Electric Traction Movies, 1928

[NW Mailing List]

Wow!!! Thank you Abram!!!!
Those may not be news to a lot of people, but it was news to me.  Looked
through some of the others and saw a few scenes of N&W LC-1's and a wide
assortment of N&W coal hoppers and high capacity gons (okay: battleship
gons).
