Carl, I forgot to say thank you for the information on the MP express car.
Thanks for the info.

Nice one, Darren! I showed it to Pat, and she said that all it needed was the music...then it repeated itself.
I can think of any number of reasons I wouldn't want to stand out in front like that for very long. My line at work was, "It must be spring--I swallowed my first bug today." (Serious bikers will know about this.)

Thanks for sharing ! You bet ! That was great ! (Much better than that overcrowded ship that sank about 100 years ago.)
Just as long as there isn't a grade crossing or livestock collision waiting around the next curve !

Thought the lounge might enjoy this short video clip I saw on FB today...

Thanks, Dan, from a onetime ballast-pounder (in inner-city Chicago, no less! Thank Goodness it was only one time!).
Went to a railroadiana show at the College of DuPage this noon; saw a few UP/C&NW retirees there who have come out of any closets they might have been hiding in (closet railfans at work, perhaps). MC, were you acquainted at all with Bill Wimmer? He was there, though I was too much in awe to talk to him (those of you who don't know, he's the guy who liked to check the quality of UP track by running the DDA40X over it). I bought one reference book (the latest edition of Railroad Names by the late William D. Edson).
Next on the agenda today: Lilacia Park--nearly at its peak, over a month ahead of the Lilac Festival--and dinner with grandchildren and their parents.
P.S. There be tracks between the park and the dinner...
Aww, nothing like a moonlit walk in the ballast at night. A man alone with his thoughts (which made it a lonely trek in my case).
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Was giving a conductor a ride, saving him a long walk. Nearest TM/Carman was an hour away so I helped out.

Now what are you doing up at this hour?
No foolin'....
