Apache Railway to shut down

[Tom Pinnick]

According to TRAINS magazine newswire, the Apache Railway will shut down September 30th. I believe there is at least one MONON C-420 in their roster.

Stew, I thought the one that Apache had was numbered #82 - I could be wrong though.

Apache #83 is former Monon #516 according to info on MRHTS website.
