I was a half hour late for school once to take a picture of a Norfolk Southern train. When the train finally came it was just a couple of gp38s running light. [:(!]

Then I walked into class with the camera in my hand! [D)]

Convinced the wife that the $200 trainset was for our son, who at the time was only 9 months old, when really it was for me (I wan't kidding, It will go to him when he get a lot older)

I think that I'm guitly of all of those things.

I skipped a lot of classes to go up the hill to watch trains

Made sure that our Las Vegas hotel room was high enough to see the UP tracks. Sat at the window with binoculars any moment that we were in the room. The wife thought I was checking out girls on the strip.

Yes, Robertsdale and Rockhill work crews. Plus regular contributor to the Restoration Fund.

In the off season, I volunteer at Steamtown NHS, but that's only 45 miles away.

A lot of people talk about this kind of thing. I put my money and sweat where my mouth is. [:D]

You keep you truck as clean as possible-but hope the freight cars you see are as rusted & graffited as much as possible so you can replicate them! [:D]
