Re: Wigwags in Alton, IL
Many of those Google images are about 2 years old so anything vintage we may find now has an increasingly slim chance of remaining in service. Sad but that's how it is.
You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.
