[PRCo] Re: FW: Snodders Switch

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

You did identify the location Mr.Brashear; my apology for the oversight.
I was miffed by your later post of the 1111 displaying the 78 on the 28-
loop and forgot your original post.
.
I anticipated a surname; it is not unlike Elwyn known as McNeilly to
me for the road that runs beneath the interurban in Overbrook.  I never
knew Elwyn until I read it here in the archives!
.
I wish to follow your lead and respond below your writing but that extends
the "quote bar" on the left which then causes confusion for the reader
doesn't it.  I do not see a setting for changing where I post a reply; I shall
look some more.  There is a work around but it eludes me at the moment.
.
Phil
