Co-owner of Pullman sleeper " Colorado Pine",
ex L&N "Plantation Pine".
The Pine series sleepers
are configured with 6 Sections, 4 Double Bedrooms and 6 Roomettes and were
built in 1953 to plan 4183.
Currently under going a full restoration with Amtrak
compatibility as the ultimate goal.
The car is based in Denver, Colorado.
Should you have any photographs of this car in L&N revenue service, could you please send me a copy?
So you think that you might wish to purchase a classic railroad car and become the modern version of Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg or James West and Artimus Gordon? You might want to have a look at the on going story of the restoration of the "Colorado Pine". It's sometimes a whole lot of work. But, I thought that people who restore old Buicks were abnormal.
If you're wondering how I pay for this restoration activity, I program computers to provide the income for this work. I'm always looking for work opportunities. So, if you have an opportunity, I have a resume.
One of my interests has been the development of compilers. To that end, I've been porting GCC compilers to support the IBM 370/390 architecture. I've placed the source and pre-compiled versions on my server and may be accessed via my GCC Web Page.
For you retrocomputing fans: I've a link to my IBM 7090 page that has links for a cross assembler and linker, written by me, and a simulator, written by Paul Pierce, that has been modified to load my assembler object files and extended to run IBSYS. I have a TI 990 page that has links for a cross assembler, linker and simulator, that I have written. And, I have a link to a FOCAL interpreter that I've written. The above cross assembers and Focal use an expression parser that is generated by an SLR(1) parser generator called Chat.
