Update
Paper says they are taking down the warning signs for the Clinton street viaduct.They were placed in the sidewalk row and are using too many lightbulbs.The company that provided the signs has gone out of buisness.Getting ready for the first truck to hit anytime.

What - they never heard of LED's? Or have the fines placed upon those that struck the bridge declined and created a financial crisis in city government?
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Went and got Matt's schedule for school.He is all set for lunches as well.Saw the ND&W push some cars for CSX.Then they came back to FC and pulled 9 cars across the diamond.My buddy told me CSX only brought 1 car from Garrett today.Didn't know how many they took back.Tomorrow going to check on other projects.
Can the "Stupid Zone" orange diamond signs be brought out of storage?

Perhaps the city government is setting up an "overhead" trap so as to increase the income from fines?

Congratulations, Balt, I think...
And as for The Defiance/B&O Memorial Truck Trap, Joe, I would think that the state government might have a say in what's needed there...the road is a highway, is it not?I was in the surgical center yesterday for routine old-guy procedures (not cancer-related). Results should be normal. I feel back to normal this morning, so it's time to get the yard back to normal today. Mad dash to the Peoria area tomorrow to see the football team intrductions...I'm not sure what kind of league this is, but it's big stuff in that area, and we have a grandson and a granddaughter who will be playing (that is big stuff, as she's the first female in that league ever...she wants to work off some aggression out there).

(The Pekin HS team has a new mascot name, but the evidence of the old one is still around...kinda strange when you see it pop up)
On Defiance's version of the "Can Opener", PUCO's railroad regulatory functions are being threatened with being moved to ODOT/ORDC which is cringeworthy. (The rubber tired bubbas don't get it and are hardly "neutral".)
My gandbabies are on the opposite side of Metro Peoria (I think the ATSF Ancona branch was their nearest railroad), so I don't think there will be any chinks in their armor.
I can see the ODOT guys now..."We're gonna build a bridge, and who's gonna pay for it?" "CSX!"
good evening
Well we started one way and went to Deshler.My nephew got our new sign done for the trainpark.Saw an I&O go south along sugar street in Lima.Another of their engines tucked itself back into the yard.Csx was busy trying to squeeze everyone by while the MOW crews were out on the Toledo sub.I bet the locals just love how the Cario siding matches with State road north of DT&I Junction.Delivered and installed the sign at Deshler.Csx was busy putting the new crossovers together there as well.Not sure when they will install them.Tomorrow has other projects to do.

Guess on installing the crossovers - Labor Day weekend. Normally reduced traffic levels and difficult train crew availability.

Another nice day.Saw a few trains go by on CSX.Going to relax here at home.
CS: Card has arrived, big smile from gimpy boss.
Just keep the furry ones out from underfoot, OK?
and off her lap. Gato not happy about that at all.
MC,
Sounds like you have a jealous cat on your hands. We had a tabby at the hangar for mouse patrol who disliked dogs so much she didn't care what size they were. If they came too close they were going to get a nose full of her claws. Nine pound tabbys rule the roost.

Orange cat has become a bit of a bully. The young scottie has let him have his way so far. Gato has managed not to tick off the scottie, so far. (bad news for the cat if he pushes his luck beyond jousts) Hopefully all sides behave while BossHen is healing.
Hope Boss Hen heals quick.Praying for our switchman in Houston.Csx sent a couple trains by. Word is they have a 3 mile monster q 507 to take eventually down the Toledo sub.Back to work tomorrow.
Best wishes for BH.
Helped with communications for a local foot race today - they run either a half marathon or 18.12 miles (War of 1812 - get it?). There were some folks who probably shouldn't have done the half marathon, never mind the 18.12.
My job was to trail the last runner on my mountain bike. Fairly easy, but I still put 20 miles on the bike. Two runners dropped out about 5 miles short of the end and I had to call for the "sag wagon" for them - not sure if any others threw in the towel.
We were able to use a ham radio tool that allowed those at the finish to track me, so I didn't have to call in reports on a regular basis - they knew where I was.

Got to see the NS Veteran's unit lead a train today at break. The local was uptown working when I got off of work. Mother nature gave us a light shower today too.Still praying for those in Texas.Matt's school has an open house tonight.Tomorrow starts the school year.He has been asking nicely to borrow the truck to go to school.

Isn't that why they invented nail guns?

Too much laddercise?
One of our local amateur radio operators was doing some routine checks on a repeater yesterday when he discovered a significant issue - which turned out to be the antenna at the top of the 110 foot tower...
Now that he's got the necessary parts, etc, he's got to climb the tower again to put the antenna back up...
I know I'm not going to make it to the top of a 100' tower any more.
