@pd- I noticed that your Lionel Berk was identified on the tender as "Western Union Telegraph Co"  - just a question, did Western Union actually have their own locomotives to move their product?  Just curious.

Yes, Don, they actually had numerous trains used for line maintenance and repair. Whether they had Berkshire locos or not, no idea. The Lionel Railroaders Club actually sold a big set some two decades ago...this is the locomotive (pictured) that headed the set. The set was offered one car at a time with each issue of the newsletter...we bought the whole thing. I don't think the set has been on the track here in its entirety.
