[quote user="Mookie"] That would be great to see live.  And hear!  <div style="clear:both;"></div> [/quote] Because the Pumpkin Patch was literally out in the woods (albeit at Carter Station), there was no sound competition other than the wind and an occasional hunter's truck on the former roadbed of the Raquette Lake Railroad.  Thus I could often hear the oncoming F chugging along 4 or more miles away, climbing the hill to Moulin.  I could almost always hear them blow for all four crossings along the way.

[img]http://www.tree68.net/Railroad/pumpkinkids.jpg[/img] The synergy of the roadbed and the springs on the cars and locomotive created an interesting effect as the train left.  It's slightly downgrade, so the engine was idling, so I could hear what sounded like periodic hisses as the train rolled south - reminding me of a steam engine coasting along. Looking dry for today, which is good, since I'm trying to get the "stone" wrap from the gatehouse dried out.  Sounds like we might be in for it later in the week, though.
