Over the weekend, I got my negatives back from the FBI. He said that I was good to go.

I told him that some people were critical of me for just handing over the negatives. His answer was........If you said no, then he would have gotten suspicious & brought me in for questioning & the inferance was that my day would not have been so pleasant. .......................But because I was so forth comming & cooperative he believed my story. It was Amtrak police that wanted to see the negative & he was complying with their request.

He did tell me on his own that if I got pick up again to have them call him.

PS We met out side the Amtrak Station Mattoon Ill (ICRR Depot that I trying to help renovate). I showed him around inside & he left. He was not gone 5 minutes when 3 teenage boys walked by on the platform carrying a BB rifle. They were "taking pot shots at the pigoens", I called 911. Its a bit scary to look out a window & see someone aim a rifle at the building your standing in. The police came & called them by name & took them home. No damage to the depot. It would have scared the **** out of them if an FBI Agent with gun drawn told them "DROP IT & GET DOWN ON THE GROUND"

It would have been hilarious If you shot it on Kodachrome, then they'd have to wait weeks for it to develop.

Next time shoot glass plate negatives :-D

I love the smell of ALCo smoke in the Morning. "Long live the 251!!!" I miss the GBW and my favorite uncle is Uncle Pete. Uncle Pete eats Space Noodles for breakfast.
