\ That's the same blizzard that's pounding the Canadian prairies, especially Manitoba (with its capital, Winterpeg...). They're expecting upwards of 16 inches of snow. Must be my fault - I put away my shovels.
Been a pretty good year so far for catching industrial switchers. Here is yet another one. Cayce SC - 4/13/22
The Kraken were supposed to play up there, but the game got "snowed out", lol! Must be my fault - I put away my shovels.
And the spreader made it back some time last night, a little icy for the experience! Sure do wish I could get video's of it working! But, generally, when these guys are out, the roads are impassable.
And I just saw them get moved off the plow and over to the head end of an eastbound train, with the 9239 leading! And now snow scooped off the walkways along the longhood.
At the end of my day, this oil can headed east with only two power units! No DPU! The second is a recently renumbered CN ACe #8811, now. Slow long pull out of the yard at the 10mph limit.
A good friend of my parents did exactly that in the 80s. He retired from his job with Monsanto in Cincinnati, then he and his wife moved back to their farm in New Hampshire. Never looked back. Sorry, my internal compass keeps turning my head south!
On our way out of town for the Livngston/Helena Railfair weekend, this NS was setting on the 'Stockyard" track,
A funny thing happened at the gas station Thursday..... Which was a nice distraction from the pain of the cost of filling the tank...........
