Greetings!

	MANY  Thanks, John, for taking the time to do all this typing; Very
Much Appreciated.  Have glanced over it and notice many details
concerning W&C, the various Charleroi predecessors, etc., and will have
to take time later to read it - will print it out and take it to the
dentist with me - good antidote for pain!
	For this geocities website in the first paragraph below, could you
please give the URL?
	Also extremely interesting that they used fractions for some of their
train numbers:-)<Ultra-VBG>
