This leaves 385, 389, 390, 392, and 393 in service. They all have Alco trucks and bells mounted in the short hood.Super Chief wrote:So how many does this leave with Alco trucks? Also how many still have the bells mounted in the short hood? I always thought that was a neat spotting feature with a local flavor.

Built in 1966, they have lived a good life.
The bell of 388 (Alma milk truck wreck along with 393) is polished and is mounted
on a stand in my office in Florida.

And while it's great to see 10-14 car trains in Traverse City again, some of that are those former TSBY covered hoppers and TSBY former AA double door box cars coming up here to be scrapped.TSB wrote:He only knew it as a black bell but low and behold she's solid brass.
They are nearly all brass and beautiful. We had to paint them to keep
the unsavory element among rail fans from stealing them. Bless their hearts.
Ah yes, Stevens, met him in 1987 and kept in contact until he retired. Same for Stan Bogen (also former MN, then TSBY). And Bud, who I think retired several years before Stan. Don't know if Ray stayed on with GLC or not....TSB wrote:Chuck Stevens, "Bud" Zosso
Chuck was retired from being the top cop on a big Navy ship, then retired
from the Michigan Northern and finally also retired from The TSB.
