[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Noah Hofrichter</i> <br /><br />JimZ (you earned yourself a new nickname) Glad your here in the coffee shop with us, And congrats on your new child, hope he/she takes your same interest. <br /> <br />The WSOR ran an inspection train up here these past couple of days, so I'm happy. The stayed overnight in another town down the line Monday night, and then stayed here last night. They've been being "friendly" with the customers on the line, having dinner with many of them. I got some good pictures for the contest the WSOR is holding for there calender. You get 500 bucks for the cover, 250 for the inside cover, and $100 for each month. This tarain is big though, I have a feeling the President of the company is on it. I was on my best picture taking behavure for taking pictures of it. I know the engineer, or at least I have fot the past two months, so he let me climb up in the engine quick and get some pictures of the interior. I had a good day altogether. I thought they had left, but the engineer, who is all I can pick up, just said on the scanner "oops" and a few minutes later "did it over heat or what" so that's not a good sign. Might go see if I can convince my mom to take me down to find out what's going on, so I got to go. <br /> <br />Noah <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Wow, you're lucky you live on a branch line of a regional road, the KCS barely ever even has a local or a switch job thru town here unless it's the fall grain rush. I just found out my parents are probably going to stay at Galesburg for Railroad Days both Saturday and Sunday, but not Friday, so I won't get to see the Milwaukee Road steamer (DRAT!). Oh well, if I'm lucky, maybe I'll get a glimpse of the BNSF Executive F's?! <br /> <br />BTW Noah keep us updated on what hapened to that locomotive if you get to go see what's wrong.
