Happy Veterans Day 2023

Thank you, Veterans! My Dad served in the Army in the 1950s & my Father-in-Law served in the Marines in the 1960s.

What Happened to October 2023?

Man, October was busy at the railroad. I didn't post anything here because there wasn't any free time. Hopefully I'll have something for November 2023.

Neglecting, Post #3

Well, July & August 2023 were interesting times. I was so busy at the railroad that I had to skip posts here. In my almost 40-year career, I've never seen this much grain moving by rail on the Eastern Shore as I have in the past few months.

So, I'll make up for the past 2 months by sending out 3 posts (making up for July & August & then the next post for September). I'm going to post a few articles that I find interesting.
