This afternoon I watched a soccer mom take her son out railfanning at the Depew NY (Suburban Buffalo) station while I had dinner in the executive dining room (truck in parking lot.) She helped him out with his scanner, camera, and with the "high signs" to get CSXT engineers to ride the horn all the way through the platform.


Now that's a cool mom.

One of our young members on here - Willy - mom and dad both help him with his railfanning! But having met Willy - I would help him, too - he's a delight!

I just sat back and enjoyed the show. I watched a couple of trains too.
