mudchicken They were going the right way to get rid of dirty dirt or glo-in-the-dark dirt. Was amused to see that the outlet mall at Ashland was flattened and scraped clean going thru Friday. How come some of us can't work in an area AFTER they scrape everything off ?

We thought about that, too - but this was a really long train of tarped gons and then the oil cans....so we may never know. They went down the St Joe line and since they fixed that track just past the old depot (going south) they really go thru there now at a pretty good pace.
Joe: I think we saw a train going south with what we think was fracking sand. Covered, small gons with tarps and then 10 tankers on the end. Loaded or empty - no clue - too far away to check the springs.
Since the whole train was covered gons - not just a handful, that was how we came to this conclusion. Any thoughts?
Tomorrow is busy day - so an early Happy Birthday to Paula (and twin) Maybe the sun will shine for your whole day! If not, be glad for rain, since it will shut off very soon!
Moo....
Hello everyone. Getting periods of light rain here in Kentucky today. Began around 6:30, 7:00 this morning; sometimes just sprinkles,sometimes drizzle, and sometimes steady rain, like right now. Not too heavy, just a nice, gentle light rain shower, just enough that you can see it coming down. Temps holding steady, between 58 and 60, 61. Not supposed to get any warmer than 60, 61 this afternoon. If anyone is betting on the Derby race, better look for that mudder, cause the track is/will be wet, pretty much all day.
My niece is coming over to take me shopping after awhile, so I can find a birthday card for my brother for tomorrow. He & his wife have gone down to her Mom's house (she's in a rehab center, recovering from her surgery), to check on things there, water plants and check on Mom's mail.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care, keep dry if you're in the rain-getting areas, and keep safe. See you all later.

CShaveRR MC, hope you've gotten a chance to try the Cafe there. We'd join you, but this is one hectic time around home and family, with showers, weddings, an anniversary, house construction (might be a small crawly dungeon annex when we're done), Lilac Time, and so on in the next couple of weeks. If you're still hard at work on the 10th, we'll smile at you as we go by (or maybe check up on you concerning lunch). Much cooler today than yesterday here...I went back to long sleeves, long pants, and shoes and socks.Date night tonight--going to a movie theater to see a live cinecast of "Wait-Wait Don't Tell Me". Re: Lilac Time...last year by this time Lombard's lilacs were long gone. This year, we have nothing but buds so far. The Lilac Festival starts this weekend, culminates on the 19th...I think the timing will be great!

Headed home, may pester cat after dancing with railroad lawyer.
...Watching and listening to all kinds of weather conditions, and reports around this country, something is "changing" to make our "extremes" deeper ea. season, so it appears.
I don't know if it is correct to call it "global warming" or climate change, or what ever...but something certainly is "different".
I thought perhaps communication was that much better now and we're hearing about ea. "happening" around our country in more detail, but now....it's gone beyond that.
Just installed my Hummer bird feeder for the season, we'll watch and see now how much "difference" their arrival time might be.....Wouldn't be surprised if that "normal" arrival time has been effected as well....

Good M'arnin'....thanks for breakfast....
Well, I went to bed at silly o'clock this morning and got woke up at another silly o'clock by our little Spring..who was running around our house after ....a sparrow..... How did the bird get into our house, you ask? Stupid window at the back staircase ...slightly opened
Oh well, weather here be just a little cooler and sunny...still.....high near 70...as opposed to 78...feeling like 84F....
Today's agenda includes a bunch of paperwork for work and a bunch of RR planning stuff for my RR....sigh.

it's friday.errands and chores to do. breakfast is all set.
Got through all the meetings just fine.
Sitting at home after last meeting (fire dept) when a department in the NW corner of the county got toned out for an "outdoor fire." A dozen fire departments later, the fire is finally out, having burned through a bunch of swampland adjacent to the St Lawrence River.
A couple of fire boats were called in to deal with areas along the river that couldn't be reached on foot. My department was called to stand by with a tanker, and to use our utility truck to tow a fire department air boat to the scene. Another truck ended up doing the towing, so we just ferried some folks up there.
I'm hoping they throw the book and the clown who started it. Despite a statewide ban on such fires, he decided to burn up a bag of trash. At least no property of value was lost...

