Fellow railfans--on the continuing topic of RR songs, I'd like to add that I very much enjoy a somewhat scratchy copy of Johnny Mercer's "On The Atchison, Topeka, and the Santa Fe" that my wife and I have in our ca. 1948 vintage Wurlitzer jukebox at the moment. If anyone wants words or info about that particular song/record, I may be able to help. Second--I posted a note on January 27 asking if anyone knew about high-speed ground transportation R&D. I've been disappointed that I didn't stir any responses from this group. Any thoughts? Finally, re. cabeese ("jr" message of 29 Jan)--plural of caboose-- if any of you folks get info about how to buy an out-of-service caboose, I'd sure like to know about it. I'd seriously like to get one or possibly be part of a group that buys one, depending upon how much they cost, obviously! At the moment, I'd be most interested in "cabeese" available on the West Coast. Thanks in advance. Later--Jim Price, San Diego, CA.

An interesting graveyard of advanced Railroad technology is the Pueblo Colorado Airport, where they have on display several experimental high speed trains. -Ron
