Congratulations Kurt and all the folks at RRMPA. It is good to see things getting done!

Oh, yeah, baaaaaaybeeee! #4882 in plain black was a good friend when I was a kid. She was my favorite of the NY&LB pool. A class act until the end.

Of course, Elkhart being a NYC town several hundred miles west of Enola, she almost HAS to be restored in PC get up.

It's funny, but me thinks there are at least 5 GG-1's from the "red team" preserved or stored within site of the "green team's" Water Level Route. #4882 is the only one in official PC dress black.

Thanks, Shawn, for your kind words...good to see "Tom Thumb" and "Lafayette" undergoing contract work across the street. Your 175th event next summer promises to be a winner.
