Maybe here at the diner we oughta instill a "Breakfast served all day long 24 Hours"  thing here. Cause it's close to three in the afternoon and I want waffles, bacon and taters.

But for now I will jsut have some french fries and some soup

Nothing too facinating going on here, so...I'll just hang out here and make myself comfortable

We don't need a 24-hour breakfast sign.  Heck, there's nothing to say that waffles can't be eaten for lunch or even for dinner.  Same with omelets or any other "breakfast" food. 

We've got a great cook who will make anything you want, whenever you want it.  Captain [4:-)]

Duff, DF is correct.  I will cook breakfast any time of the day, or night, whenever someone requests something from the breakfast menu. 

And here's your fries and a bowl of soup.

Larry, the bbq chicken, and all your side dishes are really good today.  My compliments to the griller!!Bow [bow]Thumbs Up [tup]

The Diner was a great spot to stop after a day's hard work on the Sacto trestle.

By the way, this looks like a very good spot to pick up items that would be useful around here.

Thank you from the crew:

I helped get the first batch (about 500 halves) on the fire (including getting the fire going), but I'm the man in charge of the cash register, so had to head inside to sell. 

There's plenty of chicken left in the cooler - crowds have been down at almost everyone's events in the recent past, and we had more than we'd like left over.  We'll be cutting back some from now on.  I'd rather run out than have a lot left over.

Glad you all enjoyed!

That chicken sure smells good!  The girlfriend and I are back from La Crosse, WI where we took a 'mini-vacation'.  It was sure nice!  Glad to see things are still standing here.  I got to see my first BNSF and Canadian Pacific trains today.  That was neat.  There was also a Burlington Route steam engine on static display in La Crosse, but there was no r/n and it was pretty fenced in so no decent shots.  How about a Sunday Night Crackerbarrel?

Good Evening!

I managed to see the CNW heritage unit today, but it departed 1.5 hours late which kind of caused some stress in the family. My mom had some important errands to run, but my dad and I took the car to see the Heritage unit and didn't get back until about 2 hours later than we said we would. Needless to say, it's been a rather cold evening here at home, but I think things are improving. However, I do believe that I will be taking a little siesta from train watching until Easter Vacation. Wink [;)]

Anyway, I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Good Monday morning, everyone!  Well, we're supposed to have a semi-good day around here, weather-wise.  At least until this afternoon, and then we have rain coming in. 

The coffee is ready, fresh juice is made, and there's hot chocolate and hot tea available.

On the warmer bar, you will find:  turkey bacon, sausage patties & links, scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, oatmeal, grits,  hash brown potatoes, cantaloupe chunks and strawberries.  

I hope everyone has a good day, and everyone be careful out there today!

Joe - didn't need boots - rain missed us totally.  Life is rough - sleep fast!

Emma - we just saw a FerroMex yesterday traveling through Lincoln.  It was pulling some freight with two BNSF units, so they are out there.  This makes the 3rd one we have seen in our city. 

Tree - I am going to go find some hidden BBQ and sit really close to it until someone opens the microwave....

Orang juice please!  And some hash browns.

I dreamt about switching in a yard last night.  I've never done it, which makes the fact that I dreamed about that much more wierd.  I was on an old school EMD switcher in C&NW colors switching around wooden boxcars.

Mook, we must be suffering from the same thing; cause that's all I've wanted to do for since Friday.  At times, seems like I can't keep my eyes open.

Mookie, don't worry.  Larry brought in enough bbq chicken yesterday, so we have plenty of the lunch menu today.  I've heated the chicken in the oven, and heated the veggies that must be heated, and everything is on the warmer bar.  Thank the stars, he even had enough baked beans and cole slaw.  

Now, to think of something for supper tonight.  Any suggestions?

Spaghetti w/meatballs and sauce and garlic bread w/cheese and garlic Texas toast are on the warmer bar for tonight's supper.  Dan, thanks for the idea!  Also have some fresh garden tossed salad to go along with it.

Desserts tonight:  chocolate fudge pudding, butterscotch pudding and vanilla pudding, along with chocolate cake and ice cream.

CW that's good s'ketti.  Thanks!  It hit the spot!  Ed isn't that the way it always goes?  You see something really odd, try to get a pic and...poof!  It's gone!  BTW didn't you write a piece on here a while back about an engineer on his last day?  I've tried to find it but can't.  Or did someone else write that?
