Last day at CN Fond du lac

[Randy Stahl]

Today is my last day at the Fond du lac roundhouse. I accepted a job with the Montreal Maine & Atlantic. I have a side job to do in Colorado ( looking for mudchicken) then I will be moving to Maine. This brings to a close 12 years in one one place.... bittersweet is a good word to describe this. I will likely be offline beginning sept 25 or so and will try to be back by OCT 10 or so. I am extending an open invitation to anyone , to visit me at the Derby shops as I am the new manager of locomotive maintenence.

Good luck and am I glad you are sticking with railroading!

[mudchicken]

Coming out here to look at the engine on Ed Burkhardt's toy shortline? Or going up to 10,000 feet to practice shoveling snow?

Watch out for el gato Mookie & Driver whilst zooming along I-80 in Lincoln on your way here.!!!

Chalk up Fond Du Lac as a good learning experience and now outdo yourself at Derby. .........and above all else, enjoy what you do! (otherwise, why bother?)

Go for it!

Randy-

I may take you up on that. When you get settled, please drop me an e-mail. I know quite a few folks up there...

Randy,

My business and vacation travels have taken me everywhere in the lower 48, except the New England states. They are on the list, and now I have another reason to go.

Good luck at the new place.

We'll see you on the forum.

Good Luck Randy! I think Maine will be a nice place to live! Can't be any worse than Colorado/Nebraska in winter.

Thanks for all your good work here in Fondy, Randy.[:D]

Glad to hear you're leaving for a hopefully better job without the threat of layoff.[}:)]
And maybe you left some of your expertise with the guys here at Shops Yard...a few of whom I know...[;)]

Keep us informed on what's happening with Mr. Burkhardt's new enterprise....[8D]

[dknelson]

Good luck.
I was lucky enough to tour the Fond du Lac shops as part of an NMRA meet tour years ago. Quite a place, an historic location -- lots of skills were called upon. I later learned my camera was on the fritz and almost none of my shots turned out alas -- and it won't happen again.

That green and yellow thing? Gonna be in Monte Vista around a weekend? Otherwise I gotta figure out a reason to go see J.D. -Checked your e-mail?

At least take a look at the ultimate critter in Blanca (SSLV D-500) on the way on US-160.
