[SEL] bridge engine update

[paulmaples at sbcglobal.net]

Hey Bill I have one of these engines spotted in an old Railroad Trestle
about 5 miles from me. If you have any success let me know and I will follow
the same part you went. I will not do anything now as it might interfere
with what you are doing.

If you go after the engine let me know how you plan to do this, I am curious
how you plan on getting it off of the bridge trestle.

Paul

Subject: [SEL] bridge engine update


after several letters and several months, i finally got a reply from kansas
city southern railroad today,,,, got a call from  the head of the bridge
dept at the shreveport office,,,,evidently, someone from higher up had
forwarded one of my letters to him and told him to check into it,,, his
words to me were " i think you've gotten the attention of one of the big
guys",,,,, so, maybe my letter to mr. haverty, the ceo in kansas city did
find its way to his desk.........
the guy i talked to today was very cordial and sounded very positive ,,,,,,
he didnt know there was an engine still at that location, but said he would
go to the location tomorrw and look it over,,,,,, his last words were " i
really think that i;ll be able to give you a call back and tell you to come
get it",,,,,,,,,
so, i guess we'll see,,,,,
