    Is that pool power diesel fumes I smell ? I hope the A/C units are working. It HOT in Ala. this time of year. Although,from what I'm hearing,the weather people (who get paid to be wrong) are saying 90-100 here in the NY Metro area by Monday.:tb-shocked:

    Caught a couple GP30's heading east in the morning sunlight through Pinole. Soon the train will be working it's way through Franklin Canyon. :)

    SPSF Merger

    Count me in with two thumbs up on the SPSF merger. I'm pretty sure I know why they changed their mind. It is what it is.

    Nice set of GP30's on the point. I do like the sunset images...oops...sunrise images.

    Progress lately has been cobweb removal from the grid work! :) With the OK from my Therapist and Doctor, I can now do lifting, as long as I don't 'over-do' it right away. I have a couple pieces of plywood cut, but after attending the extruded foam clinic in KY with John Sing, I am going to be looking for some of that stuff very soon.

    Laughter good medicine!

    LOL continuing with follow-up chuckles. Hee Haw!

    In this case "Foamer" as declared by ConrailDan, appears to be a compliment. Still it hit me as just to funny!

    Hey, how about that two quotes from two separate postings. Now how did I do that?

    I think I gave you the best Conrail power I had! LOL :) I have been looking for a nice SD40-2 or C30-7 for run-through power. Can use those on the SP line too. ;)
