Had a chance to go to the US Open yesterday, which was excellent as I could watch trains and the rest of my family (avid golf enthusiats) could watch golf. I also enjoyed watching the Coast Guard intercept boats that entered their security perimeter with several small boats or a midsize clipper, and aircraft coming and going from JBLM and KSEA.
Didn't manage to find and 8-32BWHs, but the Starlight had P42DCs 191 and 192 running elephant style. Other things of note include an SD70MAC on a manifest train, a bathtub coal gondola in a manifest train trying to find a unit train, and an older BN coal hopper loaded full with old ties. Trains passed every half-hour or so, and I managed to catch three out of the five Cascades F59PHIs. BNSF's executive train was also there.
Summer is here.So here we go.
Picked up my brother in Edgerton.Saw Amtrak come through westbound with an NYC pulman car on the back.
Water was down low enough for us to get to sisters house in Lima.The Toledo sub was busy.They had the local D 743 parked in South Ottawa.Had a great time with family.Tomorrow is another birthday party.Time for bed.
