Guys : In an astounding development, the Leonardtown and Savannah (long and skinny) in an attempt to improve the speed of their Savannah - Atlanta express has contracted with Japanese Rail authorities to try out the Japanese "Bullet" train on their line. With the generous agreement of operating labor, the management has imported a train set for trial. The attached shows the inaugural run using Japanese operators with L&S operators riding as coach / trainer poised for the first trial run to Atlanta. GO L&S !!
Happy Front End Friday !

Not to stray off topic. I saw the "Friction Powered" on the box and didn't realize what it meant until I googled it.😀. Interesting item. Do you have an idea what period it was produced?
