I hope that Steve and Paul will know that their efforts are greatly appreciated by the "Away Crowd." I was rather active on and off over 45 years ago, then have been MIA and out of the region for too long. In all those years, though I heard great stories by Bruneau of last runs of the IT, I never rode the mainline cars. A little more frequent operation and in great condition will be a joy, someday. Thanks!
