    My Little Train Watching
    Got a chance to sit and watch a train roll through today and boy was I in for a treat first there were two of this type of loco's leading the way, The first one in line to the left:

    Then there were 150 coal cars behind it all full of coal looking so shiny in the sunshine. The biggest surprise was to see this kind of locomotive acting as a helper in the rear of the train:

    Barb, glad to hear that you got out and did some railfanning, even if it was those diesel contraptions. They'll never replace steam, you know. I couldn't get the first image, but see by the second it's one of them big GEE-EEE thangs, Techno Toasters I think they are called. :D ;) [​IMG] :cool:

    Hey sweetie, did you get the engineer to wave back? That was always my thrill! I'm glad you got to enjoy the outdoors and the train too! :D
