I saw a guy driving a backhoe down the street - and the xings where I sit are ROUGH.

Never saw a backhoe go that high off the ground!

Looked like a big rocking chair!

Can you just picture that - a mad cat on a forklift drivin' down the road to see the NS herself! [}:)]
I have heard of a fork in the road but this is ridiculous, and you think the crossings are bad in Millie, try it with a forklift. OUCH!!

Would you take my place here at work so I can go watch trains during the day?

Let's negotiate!

Ah my non-believer friend! I never dream of trains - since I never worked on them! And I do nap between trains, but always wake up when an engine just thinks about moving!

But you are very right - I am fresh as the driven snow! Come to Lincoln and find out!

I spend usually at least 2 hours there on Sat and had a bonus this weekend and spent about another 2 hours on Sunday. (Mother's Day, you know!) This is everything that went by during the times I was there. I just sit very still and they all come to me! Better than fishing and hunting and a heck of a lot cheaper. Plus you don't have to be really quiet.....

Mookie does your pen have any ink left? [:D][:D] I care because I think it would be neat to see a loco go by my townhouse and then have you see it a couple days later. But then again I am easily ammused.
