Good morning. 32 degrees with snow flurries. Might get into the mid 50's. We are supposede to warm up into the 60's over the next few days. I think it's time to get the winter tires on the car.
Garry - Nice photo. Sleek looking locomotive.
Terry - Enjoyed that video. At first I was wondering why the plane didn't have retractable landing gear. When it was coming ion for a landing, the addition of the landing lights was a big suprise. I always liked the Connies. We have one on display at the Helena airport.
Willie - When I saw the first section of teh F&SM back in the 90's, it blew my mind. I would love to see it again, but it is more than a day trip for me.
Sherel - I think you need a big hug. ( and maybe a beer or two).
Ran the F-9 at the club last night and am happy with the results. That thing is a horse. I was able to pull more than the 10 cars that the RS-1 is capable of. I added a couple more cars after these photos were taken and it still had no problems on the two and a half percent grade.
The sound wasn't any where as load as the RS-1, but I personally think the RS-1 was too loud. I am quite happy with the results.
Here's a rail picture for today.
I can remember stopping at tat station in Milwaukee when I was a kid.
Later.
