    1. [StL-Metro] Terminal RR Assoc. of St. Louis
    2. ******************************************************************** TRR Association was one of the largest passenger and freight operations in the world. At one time it owned the Union Station, and the Merchants, the Eads, and the MacArthur Bridges. You might try to contact Larry Thomas, 4482 Lindell Blvd., who I think who heads up some kind of historical organization concerning the TRR. I think they primarily ran switch engines and operated some private lines serving some of the St. Louis manufacturing companies. Type in <TERMINAL RAILROAD ASSOCIATION OF ST. LOUIS > in your search engine and go to that site - that's where I got the above info. Their yellow and green sort of sunflower shaped logo was a familiar sight around the freight yards of years past. You might also try the Museum of Transportation out in Kirkwood - I'm sure they would have a lot of information there - they may even have an old TRR caboose or switch engine. Are they still around? I don't know. George Kahle W. Palm Beach, Fl. bapaghk@aol.com *********************************************************************
