The cars are numbered 1317, 1319, 1320 and 1321.” I wonder why the number 1318 was skipped. It probably had to do with the material condition of the old coaches. I remember that some of them had a hole in the floor where the toilet should have been. You could look down and see the roadbed passing underneath. Larry, RedbirdR33 |
