[PRCo] Re: Charleroi Video

[John Swindler]

Concerning "big jones cars', was recently surprised at the width of the typical low floor cars.  The low floor trailers were several inches wider.  Wonder if that also was a reason the motorization of the low floor trailers stopped at four.
 
Yes, score one more for a media award, particularly the dubbed in sound track.
