2 days, and no wrong things? Almost falling off page one, so a bump with a minor problem I did not see until after I posted the photo

Show me something MOW

"Show me more favorite fallen flag power"

How about some "Big Blue" Conrail power.

Please show me your most colorful caboose...

Bob asked ''Please show your favorite caboose.''

This CP Caboose is by far my favorite caboose even if my favorite RR is CNR.

Please show me another favorite caboose.

Excellent choice Guy.

Does anyone have a third? If not how about a man on a horse!

It has been more than a day, so I will have to show a man on an iron horse; hard to see but he is there through the window. The fireman shoveling coal.

Show me a locomotive engineer, fireman or conductor

In Hopewell Junction there is a charming 2.5 star diner.  Cousin Rose is the proprietor.  The place is best known for it's home made, scratch, Angel Food Cake....  The locals highly advise to stick with the hamburger special...  The cake takes a lot of chewing.  This is a family joke as our Cousin Rose actually did make Angel Food Cake for everyones Birthday parties.  It was nearly inedible and frankly just gross!  Luckily she never did own a diner, but my father used to take milk to Don Howard's Farm Equipment every few days from our farm.  She (Don's wife Rose) always fixed him breakfast when he dropped off the milk at the house.  Don was usually there having breakfast as well sitting, reading the morning paper wearing a bathrobe that didn't cover much....  Hard to read, but there is a sign on the Model T 1 ton truck outside that says "Ja-Na-Ra Farm Guernseys".  That was the name of the farm and the sign was made from an old Logo my dad had made (I made the decal of it for the truck). 

Show me another business to avoid.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry. Or you will be responsible to start the September Show Me Something thread.
