Bruce, I assume those are safety screens to protect the windows and crew from rock and bottle throwers? I remember being really disappointed the first time I heard about train crews having to deal with stupid random attacks as they rolled through some areas.

Cabeese I can do....It's an old Varney kit, which was the whole consist of my ol' man's first "train". It ran behind a little 0-4-0, which has long since crumbled. That would make it about 57 years old...

Ralph, that's true, also heard a story that when they were left at the mines the kids from the local area would try breaking out the windows by throwing chunks of coal at the windows.

GTW Caboose on display at the Durand Union Station. I had the pleasure of catching Amtrak's Blue Water from this station last summer- also, the interior features the Durand Model Railroad Club Layout with a fantastic replica of the station!
