We call that bit of belly a tool shed. Sorry you missed your ride but your health comes first. As always I enjoy your videos. In my day we let the boz ride with us in the hack as long as there weren't any brass hats around. Hope you enjoyed your Easter. God bless and good health.

Nice model trains Hobo. I would give you one of mine if I could. I have been thinking about making an HO scale figure of you for my layout and putting it in a covered hopper or the open door of a boxcar.

From 1986 - 2006 I used to visit Johnson City on a regular basis. I worked for a company called Kennametal located on 128 Roweland Dr. I've since retired but still enjoy seeing views of the JC and Tri-Cities areas. Keep up the great RR videos. Happy Easter and God bless you, safe travels.

Yeah sucks because I could have caught northbound or southbound today and that's the toughest thing on earth to do is ignore a perfectly good train....lol It'd be my luck Vanderbilt Hospital would call me as soon as I got on
