Sounds like a really swell afternoon, there, doctorwayne. It's really too bad that you missed getting a snap shot of that new fangled diesel-engine-powered locomotive. I recently heard this young fella in the barbershop predicting that these new shiny, streamlined diesel-engine-powered locomotives will someday replace steam locomotives as the predominate source of motive power on the railroads of North America. What a fool! I think he may have spent some time over at Beurghmaier's Tap Room prior to arriving at the barber shop. Just imagine! How could that ever happen?! The thought is pure ridiculousness!
At any rate, you did manage, as you so often do, to get a few very fine snapshots of some interesting rolling stock, which should be fine subjects for a couple modeling projects over the next winter’s cold nights. And you know … I’ll just bet that if you decided to put your mind to it, you could probably manage to build a reasonable facsimile of that moving van! I have every confidence.
I do hope the opportunity presents itself for you to catch that new-fangled diesel-powered streamliner on film before it leaves the area … I’ll bet it’s a sight to behold. I look forward to seeing pictures of it.
