ABOUT THE COVER
A trio of BNSF Dash 9s rounds the curve with a string of new hoppers bound for the coal fields on Joe Falettis Coal Valley BNSF layout in central Illinois. Joe built this layout using portions of a previous layout he had built with his father in his parents home. Turn to page 38 to see how Joe continued a family tradition and honored his fathers memory by keeping the trains rolling. Photo by Chris Lane and Randy Lee. INSET: Starting on page 32, Ken Edmier finishes up his article on detailing Santa Fe PS2-CD covered hoppers. Photo by Ken Edmier.
