Locomutt, do the horse folk still haul the horses to LVL by rail car???  I saw the old Movietone news reels of years back when ( with great pomp & circumstance ) they got to LVL.   Whew !! guess the pain tabs are takin' holt of me from the shoulder butchery.

Well, there maybe a case or two where that still happens;

but haven't heard of it recently.

Seems most come in by "Fancy truck & trailer"; and

a few instances via "Cargo Air".

 

Did the Hammock get moved this time? I'm sure one

person will be looking for it right off the bat.

(may be looking for the bat also)

 Remembering the named trains, of all of them on the east coast have been mentioned except PRR. Does anyone recall ~~ The Jeffersonian ~~ The Sunshine Special~~The Floridian~~The Sprit of St. Louis ??? They all came through Dayton Ohio from 1939? to 1946.   Quentin , would that jog your memory, you being from Pennsy???  They probably originated in St. Louis. At the time I lived 2blks. from the main line.   ( Ahhhhhh those were the days )  wonder where I heard that before) .

Hey, nice decor!  Is that flatware from the 20th Century Limited?  Too Cool!

We've got some rain arriving momentarily, but I don't think it's packing a punch.

Stew and cornbread does hit the spot tonight.

 

 

Yeah, Larry; that is from the "20th Century Limited", but I think

in the move, the stuff from the " George Washington" got misplaced.Sad


No Real rain here just now, lot of drizzle, but higher winds;

some of the larger inflatable balloons for the Derby Parade

got "scratched"! Wink

 

Stew does sound good since it has turned a bit cooler. (hold the cornbread)

Thanks, Tom, for opening the new location.  I was intending to do the same thing a little later on this evening.  But, you beat me to the punch!  

It's been a mild afternoon, but looks like we are about to get some storms coming through in about 10, 15 minutes, give or take.

There's still plenty of sirloin roast, taters & carrots, along with beef stew and cornbread, that have been replenished on the warmer bar.  

Everyone have a good evening, and if you're in the path of these storms, take care, please!!
