Hi Gang:
The DNC may be over (as well as the election) but there is still a story to tell.
First of all, B.N.S.F and N.S. were allowed to place their O.C.S.'s at North Station. I heard that Guilford wanted to put their train there but there was no room for a third train in the station.
As far as a railroad backing one person running for President, think again. They play to both sides of the tracks and donate to each!
C.S.X. was there but hidden over on the dry loop at Southampton St. yards. I have no proof but I bet that the C.S.X. train with two Amtrak locos always kept running and placed out bound were there for a quick getaway just incase they had to get you know who out of there in a hurry!
I went over to check out the C.S.X. train early one morning and was greeted by 15 or so C.S.X. police men in olive drab uniforms with automatic weapons! They were not in a good mood and would not allow pictures of the train.
Thanks....
