer when its too hot for the equipment.GreatLakesRailfan wrote:Postings on Facebook claim it's in Homewood (?) for PTC installation.
