Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Another mis-calculation. Caught flat footed without a flash unit. Arriving late at Charlottesville VA. A portion of a week and 13 train changes from St.Paul to Newark,NJ. Put together with Official Guide, my list was handed over to CB&Q Psgr Ticket Agent. Took 2 1/2 coupon books stapled together, including the return via NH,Boston and 20th Century segments and 3hrs time. Q had great service. Here after sunset stepping off this train from DC was a treat. On top of the E-Units was this torpedo F3-model. The only non-rail link was Charlottesville-Richmond via Trailways bus. The worst food I ever experienced travelling was at the Trailways depot here. Hot roast beef dinner. Well, not bad if you like beef with the consistency of pressed lard with a greenish hue and a glass of mashed potatoes. Did survive this to make my connection with the Silver Meteor to Newark. As cool as the RF&P E8's were, the lay you back in the seat acceleration behind the GG1 was without peer. As bad as it is, glad the event was captured.
