Trackside Lounge: 3Q 2010

[CShaveRR]

Happy birthday for you and your fellow Canadians, Bruce! You may return the favor in three days.

It wasn't the mail I was anticipating, but today we got something I'd never gotten in nearly 40 years of railroad work: a wedding invitation from a fellow CRO. She's one of my favorites, and I've been a mentor and friend to her when she's needed one, so we're very honored. And, since it falls during my vacation, we can make it!

Does anyone know what it means when it says "wishing well" on the invitation? I know it has to do with the gifts, since she said they weren't on any bridal registry, but what's expected of us? Of course we wish them well, but I think some information is missing.

And thanks, Dan! With this new venue we also celebrate the beginning of Sarcastics Awareness Month.

Camera or no, I think eight trains in that area would have been worth checking out!

Right now I'm waiting for some mail (expected in the next two weeks), and I have to make a phone call (in two or three weeks), and set up an appointment (also in about three weeks). Then I close the anglecock and apply firm, steady upward pressure to the lever...

Dan, thanks for paying attention and opening up the new edition.

I'll take a moment to wish my fellow Canadian readers a happy Canada Day. We're a 143 years old.

Off we go!

Carl,
I hope you hear what you need to (and maybe want to as well?) with your correspondance.

CN was absolutely crazy the last couple of days.  Tuesday I had to run to Neenah in the early evening (around 5 PM) and I saw/heard 8, count 'em 8 trains either just south of, north of or in Neenah.  The only problem?  Yeah, I forgot my camera at home...DOH!
