When this was normal
Over the coarse of the past few weeks', Zachary had said to me a few times that he grabbed some old Logan boxes to see some "Old stuff" I have in the collection. I certainly do not consider 2003 to be old, however looking back, I guess it is. Back in 2003 on the New England Central, the jobs from Palmer to New London usually ran with matched blue and gold GP38's, while the road trains killed us with former UP and GATX patched leasers. Schedules were very favorable for chasing, especially on weekends and many of us took full advantage of it. So I guess I'll raise my coffee cup this morning to this one of train 608 with 4 matched 38's cruising through downtown Stafford Springs, CT on a chilly October 2003 morning. Today, we do not live in "normal" times, and there are only a few of the painted NECR Geeps left, making it a rarity.
