Living the dream.
Ed and Kevin,
Wondering if Chuck Beckman (TomikawaTT) was to be remembered on the RIP Track. I think there was a fair amount of final support for a particular avatar for him.

My daughter that lives in Seattle has entered a contract to buy a very expensive house. She will be the second of my girls to buy a house that is worth several times what my house is worth.
I don't know why, but this is when I feel like they are all grown up, and they really don't need me anymore. That is good, because I sure can't help them out with anything that expensive.
My youngest is still getting settled into life. Trying different things and looking for that something she really wants.
All this makes me feel a bit older today.
The World Is A Beautiful Place.
Thanks for your continued patronage Ed. You're a wonderful man and a wonderful host my friend
Enjoyed last month and looking forward to this new month ahead as this is fun
Time to ride the Train again for February
Thanks Ed. I'm hanging on for the ride. I'll be hanging out in the diner car again.

Happy Monday, everyone!
You can read more about the Texas Special here — and the MKT, or Katy, here.
Here's a good story from a former Katy shop machinist/electrician:
It is always interesting to hear from the folks who were there.
Cheers, Ed
The Magical Mystery Tour Continues!
February, 2021
For FEBRUARY, 2021 we will continue our tour all over North America by train with the diner in tow rather than being stuffed into a stub-end siding in some railroad yard we'll be out on the Main Line traveling the rails and seeing the sights!
Please join in and suggest or contribute ideas for locations or trains to ride in your favorite locale.
