Hi all. I thought I'd post a few pics from today's railfan trip strictly for entertainment value. I was sitting around the house thinking about writing a train schedule for the layout (using a real schedule the Colo RR museum). It dawned on me that I could work on that beside the CSX.
Folks from work have been calling all afternoon, seems an airplane broke.
So much for the vacation time... Anyway, getting out seemed like the thing to do.
First, today's company (LGM is at the grandfolks house).
Ya'll may recognize Jessie from a post some time back. He's a veteran Lab railfanning pooch. The new mutt (little one) is Dixie. She's my little girl's new puppy. This is one of her first "big dog" trips. LGM and I call her the "swamp skunk" because he was concerned for her safety during hunting season (personally, our own hides are further up the list for me
), to which I replied "yeah, someone might mistake her for a swamp skunk and get a round off at her." She's fun to watch around the lab. For the most part, she does exactly what he does. If he barks, runs, takes a leak, etc, so does she.
Approach lit block signal. Could something be coming out of the south?
Yep, a northbound empty coal drag.
The engineer was nice enough to give me a couple of short blasts of the horn as the train approached.
So much for the only train I saw today... (I got there kinda late
)
Oh yeah, I did manage to get a little work done on the train schedule.
