Everyone have a great and safe day, and I want to see everyone
back in there by 7 p.m. for our SATURDAY NIGHT PIZZA FEST.

I reserve a Surpreme pizza as usual.

By the way, I was there this morning when UP unveiled UP 1996, the last of the Heritage SD70ACe locomotives. That thing looks STUNNING, to say the least, especially with the right Sun angle.

.....Oh so you have had a little weather down there Walt....Nothing up here yet all though it is around in some areas of Indiana...Just back and forth clouds and sunshine and  90 degrees here so far today.

Looks like the next 4 or 5 days should be pretty nice too...but we are pretty dry and could use some rain.  Maybe one of the scattereds will visit later this afternoon.

Yeah Quentin we did; this one came in from the north west and tracked on down towards the
south east. Guess this system really did bypass you all this time. Sort of was hoping the temps
would stay down because of the rain,but as usual not to be. Back to the normal high 80s,low 90s;
and of course the himidity to go with.

The new UP "Heritage Unit" looks like a cross between the old "Black Widow" & "Daylight" schemes.
I guess some will like it, and some won't; I'll just reserve my comment for now.

Okay, everyone.  Here's the lineup for our SATURDAY PIZZA
FEST:

1.  extra cheese
2.  supreme
3.  goetta
4.  sausage/pepperoni
5.  Hawaiian
6.  And apple pizza pie for dessert


As always, I made three extra large of each of the pizzas.

They will be going into the ovens at 6 p.m. EDT, so they
will be ready just before or right at 7 p.m.

And you can either have yours in the diner, or go out on
the patio, and watch the trains rolling by, while eating
your pizza.

Good morning!

It's kind of a dreay Saturday morning here in Omaha, but the rain is finally over.

That's how the day started here,then it got dark,started lightning & thundering and pouring down
rain about 20 minutes after finishing cutting the grass. Just another one of our usual summertime
t-storms that puts out about 1-1.5" of rain in a short amount of time,and leaves the prerequisite
number of scattered power outages, limbs down,etc.  Hopefully,that will be all we do get today;
as we had planned to do some train watching ourselves!


Brian (Ky) Will pass that info along to CW for you.

Did you do any train watching?

I was lucky enough to see 8 trains in two hours. 6 BNSF, 1 UP and a very late California Zephyr. It was funny to watch the passengers looking out the windows and get this kind of puzzled expression as they saw me and another railfan standing at this really remote crossing watching the train go by. I got a wave from 7 of 8 engineers - not too bad!

[NightrainAFD1987]

Sorry I'm late. I'll have a large Pepsi, and a couple slices of pepperoni pizza.

Hope it isn't raining outside like it is here in FL. Eh we need it though

[blhanel]

I'll take some reheated Supreme!  Paid a visit to the Oelwein RR Museum this morning- working up a trip report that I'll post in a new thread with pictures.

I'm still stunned by the amazing-looking UP 1996, the last UP Heritage SD70ACe unit. That thing will look great running on expedited intermodal trains on UP's "I-5" route between Portland and Los Angeles.

Willy2, we didn't get to go train watching this afternoon, early evening.  After the rain left our
area, it was too hot, muggy and sticky, to walk over to our place.

Evening folks (yawns), just getting back from a friend's wedding reception in Fond du Lac.  One of the better parts of the ride home was when I got to see some trains when we passed the yards.  A patched SP unit 6226(?), and UP 6202.  I'm gonna snag a water and a cookie and see you all in the morning!

[JoeKoh]

[cherokee woman]

Good Sunday morning, everyone.  Looks like it might be a semi-cool day today.  We
got more rain sometime this morning (after I went to sleep around 2 a.m.), and aparently,
several  thousand are without electricity this morning. 

Joe, thank you for putting the coffee on, and making the juice and lemonade.  Also,
thank you for the doughnut holes. 

Do I have any requests for today's Sunday Dinner?  If so, let me know by 11 a.m.
EDT, so i can get it going.

Hmm... I vote for a big batch of spaghetti and meatballs, with big slabs of garlic toast.

Off to church here, you might have to save me off a plate as we'll be pretty busy here today.

[BMRR]

Morning all, thought I would stop by the diner and have some coffee. Its been a while since I been here. Hope everyone has been doing well.

BMRR, back!  Would you like a few doughnut holes with your coffee?
Just help yourself.  And if there's anything else you'd like for breakfast, I'll fix it for you.

IA Brian, you get your wish:  spaghetti and meat balls w/large slices of garlic toast/
bread and garden salad will be Sunday Dinner.  I'll try to have it ready by 1 p.m. EDT,
and I'll make enough so that anyone who comes in this evening, will also have some.

I'll have some biscuits and gravy and a couple pieces of bacon.

Can't do OJ, so I'd like to see if I can get a Dr.Pepper to go.

Everyone have a great day. It's time for me to head to work and watch the trains go by the shop.
