And you didn't hook it up to your bumper and drag it back up north? For shame.

Holy Hoosier Line indeed BatTK.  Don't know how many have been scanned but when I discovered MON covered hoppers start disappearing, I went on a crusade to photograph every one I could find.  Some of the number series are nearly complete; others well depauperated by the time I returned from the military mit camera.  I even had a Batmobile to chase with; 2500 lb. car w/ 140 horses.  Turbines to speed!
