afternoon
Randy liked your wal-mart peel back trailer pictures.Ns had cars uptown and a train as well.Some of the doors were shut where I work this morning.Hint of Fall.Thought I would have another errand today but the guys in the big garbage truck showed up.Going to get ready to go to town.
stay safe

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").
Just found out that UP was involved with the credit Mobilier scandal. Grant's VP Achuyler Colfax even testified before Congress to clear his name. So former VP Pence cannot say a VP has never testified before a congressional committee.
A vice president testified before Congress. It was a disaster. (msn.com)
evening
NS looked the same as yesterday.Ran errands in town.Didn't see anything on csx.Word is that I 192 is coming to Ohio with the NYC(1066) heritage unit leading.By the time it gets here it will be my bedtime and dark.Time for supper.
Rode the first official passenger trip to Tupper Lake today (see Harrison's post) - the first occupied passenger trip in over 40 years on that segment of the line.
The work that was done on the line was first class - many folks commented on how smooth the tracks are. The work was done to Class 4 standards, although we'll likely hold our speeds to 40 MPH so the passengers can actually see the scenery as we go up the line...

We have stuff uptown but Ns hasn't moved it.Came and took care of the yardwork.Have a couple new speed bumps into our place.Ups truck is really going to like that.Time for supper.
No change on Ns today.Heard Csx got a new boss.Don't think it's going to help much.Csx was trying to fit as much as it could at North Baltimore this morning.Did wish oldest brother a happy birthday.He is well into the big interstate number category.Glad tomorrow is Friday.

Not rail related but looks like the airline delays are getting under several skins. UAL CEO critical of FAA. Guess what ? Had not heard this before.

Ns was the same after work today.Went to Deshler to get things looking good at the park.Csx ran a few trains.Got to meet an engineer from the I&O.His family still comes to the park.He talked about his adventures.He had to set off a csx unit at Cario.He normally works around the steel mills in Delta.As for airlines heard on the radio your holiday fares will be going sky high.Time to get cleaned up.
Must be an airshow around here somewhere. B-17 (olive green w/ red flaps & tail) and an AT-6 have been flying around here for the past few days (sometimes in formation)

One of EAA's warbirds, also a B-17, is visiting the Cedar Rapids Airport this weekend giving rides.

Went to Deshler today.Met new friends.I 192 had a trailer on a spine car with a slight lean.M 560 had a boxcar where it looked like someone tried to do a ballet move with a forklift.Going back tomorrow for a cookout.Also heard it might be November before a local crossing gets fixed too by the park.Time to clean up.
A cookout sounds good, but I'm not into 16 hours of driving to partake...
Went back to Deshler for the cookout.Everyone had a good time.Got to see another large log car from the Wisconsin Central.They are coming from Wisconsin to Csx.M353 has been taking them east.M 566 also had a large load of poles as well today.Guessers are saying hot until Wed. then the temprature drop comes just in time for fall.Back to work tomorrow.
Felt like a Monday today.No change from what I saw on ns after work. Catching up on chores and errands today.Tomorrow night is a meeting for the Histoical society in Deshler. I also need to take back some spoons from Sunday.
Ns had shuffled some cars today.Went to our meeting.M 560's crew ran out of time as it rounded the corner in Deshler.A conductor friend was parked in a couple places but I couldn't get to the train to say Hi.Got projects for the museum and park.Time to get to bed.
