Answer» Greetings from a brand new member. I'm not sure if I posted my request to the right place. Because I had a specific question about XCOPY I started at the MSDOS forum, but my problem is very much about hardware too. If you are so inclined, please look at "finishing a hard-drive recovery process" in the MSDOS forum. Thanks so much for your time. install4youI deleted your signature.

The locomotive was built in 1934. I have long thought the A3s were among the most handsome steam locomotives of their era, although in the picture below you can see the RATHER ugly smoke deflectors which were added in the early 1950s.

Thanks for sharing. This was a very skilled job. The fireman needed to know the road, its up and down grades, the locations of all the signals, as well as the driver, because there always had to be enough steam pressure in the boiler to PROVIDE the power necessary to keep the train on time. Also he had to totally manage the boiler WATER level, steam pressure, everything. Hard enough in a stattionery plant but much harder in a hot, smoky, noisy, rocking, moving, confined space.
