COOL train catches! .........couple interesting things come to my aging 🤣🤣 mind, the "old, former" Nickel Plate Road used to put the varnish "in the hole" so long freights could pass on the main. Their reasoning for that was, "its easier to stop & start a short, fast passenger train than for a long freight". When you think about it, that does make sense! The other item, seeing the "SUNOCO" gas station in the background, my late wifes late uncle, J.P. HENDRIX, was one of the founders of Sun Oil Company.........nice to see theyre still around!

I hope everything has gotten better since the accident! and I hope you enjoyed the trip home on the back of 2102! I didn't even notice you were on the back of it till we noticed you at New Ringgold. I also went through the video and found where me and Justin were throughout the return trip, for anyone interested about who we are. 8:26, To the left by the Danger pole. 14:26, To the left by the removed railroad tie's. 19:29, To the right by the gravel pile. 32:57, To the left behind the white truck, this is where we first saw you on the back of the train. 49:54, To the right just after the crossing.

You must be moving up the corporate ladder now, getting the ride of a lifetime! Sooo, you lost your road vehicle, but that does happen, material things can be replaced, but not the human side. Any word on the 7128?🤔? Whats next? a cab ride on 2102🤔 ?

Lol! Well I've got a good job at the railroad now, but I'm not that far off the bottom of the ladder. I'm enjoying the heck out of it though which is more important. Sadly I can't replace that truck with another like it as inflation has put them far out of reach, so I'm still majorly bummed about that day. I'm not sure what 7128 is? As for a 2102 cab ride, I'd gladly take that too if it's ever offered. I think there's a lot of folks ahead of me in line for that though lol.
