ERNEST YEAGLEY General We would receive these bucket of bolts at North Platte NE on the UP. Always knew they were in consist by smoke on the horizon, and idling at the shops. Joke at the shops were GE could not make a decent lightbulb, let alone build a decent locomotive! Great documentation of the final years of the Rock Island in action. 5/25/2008 1:21:24 AM
