Brian;

Is CNUR 5 (Connersville & New Castle) on lease to the MAW or is this line owned by Indiana Box Car? Nice, photos of a "shoe string" short line operation!

Kevin,Lucius Beebe once stated in one of his books "Short lines are such a down home thing"..I agree with his assessment but,will add they are habit forming and easy to model...
