So far this month has been quite warm, gentle and sunny. But nothing is forever so we now have the usual grey that is typical for November. Nevertheless hiking along River Weser was great fun. Minden, Ostwestfalen, Germany

A typical hot and muggy Pennsylvania summer afternoon greets a returning Altoona RailFest excursion as it cruises down grade past MG Tower in June of 2009. For a moment, one could almost believe this was still the "Standard Railroad of the World."

Gold Standard. Hmmm. I am always suspicious of self promotion. Best Burger in town, best coffee, pizza, poutine in town. These are statements, which I do not put much faith in. I did not try. They may be the best, but sometimes GS is just BS. This store is selling $6 sandwiches. Not expensive for Toronto, but nothing special, nothing I could not make at home.

I believe this was the previous days train 224 that was held at East Creston. A crossing was bring replaced at Orrville, Ohio and the job must not have made to the work zone before an OOS was handed down. We discovered it there crew less in the early morning hours and continued our day with a 712. Finishing up with 712 at Akron, we took a quick drive back to to Creston in the afternoon hoping to see a crew boarding, and yielded just that! The chase was on!

L394 is restarting in Connellsville after a brief crew change, with lots of smoke being created by the second engine in line, which is a C40-8W. Ironically it was making more smoke than the older SD40-2 in front. The landscape here is looking very lush green right after some heavy rains.
