I'm really glad that you decided to bring this back, I really enjoyed seeing them on the RR line forum.
Ron,

I agree and happy to do it again. These covers are just to nice and colorful not to share.

Quote from: Rick on October 18, 2025, 06:56:02 PMTom, "Monk" must have been stealing for a long time because back in 1931 that was a lot of money.
It woks out to over 21 million in todays dollar.

I wonder if the story by E. S. Dellinger titled "Easy Money" was about theft too?



Rick,

I can only assume it was easier to steal from boxcars in 1931. In todays money, one boxcar may get you 21 million.

I was wondering if the "Sunk without a Trace" story was true.

Tom really great to see this come alive again.

I was if that was a true story also "Sunk without a Trace"?

Always enjoy the Railroad Magazine and it's varients.

Sunk without a trace, having lived around the Great Lakes I can imagine that could certainly true.  There are hundreds of ship wrecks in GL history many that were without a trace.

Tom,
You certainly seem to manage your retirement time better than I do! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this site.
My lone trepidation is given the posts to other sites and their ultimate demise, I am typing my post with fingers crossed. Third time charmed?
Working on my second million. I gave up on the first.
