[PRCo] Re: Didn't Stop Soon Enough

[Schneider Fred]

Manchester was open until June 1959.

But are we making assumptions that they could not run it?   I've got  
a picture of a 1700 that ran into a truck and pushed in the dasher so  
far you couldn't open the front door.   It ran all the way to  
Charleroi before being changed out for another car.   I have the  
picture of all the people getting off.   Lester Wismer took the picture.
