Late for dinner

Looking back in some old files, I came across this chase of Winchester & Western's "Sand Man" job from Winchester, VA back to Unimin's sand loadout at Gore, W. Va. Nick Palazini and I were in the middle of a 4 day trip and after chasing the Gettysburg red geep in the morning, we matched up with friends Jim Kleeman and Bill Kalkman for the remainder of the day. The Sand man spent considerable time switching in Winchester before heading west. Jim and Bill had a long day and invited us for dinner, however we politely declined as the clouds were breaking to the west. Our decision turned out to be a winner as we did quite well chasing GP-9R's 572 and 575 bracketing the former Conrail MT-4 slug 210 with 18 empties, shown passing the big curve at Indian Hollow in Gainesboro, VA on April 17, 2015. The only disappointment to the day was when we finally sat down for dinner in Romney, W. Va is that we found out they did not serve beer....apparently Romney is a dry town!
