HI all Managed to catch the G&U a little Friday. Curious, any update on the power situation? GMTX #326 was working in Upton and I am curious now as to what power is usable these days. http://rrpicturearchives.net/pictures/20990/9.1.17.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

OK, I've been wanting an answer to this for years: What's with all the old rubber heels laying along the tracks at Chester MA??? Was there once a derailment that dumped them?
