It is nice to return to the Depot Diner.
Nice to be back.
New name been around for many years.
I dont think I have ever posted here.
But I will send the diner a coupler of boxes of Tim Horton donuts and a couple of
big tins of coffee for the am.
Have great night.
Welcome. I'm bringing back bacon and some Bradors...

Just stopped on to see what condition our condition is in........Hey! Jim, What is this leftover stuff......tastes like mud-chicken! Well - back to work! We have a schedule to keep!
And the beat goes on...
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain….
I think I need a cup or two of coffee after all of that...but like the way you have redecorated the place.
Seems the kitty Mascot is missing, along with the dusty pheasent.

Wow - I am overwhelmed. Haven't found much of anything yet - but it is early.
This will take a little getting used to - but so far, so good. Think I will hide out under the table until the diner clears out a little.
Wait for Sir Chicken.
Sharpen the cutlery.
Redesign fur.
Check out new litter.
Tune up for Happy Birthday to Jim! (Yow)
Just a new day in Happy Land!
Moo......

Jim! Hope you have a great one!
So after digging around in the closet for awhile last night, I discovered we're only allowed so much room in our signature line. Alas! it seems as though I won't be able to keep a picture in my signature line anymore. Soooo...
Would there be anyone opposed to me posting a picture now and again in the diner to keep the place fresh looking? I only ask as a good majority of my work is non- rail related (though I will try to post train themed images when available).
Well, must be off. Hope MC makes it in here soon. It's supposed to be nearing the century mark for the next 3 or 4 days. That's almost warm enough to cook a chicken!
Oh yes, a big to all our new patrons!

Morning all........
Wow, quite the redesign in here. I like it though, will take some time to get used to the new features, but I am on a few other forums that are of the same design. Bergie's crew did a wonderful job on the place!
Not a lot new here, Maw Nature is cranking up the heat and humidity for the weekend, it's already pretty uncomfortable outside. Just hope it cools down in time for the fairs (Dane county is next weekend, Racine county is the weekend after.). I volunteered (read: I opened my big mouth) for the job of ice man for the Racine County Fair, selling ice to the vendors. Should be fun, it should be the coolest job at the fair (literally!).
Welcome to all the new members, and happy birthday Jim!!

You mean last nights phone call didn't count ?
I can handle the "P" pizza if there are other things with it, like hamburger and tons of mushrooms. (I love mushrooms . ) You can add some sausage, diced onions, and some green or red peppers if you want. Heck, you can just make a mushroom pizza for me.
Have you guys ever tried any of the breakfast pizzas? I tried, are you ready for this . . . the sausage gravy breakfast pizza. It is ok.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Walt, I am 28. Since dad is 29 you know I can not be older than him. Of course he has been 29 for as long as I can remember. But you know what they say, you are as young as you feel. Therefore, I am 97.
I sure am looking forward to Friday's fish fry. I just wish my Friday and the real Friday were one and the same. Maybe in a few weeks they will be. But that is a story in the making so I can not say anything about it.
Everyone Take Care

// staggers into the diner......Um, I feel somehow changed since the last time I wandered through....feels kinda breezy.....Um, oh wow, oops - BERGIE, I NEED MY DIRTY ORANGE FEATHERS BACK, PLEASE! -
55 gallon drum of Gatorade "to go" please!
Who let the cat around the sharp implements? Claws aren't enough?
Mooks: Heading east (finally) to just across the river from Nebrasky in the next 10 days (Grain elevator finally paid off the lien so the new owner can get busy)
CopCar/Chris: Got the chance today at MSCD Auraria to see what happens when a laborer turns the wrong valve on a concrete truck (trying to fill his bucket with water) and shoots 50 gallons of water to the mix!
well matt and I will take some pizza for sure.mother nature is warming things up.it is my friday today.we made some fresh lemonade for everyone. stay cool
Happy birthday to the boss-man! Hope you got air-conditioning on your cab-rides for tonight.
Glad to see the "big guns" back in here today. Maybe I'll be back a little more often.

I agree Mudchicken - I'm a bit dazed too...and don't forget, being "downunder" I'm also upside down! ha ha......just enjoyed a good hot strong coffee with a crispy bacon and egg muffin for breakfast! For real too, not just here in the Diner....it's going to be a little while before I am fully confident with the Forum in this new format....hope I'm not alone about that...

Yeah, and it is WAAAY too hard to delete a post on this new site if you goof or just want to test your posts. I just put the Erie logo on and was testing it, wow, I thought it was gonna take an act of Congress to delete the test post...
I need a beer...better be a Molson Export today...
So....this is what the new format looks like. Hummm... interesting. Actually, it's pretty cool once you get the hang of it. I do miss some of the things the old format had. However, the new format is much better in terms of hosting URLs and various pictures, in certain types of format. No longer do you have to have a web site "host" a picture for you if you would like to post in on these forums. The new format hosts the pics for you. Unfortunitly, it doesn't allow you to "download" pics directly off of your hard drive, unless you have Avatar activated, which doesn't effect posting pics in messages. I believe if you want to post a pic you it has to be backed up, by a valid protocal, if that makes any sence. You can also hiperlink now, w/o useing what I like to call the old "bracketing" method, that all of us used to have to do.
Since, I'm still on the verge of experamenting with the new format.....here is a pic that I took of the Struckaa Viaduct in Upper Susquehanna County, PA.

He he he...we've done that a time or three. Best occurence didn't involve a laborer, though. A city inspector was on one of our R&R jobs, and he got some concrete on his boots while testing the slump. While trying to wash off his boots, he hit the wrong valve at first, and forgot to turn it off. The concrete passed tests until we discovered that he had added around 30-40 gallons into the mix! Ooooops!

Sarah - Isn't that just the most amazing structure?!? And to think it was built around 1850....
When I went to take a look at it, I came in from the north (off NYS17). Rounded a corner and THERE IT WAS! Wow! One of these days I have to catch it with a train on it. Did you go up to Susquehanna and check out that station?
Think I finally have my account straightened out. I'll take that other 55 gallon drum of Gatorade. Believe I'll head south and work on the railroad again this weekend. Highs are supposed to hit 90, and I can't spend all my time in the air conditioned coach.
