Darren, is that a " bull" going after the lad in the photo?? Rail walking is a long time event for for young lads to do long long ago living near the tracks. Do you remember doing that ?

Happy MONDAY Railfans!
Got into work today and the major client I'm supporting is having major network issues so it's a bit hard to get things done when you can't connect to their network. Oh well, keep trying...

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").
......Well, it certainly has been a nice "Spring" day...Temps in mid 60's.
Had a couple of Chevy's up front at the checkered flag on the Las Vegas Nascar track this afternoon, so that was ok with me....
But....Now our Pacer's are fighting up against the Orlando Magic, and that is not easy. In fact, the Magic has done very well the first half, but in the closing 2nd qtr., we've at least made it possible to get back in the game. So we'll see what happens the second half. No question, the Magic team is a difficult one to overcome. Howard is almost unstopable. Not too good at the foul line though....

beautiful day out today.Went out and saw some trains.Cw thanks for supper.Time to get ready for work.
OK, who's idea was it to not only add an extra work day into the schedule last month and now subtracts an hour out of my weekend!!! Just back inside from Spring Cleanup work with a 3-day forecast of 70+ days coming. Hope all my Trains friends have had a great (even though shorten) weekend!
Good afternoon everyone. Hope you all remembered to set your clocks forward last night, and replace batteries in your smoke detectors. According to our indoor/outdoor thermometer, we have a current temp of 71.6 degrees outside!! Absolutely gorgeous outside, with just a very light breeze.
For our Sunday Dinner, here is our menu:
1. Grilled steaks w/baked taters, corn on the cob, salad, baked beans, grilled shrimp, hot dogs, burgers, cheeseburgers, brats, tater salad, Watergate salad, fruit salad
2. Italian spaghetti w/salad, and your choice of Italian style vegetables, along with your choice of garlic bread, garlic Texas toast, or toasted Italian bread
Hope everyone is enjoying your Sunday afternoon. Take care, keep safe & sound, and see you all later.
.....A very nice "Spring" day...Mild temps....sunshine, robins....and some grass starting to grow.
Church & Red Lobster runs finished...Next, go check Nascar...I'll probably nap thru some of it. Seeing convertibles now with the tops down. Guess I did that back when one didn't use as much common sense.
Than have another Pacer ball game this evening....Lost a heart breaker to Miami last night...It could have gone either way at the end. Close game all thru it, and we led more than they did. But as it turned out....they were able to get some shots at the very end and erase our 5 point lead with just a very short time to go.
I saw a blue caboose yesterday, in the weeds on a disused siding.

Has anyone seen the red caboose lately, or is it in the weeds in the storage track??
just curious.

Good Friday afternoon all. Finally got to make it back in here. Found out earlier that our desktop won't be ready until Monday. Dr. appointment yesterday went okay, but I won't know anything until the 28th, after my doctor gets back from his vacation.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now on the warmer bar. All the regular list of kinds of fish, all the side dishes and desserts.
Our high today made it to 55 degrees. But tonight, going down to about 29 tonight/in the morning. Another piece of good news: UK beat LSU!! Everyone have a good afternoon/evening, and I'll try to get back in sometime tomorrow.

Joe - If you ever get a chance to photograph them would love to get digital copies!
....Boy what a variety of incidents on earlier posts. We have all kinds of happenings going on in our world.
I consider it a nice day here. Sunny, a bit of a breeze, and 40 degrees. Grass is greening....Spring is fast approaching.
Hope a friend and his son get with it and rent the powered roller to do our yards soon, as they do each year. They get the roller {rented}, and his son has a trailer to move it on, and I share the cost of doing it all.
darren have seen some of those D&H's parked at some of the elevators here in nw ohio.matts bookfair went well.everything is packed up until the next school event.Time for a nap.Have a great rest of the day.
TGIF Railfans!
It's 29F and Sunny in the Mile High city with highs in the 60's for the weekend and 70 by Monday. Got some of the mud and dust off the 4x4 yesterday from travels to a friends house in the rural east side of town where the streets are still dirt roads. Have a great Day and Weekend!
Over 50F here yesterday, new snow on the ground this morning (but not much). Changed over in about two hours last night - I drove to a meeting in a downpour and drove home in snow flurries...
Spending the weekend in class so I can learn how to use a software package we've had at the FD for over a year now...
Time to check the mail.
Good Morning

Good morning and peace be with you. 61 and light rain in Carolina expected to top out at 63 with more rain.
Our Lt Governor is expected to resign soon due getting caught spending campaign funds for his personal use, some 60+ counts in all. These guys amaze me, and they think they can get away with it!
The chairman of the SC Hospitality Assoc recently shot himself, and now they find nearly 5 million dollars missing. Actually, he is not a suspect, but a former employee is on the hook. Apparently, he couldn't stand the disgrace of having it happen on his watch. Sad.
Everyone have a safe day.

Good Morning Railfans!
Big Glass of Ed's OJ Please!!!
Well, it's 23F and Sunny and the snow storms that they said was coming blew south and missed us completely. You can truly see and feel Spring coming by just watching the wildlife starting to get in the mood
Darren, really nice picture!! I really enjoy seeing the pictures you post each day. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us.
Just heard on our local news that our winds are running 35 to 40 pmh. Current temp is 70 degrees. Normal temp for this time of year is 44. The rain will come in by 4, 5 a.m. in the morning, definitely by 8 a.m. here in Louisville. Could get up to 2 inches of rain tomorrow, with our high in the morning, then slowly dropping.
Got supper laid out on the warmer bar:
1. Sub sandwiches: turkey, roast beef, ham & cheese, Italian sausage, etc., with your choice of chips or fried potato wedges and salad
2. Fried rice: beef, pork, shrimp, chicken or special, which is a combination of all of the above; or you can have sweet & sour pork, or chow mein or lo mein
Everyone take care, have a good evening, and I'll see you, probably about this time tomorrow, as I go back to the cardiovascular doctor tomorrow for another test. Hope this one will show the doctor exactly what is going on.
ahh yes spring ahead this weekend.csx sounds busy this afternoon.time to get supper around and get ready for work.
Well, it's 28F with Drizzle right now that should turn to the White Stuff at some point and continue into Thursday. On the bright side things look to get better as the weekend gets here. Dang, time change this weekend and we loss an hour. Grr!
