Not bragging, but this is my time of year I guess. "Were on a mission from G-d." The Mprcb had 2002 leading with 3300 second and 2001 third. I knew that the two Olympic units would be on it, but 3300 was a real supprise to me. Back with pics soon!

Are you sure? In the picture the last unit looks suspiciously EMD/OAKWAY....

You do realize that lots of other people have seen these consists but aren't bragging about it, right?

Well how often do I see something interesting? I have been getting lucky lately, but I am usually the last to see anything.

     I guess you could also add that a lot of us will never get to see them.  It's good to see someone excited about something they saw on the rails.  Things like that tend to make a guy's day.
