[PRCo] Re: Historic Chaos

[John Swindler]

The forsythia (?) should have been the give-away that 1705 must have been used on an earlier fantrip.  I was thinking of the ERA 1963 convention.  Three-car fantrips were run on two days, and it was commented that they were not able to cover even half the system.  It was a different world.
 
Cheers
John
