I'm still picking up my jaw from the floor after reading the news that UP 4014 is coming to Altoona. History in the making! I've already scheduled 2 vacation days to follow it back from St. Paul! This is going to be amazing!
Your friendly neighborhood CNW fan.
At the risk of sounding like a heretic, UP could have done better if they sent 4014 and 6936 on a joint tour.
Definitely would’ve been awesome. I’m still curious how they scouted the line to ensure it can run on it. I’ve been told t the Hudson swing bridge can’t hold the weight.
good evening
Had a good day out with Matt.Lima was busy with trains.Was hoping to catch RJ Corman in Celina.We backtracked to see him after we went over him on US 33/rt29 in St.Marys.Matt got a free piece of pie for dessert at lunch.Hopefully it doesn't rain too hard in Deshler tomorrow.We have a back up spot just in case.
stay safe

Reminds me that two of our young local "hams" passed their driver's tests yesterday. It was coincidental, but there are two new driver's on the road around here...

Much of the rain has been staying more or less south of the Thruway.
If I weren't going to be playing radio for the ARRL Field Day this weekend, I might have considered a trip down to the Glen. I know some of the safety crew that usually works there, too.
