Carl, I may have seen your bare table "repo" movement out in western Iowa.  We met 4 different reposition moves, each with about 7000 feet of train, heading for points east.  First time I've seen that many repo moves in one direction within so short of time, about 5 hours.

Just a photo of a puddle.

It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Zug - remember my examples in the "themes" thread(s)? 

Looks like a winner in the "caboose" category to me.

I'll echo that "winner" sentiment!

This is the week that we're actually going to be losing some floor space in our house.  Most of the stuff from Pat's sewing room is now out in the garage (relax...her sewing machine and ironing board are set up and functional in the guest bedroom for now).  Friday that part of the house is torn down.  A week from tomorrow they're scheduled to begin concrete work on the new patio and foundation.  Before any of that happens, we have some plants and some flagstones that have to be temporarily relocated as well. 

Meanwhile, we're trying to get some intermediate owners documented on those 30-to-35-year-old box cars of the National Railway Utilization Corporation, before they all disappear.
