Walt....Thinking of that exectutive train or special of some sort....I was just thinking they probably wanted the latest in the passenger engines available back when, and thought about the "E's"....That would have been quite a few prime movers if it had been those....8 diesels.
At least it looks like a nice "set" of power whatever they are....Glad to see them preserved and runable.

I been watching on the railroad.....
We have been out all day, watching trains eating breakfast and lunch and just enjoying a super nice day. BNSF ran trains after breakfast and after we got settled in and then after lunch when we got back. In between we went south of town about 25 miles and checked out all the incoming waiters.
Running lots of Dash 9s. Head end and DPU. They had a bunch in storage and I wasn't sure if we would ever see them run again, but they are all back and busy, busy.
I am tired - too much fresh air, but will sleep good - either thru dull tv tonite or overnite if I make it to the bed.

Randy - Your Badgers were good. They just flat out played us. But the Wisconsin people were nice enough to open their homes to our fans and provide places to stay. I loved Wisconsin the one time I visited there. You would sleep under 3 blankets and then be barefoot in the grass during the day (September).
HB Dan. Gray hair, yet?

Hope you all had a very good weekend. Ours was on the quiet side. Walt and I watched a couple of things on our local PBS station yesterday. The first was a documentary on the Chesapeake Bay. Beautiful shots, especially when you could see the sun shining on the water! The second was the new Ken Burns' documentary on prohibition. Both were very informative and interesting to watch.

Joe - I wasn't able to go out today to train watch, so they are probably waiting until they know I will be there on Thursday.
I don't know if anyone else has this problem - every time I am trackside @ lunchtime and it is totally dead silent, I get my lunch all laid out, take the first bite and 3 trains will want to start moving.
They somehow know there is a sandwich loose....
