Will I never learn...
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, October 4, 2005 3:48 PM
... to carry a camera in my truck with me at all times.

Was waiting at a grade crossing just outside of Ogden UT for what turned out to be a UP light engine move. Two GE techni-toasters, no big deal, but the last unit was the new EMD SD70ACes Missouri Pacific Heritage unit! UP1982

DO'H!

It was heading southbound towards Salt Lake City about 10:00 PDT.

Yeah but lugging a camera around for years and never having a surprise Kodak moment gets old too. I suppose now with all the new tiny cameras.....

That's a very subtle way of putting it.[:p] I wish I had a reason to carry my camera with me, but not much goes on at school.[:o)]
