Bergie,

Us county employees do occasionally get some time off, not much though. And woudn't you know it that our pictures look almost the same. Luckily I moved over to the "right side of the tracks" . There was a big concern of being shut out by the freight. on the "wrong side of the tracks". Good to see you there.

What's the Challenger? JUST KIDDING!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. [:o)]

Actually, my chum Mike Yuhas who does "Trackside with Erik and Mike" with me read this week's edition was in Lincoln a couple of weeks ago and dropped in on Maddam Mook. Look for that in next Monday's edition of Trackside. [:-^]

Bergie


Oh and there you go..trying to perpetuate the Loch Mookie Myth again......[}:)]


To both Dan & Bergie,

....A great rendition of working steam engine 261....and I'd bet you got showered with cinders a very short time after you shot this scene as I see you are downwind.

You need to swing up North and come see a few of us Canadians. [:D]


Actually, I would love to. I was bummed last summer when the NMRA convention in Toronto got cancelled. I love that city. And a friend of mine here at KPC loves B.C. and is always talking it up.

Maybe it's time to burn some of those frequent flier miles!

Bergie sees more users face-to-face
Posted by Bergie on Wednesday, June 23, 2004 1:36 PM
Tuesday afternoon when I was out shooting Milwaukee Road 4-8-4 No. 261 (click here to see a photo), I bumped into two more Trains.com users: Dave Nelson (a.k.a. dknelson) and Keith Schmidt (a.k.a. kschmidt). I was working... I don't know why those two weren't doing the same. [:D]

This was after bumping into icemanmike on Sunday night. Boy, that 261 sures pulls users out of the woodwork! [:)]

Wish I could make it to Galesburg Railroad Days this weekend... I'm sure I'd see more of you there! Maybe next year.
