Poem about Mac the Cat (inspired by me, written by ChatGPT)
Mac the cat, so ginger and old,
Sits atop the fence, quiet and bold.
In Munich town, his home and place,
He watches the world with gentle grace.
Though he cannot meow anymore,
His spirit shines, like never before.
For Mac is calm and friendly too,
And always happy to see me and you.
With each pat and stroke of his fur,
We feel his warmth, so soft and pure.
And though he cannot speak a word,
His eyes and purrs make us assured.
Assured that in this world so fast,
There's still some peace that's meant to last.
And Mac the cat, with his friendly ways,
Shows us the joy in simpler days.
So here's to Mac, the old ginger cat,
May his days be long and full of that
Warmth and love he brings each day,
To brighten up our human way.
A flared MAC leader crossing Mechams River and US Highway 250 a few miles east of Crozet. The hoppers are coming from the tidewater port of Newport News and heading for the McLure River Mine and Preplant that is along the old Clinchfield RR in western Virginia.
The temperature was already a balmy 87 degrees when I started my short walk into Bushey Point at Leesylvania State Park early on a summer morning. The air, as it has been all of the month of July, was already thick and heavy by the time the early morning northbound parade began on the RF&P. I135, stacks from Suffolk to Chicago, almost always has the power from I136 when it gets spun. Knowing this train would have 2 MACs, and a fresh leader, it was a nice easy decision on what train to chase this day. The bridge over Powell's creek is easily the best vantage point for good power on morning northbounds, and despite having shot many trains here through the years, still my favorite spot to sip coffee and watch em roll by. Being as busy as the RF&P is, it's tough getting everything north in the VRE rush hour windows. Somehow, BD manages to make it happen, and 135 rolled through at track speed with a hot train en route to Cumberland from Acca Yard for their crew change.
Two macs lead manifest from the Barge in Whittier with some great snow caps standing high above their pair. This was a great afternoon for trains on the arm.
Southbound LG1 slows to a stop at Caneyville to meet its counterpart loaded train on a sunny winter day.

Happy Caturday, Everyone!

Did you know that macaws have a highly flexible tongue supported by a bone, allowing them to use it almost like a hand?

In what was a very odd move, a pair of BNSF SD70MACs, still in BN "Executive" colors, lead loaded CSX coal train N910 down into the Thornapple River valley. This train of Powder River coal, which was destined for Consumer's JH Campbell plant in West Olive, would normally run up the Grand Rapids sub to Holland and continue north to West Olive. The details are fuzzy to me now, but I believe the train was re-routed "the long way" via Toledo and Plymouth because of a derailment on the NS near Porter, IN where the GR sub connects to the NS Chicago district. I want to say this was the only time I ever saw this happen. Also, I absolutely loved those cream and green MACs with the classic BNSF logo on the nose!
