| "In May 1992, I was in Boise and was driving past the M-K lot, when without prior knowledge of it, I came face to face with a Baldwin road switcher!! I shot several images over and through the chain-link. I learned later it was there to be hoisted off its trucks and loaded onto flatcars for shipment and, supposedly, preservation in the Portland area. Glad I got these shots when I did." |
