You asked for it....

Onstage with the band at the Roberts Orpheum Theatre, St. Louis, Feb. 2006.  I'm on the right looking confused....

Same location and date, I'm on the riser to the right, piloting my synthesizer rig.

Here I am running UP 1995, the CNW heritage engine to the thrill of hundreds of fans chasing my train, waving to them as we head eastbound on train MCBPR! Just kidding LOL, it is actually on display at Franklin Park Railroad Daze, May 19th, 2007. I hear people complain about the ACes, but by what I saw I would love to really run these engines. Loud K5LLA horns to make people jump too.Smile [:)]

So why didn't you update us with your - "self"?

A pitty so many people have to get "cute" and seem to be compelled to quote other photos.  It's not like we didn't see the photo the first time it was posted. 

Now I'll have to find a photo of my "self".

Looked for the photo of me in the cab of an old Climax loco, couldn't find it. Then looked for the photo of me with shaved head and Chicken Pox, found it, but decided it was just too grusome to post, even as a joke. Settled on a couple of me playing with my "Dam rocks". (Built a rock dam in our creek a couple years ago to give our horses a nice watering hole)

I call this second photo, "Stop, wait, let me focus, hold it, wait, not yet, hold it..." The wife made me hold this pose at the end of a very long carry for what seamed like an eternity. Perhaps she was trying to kill me?LOL

Unlike my HUGE cousin who really is a strong man, I just pretend to be and only on good days.

Hey Rob,  

Are those rocks made of pink foam or blue?  Laugh [(-D]

I've got one of those cousins too. The rocks you're carrying are about as big as I can can handle. you make it look easy. Then again why not put a yoke on the horses and let them do the heavy work? LOL

[Then again why not put a yoke on the horses and let them do the heavy work? LOL ]

***Never trained any of our horses for harness, but there are a couple neighbors around with mule teams that could do the job. Then again, I would prefer not having anything to do with their owners or their backwards (cruel) methods. Those who do not use natural horsemanship training these days are either ignorant, lazy or just plain cruel. And around here there are some folks who fall into all of those catagories. My two bits!

Heres me......  It was taken a few months ago. The weathering table behind me looks MUCH cleaner than it does now.  Its a huge wreck, and the sad thing is.  I don't wanna clean it, cause I know where everything is.

It doesn't look like Kenwood or Saratoga, maybe Ft. Edward or Whitehall, maybe it was out west (NY)? 7303 spent most of it's time between Saratoga and Whitehall.

Would you believe Buttonwood Yard just outside Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania? Several years ago.

Yeah, I believe it! Those lightning stripes did have a tendency to wander all over the system from time to time. Thanks for nailing that down.

Aw, why not. It sure is nice to see who is at the other end.

Yeah, Indian. There are plenty of us in the hobby, believe it or not. It's tough to be an Indian railfan in the US though. Back at the beginning of this thread, Antonio had mentioned that he might appear to be a terrorist. Well, his situation can't come close to the possible mix-ups with a similar skin color to those of Middle Eastern descent. On the other hand, it seems that it only throws off regular civilians seeing railfans at the side of the bridge; the police never have a problem when they check in.
