Peter Hultgren General Thank you for posting these pictures. I always enjoy your posts, Mr. Ayers - they contain a lot of history and railroad action from years past. In this picture, I spy a yellow train order flag the Kendall tower operator has displayed, likely intended for this approaching train. 12/25/2018 11:36:32 AM
