Happy Birthday Mr. Brian! I hope you have many happy and healthy returns. Similar to an expression for fishing...the worst day railfanning is usually better than the best day at work!
Look for a new Trackside Lounge on 6/1, Summer Edition!

CShaveRRGee...if we started the new one today, we could call it the "Brian's Birthday edition"! Happy birthday, Brian--hang in there!
Thanks Carl- it was a good day, even though I didn't see a single train.

bubbajustin An F10. I assume that was a custom re-build?
Probably a product of Paducah, after the IC merger with GM&O.

Happy birthday Brian! I started one a while back. It's gone now.
Larry,
An F10. I assume that was a custom re-build? Looks nice! I bet it is harder to switch for the engineer when he has 2 or 3 B's behind him!

Sounds like a plan- just change the word "Spring" in the title to "Summer".
Looks like fun Larry. If I ever get a chance to make it out East I'll look your operation up.
What do you folks think about starting a new Trackside Lounge up on 6/1/09? We're just over the 20ish page limit requested by the powers that were (Bergie) now. If we keep pace with this quantity of posts we'd end up with ~ 4 Trackside Lounges per year (every 3 months). How's that sound?
Here was my Memorial Day:
Did I mention that switching with F units is a pain in the you-know-where?
That one started out on GM&O as an F3, was rebuilt as n F10 by ICG, and ended up on MBTA before we got it.

I don't want to get marred for 3 resons... 1.) The railroad gave me a job, I feeel I need to devote my entire life to the railroad. 2.) I don't wan't someone telling me I can't drink out of the milk jug. 3.) I want to live in a caboose. I don't think there will be enough room for 2 people and a dog.
Sorry for starting another trackside lounge. I shouldn't have done that. 2 and 1/2 day's of school left!
A small contrabution here.

CShaveRROh yeah! I felt like I should be in some retirement community! Never heard a cough like that coming from me before. And James (who isn't that much younger than I), I figure it would take me at least twenty years to grow into a cough like that. Time for a nap--Enforcer's orders!

CShaveRRStill, two trains in the same location doesn't sound too bad. My cough makes me sound an awful lot older than I really am.
Sounds like you better go get checked for the H1N1 virus, Carl, although I don't think a sore throat is one of its symptoms.
Saw nothing on the Fox River Sub. Not even a peep on the scanner until I got back to Neenah. Train 352 was getting set to leave Neenah and 341 was waiting to go in. A slow afternoon!
I do have an alterior motive, ok well two of them. I have to head that general direction to drop off a payment and also to look at a riding lawn mower (found one for $75) that I'm going to peek at. Gosh darn, there happens to be tracks along the way. Look...I'm sad! LOL! I just hope something is running this afternoon.
Only 7 weeks until our baby is born. The house is finally looking like it'll get done on time. We should be finishing up the baby's room Saturday/Sunday. Final mudding of the drywall, prime/paint, install trim, and then laminate flooring. Should keep me busy!
I might try to see what CN has going on the Fox River sub today. Pics later this afternoon.
Saturday I was going to sit trackside to try and catch the DRGW Ski Train that was on the CN after I got done at my local Model Railroad Club. That ended up being around 1:00 AM when I got done. About 5-10 min later I heard a GEVO blowing for a crossing NB. I was tired so I said forget it...sure enough it ended up being that train. Guess I blew it!
True enough Carl. It's amazing how much some of my thoughts have changed already because I'm thinking "family" instead of "us".
Thanks for the well wishes folks. Baby seems to really respond to my voice...which is kind of cool! Last night I jokingly told him to 'get momma' and sure enough about a minute later she felt him kicking and moving. Pretty neat to think about.
