Goddam it! Failed that geography lesson. But would any Texans riding
W2 369 know where Australia is? I've been amazed on my visits to the

miles!
Neverthless, can I still ride a W2 to Gracelands?

Dallas, not in Memfiss.
Y'all come see us, ya hear.

How close does the tourist line go to Gracelands? I would love to

Mont Albert terminus. I rode W2 369 to Spencer Street. Caught a

train
