We're breathing a sigh of relief here--it'll only make it to the middle 90s. The AC at work couldn't keep the indoor temperature much more then ten degrees cooler than outside, but that's enough when you're coming in.
Saw UP 1995 again this morning, headed out of town, followed by the CNW duo and pulling 124 cars of MPRCB. A lightning stripe on steroids.
Going out now to watch trains, from the confines of an air-conditioned pizzeria.
Still missing.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Just got out of the cooler, had to refill Mudchicken's tap, he drained it completely! That was a hundred gallon tank behind that tap, so if anyone sees a slightly rounder bird walk by, we know what happened.
Got up to 92 yesterday in Madison, was hot enough that the clutch fan in my truck never shut off, sounded like a semi going through town. The new city pool in town was filled to capacity pretty much all day, and I stayed in the AC as much as possible.
Be in later for a light dinner.

This pizza is good warmed up, too!
Not a bad day on the railroad. Didn't get as hot as it was supposed to, and it didn't rain when the trainman had to do his work on the ground. And we had a reasonable number of passengers (although we can always use more...)
Back into the woods tomorrow. Oh, and the ALCO is back in service (NYC 8223). Now both EMDs are on the Utica train.

We aren't far from the ocean but we still get a fairly high humidity around the 70% and it is dry. we are in the middle of a drought at the moment (we only got enough water to last until 2008). where I live (Brisbane, the capital of Queensland) is in a sub-tropical environment so we have very warm summers and mild winters. it gets down to about 4 or 5C at night and anywhere between 18 and 25 during the day. during summer it is around 20 at night and up to 44 during the day.
and as for the upside down pizza, sounds yum!

James, according to a website I just looked up, 100ºF works out to be 37.8ºC. Getting just a little toasty.
BTW, as far as the menu is concerned, I'm sure CW would be happy to serve you a pizza upside down!

Hey guys, all this talk about temperatures is making me hot!, luckily we are in winter down here! a nice warm 23C today.
Btw, I can never remember what 100F is in Centigrade I think it's about 32C isn't it? if that's so thats not hot! In summer here, it can get up to 43C in the City
Also, whats on the menu for Aussies today?
Well, it's cetainlly been a while since, I've been in here. Things are starting to shape up here ?// ?Nice, well I see we are still having our pizza fest in the "new DD & CS. Wow this is the first one since the changes. So...
CW I think I will take one large extra chesse pizza with a sprite pretty please. .
Tree, sorry I'm getting back to your question a bit late but, yes I do agree with you, the Struckaa Viaduct is a work of art, truely. It also was built in less than a year, back in 1850.
Unfortunitly, I don't think your going to catch any trains over it anytime soon because, Norfolk Southern sold it and the line, to a regional line. I don't know if they are useing it or not now, but to see a train over the Struckaa is very, very, very rare. I wish in that pic I took of the Viaduct that I had caught a train in action going over it, but.......................OH WELL.

Would a cake with such a name be safe for a certain feline member known to frequent this diner?
Meanwhile, we got in and around the triple digit area like everyone else, albeit without the humidity. Still, the dry air isn't all it's cracked up to be. One must be really careful about dehydration in the drier climates (the body deals with the heat better because it's cooling itself by evaporating sweat...of course this requires that the waters and salts that compose sweat need to be replenished as quickly as one loses them). Hence, in addition to a chocolate loving kitty, we have a chicken with an IV of gatorade hanging out at the DD&CS.
Well, I think I'll try some of the Hawaiian Pizza. Always been a fan of that.
Hope you all have a great evening!
TTFN!

stay cool
We just ate in a cool place that we drove to in our cool car (don't laugh, Sarah--I was referring to how well the AC works), after which we went to a cool yard to see a way-cool locomotive: the CNW heritage unit.
Got up to 98 locally; don't know what the official high was. Three digits expected tomorrow; I'm under orders to move away from the bicycle.
