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").
Watched Ns as they took down the old "NYC" signals.They were going to work on milepost 327 but Mother Nature sent wind today.They were also fixing a broken rail in the crossing in Stryker as well.We then went down to CSX and found some trains too.Back to work tomorrow.

CSX how tomorrow moves..
They were not moving very well around Lima last night.Got word that Ns would be working on putting up the new signals between Wauseon and Archbold tomorrow.Might go look after church.Friend in Cincinnati says the city has closed many flood gates around town.More rain for us here tonight.
ChuckCobleighNow you've made me want to pull out "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence"...
Actually, you've got to find "Scott Pilgrim vs the World..."
Whodathunk department:
I was watching the Deshler railcam a couple of nights ago when a train made the transfer from northbound to eastbound. On the train were a number of cars of steel - I beams, other shapes (it was dark).
Fast forward to this morning. I was enjoying breakfast with a group of amateur radio operators, including a fellow who works for a steel fabrication company. I asked if he was expecting some steel, and sure enough he was. Further discussion brought us to the conclusion that what I saw on the railcam was very likely the same steel he'll be seeing in a couple of days at his place of business...

tree68That's OK, Pilgrim.
Thanks. Now you've made me want to pull out "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence" for a good watching, though I'll have to wait for the Olympics to get done to get screen time.
ChuckCobleighWell, the one I used turned out to be under the bed hiding among the dust bunnies. Crafty little devils, those emoticons.
That's OK, Pilgrim.
Miningman -43 here

Send some of that to your curling team maybe they'll win the bronze. USA!
zugmannYou spent TWO minutes looking for an emoticon. That's TWO minutes, ha..ha..ha... (Ok, it loses something when typed out).

Great minds and all that.

It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Yes yes of course. 150 car trains every hour both directions. 3,600 cars a day x2....7,200 cars a day. Landmark buisness! ...and all you have to do is open the doors and hatches. No unloading, nothing.
I suppose we could add some 'atmospherics' to make us all a bit happier and carefree but we don't want any trouble at the border.
MiningmanA temperature pipeline! ...Northern Saskatchewan to New Orleans, one in each direction.
Heresy! On a trains forum you're suggesting pipelines? Fill unit trains of reefers with cold air and send them down here. We'll fill them with warm air for the backhaul.

You inhaling or exhaling with that pipe? Does the DEA know about you folks?
Paul of Covington-- It was -43 here yesterday morning. Sounds like we need to send down some air conditioning and you send up some heat and we will all be happy and temperate!

In New Orleans seven of the last eight days were record highs, and tomorrow might be another one.
blue streak 1Has anyone ever heard that any city has had 5 consecutive days ?
We just had five consecutive days here, and are about to start on another five...
Oh, wait, you were talking about record temperatures....
City of Columbus, Ga has had 5 consecutive days of record high temps. Has anyone ever heard that any city has had 5 consecutive record high days ?
switch7frg Can anyone tell me how to get to Sesame St.??
Can anyone tell me how to get to Sesame St.??
You have to be an HBO subscriber to answer that now.
EDIT: Great! I spend two minutes looking for an appropriate emoticon and Zugs gets on ahead of me!
Requires a subscription to HBO, I believe. Contact your cable provider for details.

I used to have this in my signaturte page:
Mookie Paul of Covington Funny, but all my life I've had the feeling in the back of my mind that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm now 77 and I still feel that way.
Paul of Covington
Funny, but all my life I've had the feeling in the back of my mind that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm now 77 and I still feel that way.
And I'm five years older than Paul and am happy with what I have done and experienced but still feel like a kid sometimes (when I'm not feeling old).
ChuckCobleigh Paul of Covington Funny, but all my life I've had the feeling in the back of my mind that I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I'm now 77 and I still feel that way. As my wife tells me: "Give it up! Your not grown up! You're never going to grow up!" And, frankly, she's right! And Murph, I had 6/7 of that million before I was 30; I had all of the zeros.
