Ms Mookie,
We get to see those orange units here from time to time. They usually have a following of one hundred or so coal cars. When they are done with their mission we return them to the sender.

When they are done with their mission we return them to the sender. Somehow, that reminds me of a song popular several years back--"Return to Sender," which tells the sad tale of the letter a man sent to the woman he loved.

I recall that, Johnny. Address unknown. Return to sender. Makes me feel old. Too many years ago. We both should have cleared that from our memory banks long ago.

Yikes!
I was minding my own business while playing Solitare on the computer last night when a song popped into my head. There was nothing to do about it but go to Youtube and find the song. Before I knew it I had played "Detroit City" by Babby Bare, "Abilene" by George Hamilton IV, and "Saginaw Michigan" by Lefty Frizzell.
Oddly enough, all from the same time period you fellows were mentioning, just on a different station.
Oddly enough v2.0, the first and second songs aren't even OT for a TRAINS forum.

So shovel the coal, let this rattler roll.

"O. S. Irricana"

Summer vacation and the "ugh-oranges" are out sightseeing. I wish they would either get a good sunburn and turn red or deep, deep tan and turn black....
And to add to the songs: "Green Door" "Raunchy" "Teen Beat" - ring any bells? So many from that time, forum would run out of paper listing them all.

A lady comes in during our lunch time a few times a week, and plays (on our piano) the songs that were popular when we were young. Some I recall immediately, and I even know some of the words. Others take me a few bars to recognize.
On Friday afternoons, we have what is called "Happy Hour." If you want a glass of wine, that is available, and fruit juice is offered to the teetotalers. About once a month, two ladies come, play acoustic guitars, and one sings a variety of older songs. Also, about once a month, a couple, who call themselves "Stampede" entertain us with an acoustic guitar and a bass fiddle (yes the husband plays the bass), and they sing a mixture, including some western songs. We also have one or two who bring their electric guitars and try to sing (in my estimation, their singing is not worth a plugged penny in either voice or song). From time to time, a man comes to play broadway music on the piano, and comments on the music and the composers.
Morning
Helped sis yesterday.Matt explained his workcamp trip coming in July to Grandpa.Stopped in Deshler on the way home.Csx was playing who goes first.Go to try to keep my cool today.Fly for Minnesota first thing in the morning.
This morning I saw something I've never seen before. We (my conductor and myself) saw a white deer. Others have reported seeing it this year around the top of Blair hill. It was a first for both of us.
Jeff
The former Romulus army depot is rife with white deer. Some say it's because nukes were stored there. Others say it's from inbreeding in an enclosed area.
Managed to make it to adulthood.
Good evening
Here in Minnesota.Trip is tight.Did see some train yards from above on the plane.Getting back home tomorrow.

Mookie,
If MC is still working I think I'm older than he is. I turned 39 [ala Jack Benny] last week.
I know I am older than MC. He was just a young, eager engineer when we met and I was the one he 'ocassionly' listened to.

How can MC be in touch from the eleventh floor? gotta be "down to earth" as one of my geology professor friends says.
Just raggin' on ya MC.
Just as long as I'm not stationary and six feet deep in that earth.
Go back to flying three feet off the ground, racking up all those frequent driver miles, tomorrow. New mess to unravel and clean up.

My Granddaughter will be 5 tomorrow - where does the time go?
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I have a grandson turning nine tomorrow. We'll have to give him a call, now that he lives too far away to just take out for lunch.
A belated happy birthday to MC...yes, you're allowed to remain younger than I. And as for Matt...all I can do is shake my head and say "I remember him when..." Balt, you're absolutely right!
