VOLUME I July, 1986 NUMBER 2
JULY 4
INDEPENDENCE DAY
JULY 4... 1776
On this historic date, our forefathers pledged
their lives, fortunes and sacred honor for the
maintenance of their independence.
In a time of peril and grave danger to ideals held
dear, they struck a spark which has never died.
In the midst of uncertainty and confusion, they
molded a pattern that still fits today!
JULY 4... 19 51
It is fitting today... when things we hold
dear are threatened ... to remember the
spirit in which our country was founded.
Once again it is time to pledge " our livens,
our fortunes, and our sacred honor" to main-tain
the independence we celebrate today.
While written thirty- five years ago, the message remains the same...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!
Many small towns were originally
established as railroad " tank" towns,
built around the old steam engine water
tank. One such town is located fifteen
miles north of Dallas, Texas. Established
in 1902 along the St. Louis - San
Francisco Railway track, the community of
3,400 proudly carries the name Frisco,
Texas.
The Volume 51, Number 1,
1986 ( June issue) of the
National Railway Historical
Society Bulletin featured a
cover photo of Frisco
streamlined Pacific No.
1031. The museum currently
has two photos of No. 1031
on display. One showing it in service at
the Tulsa depot and the other showing it
on its way to meet the scrap yard torch!
Memberships in the NRHS are available.