After a long day of assorted items, all work around the house, I informed the Driver that tomorrow I am going to get up and stare at the wall all day. Breathing will be the labor for the day!
Good Evening...
Busy busy busy here...another doctor appointment handed to me for next week and the eye specialist as well called to arrange an appointment....good grief...
I'ma thinkin' my saturday morning is going to be spent doin' the yard sale t'ing as well...so maybe Sunday will be doin' nuttin' but train related stuff!!
Have a somewhat quieter evenin' than I'm having here!!
In the 30's this morning with melting snow. Guess we are back to winter and then straight to summer next week. This week we have gone from throwing the bed covers on the floor and turning the ceiling fan on medium to adding another blanket to the bed last nite!
But I won't complain. Iowa got 11 inches of the white stuff.
And thru all the rain and blizzard-type north wind - I heard a resident woodpecker trying to cut down a tree!
Ah nature!
Yesterday, I saw my first robin--and a magpie--as I set out to begin my walking. The streets here have some interesting hills, and it may take a little while to get used to them.
Most of my books are now settled in their new places, and I am working on the magazines that I have saved.
The first two days of May have not presented spring weather--below forty each morning, with snow yesterday morning. There is hope, however, that spring will arrive.

One meeting down. Two to go. Wheeee!
Good Thursday morning everyone. Beautiful sunny skies, with a temp in the low to mid 60s, depending on where you are. Should see a high later this afternoon in the low 80s.
Have to stay close to the house phone today, as we're expecting a phone call from the furniture store, to come out & repair the couch. Middle cushion had a nice little split in it, when they brought the couch into the house last month. They are to be out tomorrow to fix it, but need to listen for them to call, to set up a time for them to come out.
Have the breakfast cart/warmer set up, ready for anyone who comes in hungry. Everyone have a good day, take care, keep safe and see you all later.
errands done.another nice day here in nw ohio.tonight is friday.got my breakfast.chores later.
Checking in to get all my e-mail!
CW - I have a friend that had a townhouse - washer/dryer off bedroom on main floor. She never turned the water off. So beautifully finished basement and bedroom were very carefully washed in about 2 feet of water when she got home from work.
Joe - won't get trackside until probably first of next week. Went from 80 to mid-40's today and will stay this way until early next week. Then back to mid-summer. May see snowflakes tonite.
Sir C - I bet the pix on the derail would be spectacular. With the latest spate of falling over, I wonder why anyone would want to work for the railroad. A carnival ride and you get paid to ride it.
Good Wednesday morning everyone, and Happy May Day to you all!!
Beautiful morning here, with plenty of sunshine and a temp in the low 60s, going for a high in the low to mid 80s. We actually had to turn on the a/c yesterday afternoon. I had started off with windows open, and the a/c on fan only. That didn't last long, though. Guess sometime this afternoon, will have to turn the a/c back on.
Bro & SIL are at work and Shelby is at school. Allie's Uncle Richie came & picked her up last night (late, like around 9:45, past bedtime), and didn't leave w/her until about 10:30. They'll be bringing her back sometime this evening, and pick both of them up again tomorrow evening. Schools are closed Friday for the Oaks Races. Need to remember to get a Bday card Friday for my brother, as Sunday will be our birthday.
Trying out the new washer here at my brother's. Their's bit the dust Saturday morning, with water pouring out underneath it. It has all kinds of sensors on it, and if you forget to put something in, tough luck, because once you put down the lid, it is locked until cycles are finished.
Everyone have a good day, keep safe and take care, and will see you all later.
morning

BossHen, her new hardware and her visiting escort doing fine
Plenty of CSX power trapped in Denver on both UP and BNSF...on Sunday
We took our lunch trackside today for about 2 hours. One of our "associates" that sits there quite a bit said it had really been a slow day. He wasn't kidding. Now I know why there wasn't much!
But we did see about 5 trains - and a crew laying new short rail (spring cleaning as it were) and putting in some new ballast under rail we had been watching "bouncing" for a couple of months. Evidently the crews were getting seasick and it finally got fixed.
Send us CSX and NS and you can keep the BNSF engines there!
Ms Mook - if you're missing any BNSF engines, they're up here. Heard the DS talking to one of them today. Didn't have the opportunity to chase them, unfortunately.
