The interurban running incognito, can you guess whose it is? Dave Foster on the siding at the station with Robbi Haines and Mark Ross the passenger counter watches Paul as he checks his loaded train.

I keep telling Frank to keep his hands on the steering wheel but he won't listen.....Look Ma, no hands! Dick just entering the covered bridge after passing thru Shoe.

I knew it would be just a matter of time and I would find out who that disguised interurban belongs to...Ted Nyland! Wait and the trains will come, as Tom Pappas passes thru the Truss Bridge.
