Trainnews - volume 2 - issue 294 - 11/29/09
Notice - My primary internet connection is still down. Comcast tells me it is due to a software change on thier side and they cannot start to work on it until Monday. So trainnews will publish w/o photos as the dial up link I am using will not support the transport of photos on a large scale, hopefully they will retun on Monday Evening.
