Here's a link to an old favorite.

Those under age 18 are cautioned that this photo may not be appropriate for viewing, although there is no complete nudity involved and you can see more skin on a public beach...lol...

Oh, and BTW, since I forgot the link, I describe this photo as "stop signal"

N-Joy,

Oh, Erik.

Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak.

I'm sure there's an official company photo of you somewhere in this building...

Besides that, when were you at Rochelle? I've seriously got to get down there before it gets too cold [:(] again.

Later,
Kathi


Come on now, where's the love? [:D]

Actually, there isn't a recent official company photo of me in my current state. The old ones don't do my age justice.

Now Kathi, what about your photo? I noticed yours has gone missing. What gives? I've blessed you with the TRAINS logo next to your username. I'm sure everyone will want to see your picture again. Please hurry. [:o)]

And as always, call me if you need help! [8D]

Your buddy,
Erik

LC,

When I refer to things as bordering on poor taste, this is an example. Remember, those under 18 that you warn do visit the site and are probably going to be the first to click on it. Please refrain.

Thanks,

Awwwww, I feel so special!

OK, I'll look about and see if I can find a photo that won't scare small children. Or at least one in which I appear as a tiny dot the way you do in yours!

Take care!

LC, in reference to your stop signal, is that what they call a "position" signal? [:p]

That has to be a staged photo, lc.
None of the switchmen I know would be caught dead in a blue thong and white heels!

Wisconsin (this time). [:D]

No, I shaved my hair pretty short earlier in the summer. My old Kalmbach photos are with more hair and less gray.

I'll see what I can do.

Besides it is after Labor Day, so white heels wouldn't be in good taste!

Ed If I remember correctly you have one switchman who wears nothing at all. (No symbol would fit after this comment--need one barfing) Good reason not to railfan late at night. Good thing Mr. Link didn't do night photography in Houston.

Ed. Those certainly aren't switchMEN. That's just what the hoboes in L.A. are wearing these days. Can't you tell by their stick and hankerchief?? As for the white heels, the help them balance on the rail like that to portray the necessary signal aspect...
