Re: R-42 Retirement Run

They did that because in the days of deferred maintenance, if one car of a married pair needed main shop work and the mate was ok, they found new mate. They never bothered to put them all back together, even to the point of having a pair mixed as Westinghouse and GE.

They were "religious" about keeping the link bar cars together. They would just hold the mate outside the main shop while the b/o car was worked on.
