Walter [:)]

Congrats on Bergie choosing your pic as Photo of the Day. [8D]

<Jim is jealous since none of his have made it this week. [V] [:(] [}:)] [;)] >

Is that unit still around and if so where? Inquiring minds want to know. [;)]

Now go snap some more good shots to share with us. [;)] [8D] [:)]

Thanks guys,

I just thought it was a decent picture.

Even though I had the tele on the camera, the engineer
still thought I was too close to the tracks! Believe me when I
say "I ain't that DUMB!!" He sort of laid on the horn a little hard.

Jim, don't feel bad;you will get one. Larry, since I've been on the Forum,
I don't recall seeing one of your's.(maybe I missed it?)

Again, THANKS

Humble locomutt[swg]

P.S. I almost forgot the most IMPORTANT thing!!
THANK YOU BERGIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Walt,
Dont see too many GP30s any more, but every once in a while we get a pair of Santa Fe GP30s on yard to yard transfer.
They run them in a pair, still in the yellowbonnet freight paint, and whoever maintains them takes good care of them, still look good inside and out.

Looks like your hogger was notching it out a little, really nice shot!

Ed

Turns out I was busy getting a picture from a recent fire published in Firehouse Magazine. My issue is/was still in the mail, but Walt was kind enough to scan it from his issue and email it my way.

Kinda like getting a POD, but in the fire community! I'm psyched! [8D]

Thanks ALL!

If any of you have some way of seeing a copy of "FIREHOUSE" magazine,(for JUNE 04)
look on page 84;and you will see a picture that Larry took.

Larry, did a very good job of even getting that picture.
And he deserves any and all congrats we can send his way!
