MlaM,

While #s do nothing for me, I do enjoy reading the "Mookie Blotter from Lincoln".

BTW

This is the first thing in a long time that started with .."I'll be brief".......which didn't turn out to be bad news or get me sent to a bad place.....


The day is still young, Dan!


No I've already been to battle with Sears about warranty work on a heat pump and a contractor about doing some work on our house in VA. I'm primed and ready today.

Erik - 3 cheers for your wife -

1 - she may becoming a fan and
2 - it keeps all her co-workers off guard.

I especially like the 2nd one! Do it all the time!

My wife completely disrupted a staff meeting today by spotting two CN locomotives pulling a Norfolk Southern freight from Birmingham (Alabama) to Macon (Georgia). I should have caught camera shots but was too busy sleeping before work (as compared to sleeping at work, which is not a good thing.)
CN+NS= CNS.... It doesn't sing!

Mookie,

It would be good practice for me if you posted/emailed just the road name and engine number - that way I could improve my speed at looking it up in my Locomotive Spotters Guide for Foamers. Alas, [sigh] my copy is currently only frayed on the CN section as that is the only road I see regularly (Well, I see the local WHRC but they only have 8 operational engines - all MLW RS23's so I pretty much know what's comin' round the bend with those guys) Saw 2 CN SD75IW's hauling 62 gypsum cars yesterday though, cooool!!

I do envy the variety of locos and roads that you get to see out in Nebrasky, it sounds like it's never dull.

Does anyone want to know any of the engines going thru Lincoln by number - for CSX, UP, NS whatever? I usually update my sightings, but if someone is interested in knowing the #'s - I will record them on my scraps of paper and report.

Or maybe just save the ink?
