I'm still messing around with the new point & shoot to get a feel for it. Took a few more shots just for grins.
1) If the engr has his head in the game, the cond's job isn't too hard. Actually the hard part is staying awake. If anyone ever tells you they haven't falling asleep on a train, they are full of it.

2) The most dangerous thing we do... switching haz mat like fuming nitric acid? Nope. Riding in vans. Van companies get the quality people for which they pay, but they don't pay much.

3) Hi Dee Ho trailer park Bill, Wyo. Not a great place to live - a 100 mile round trip just to buy a few gro or rent movies.

4) NACCO Jct. ( North Antelope Coal Company) I'm hanging a right into N Antelope mine. Must have been a hot train - the BN disp is holding a BN load - on the left. On the right is the BN helper set with crew snoozing until someone stalls on a grade & calls for a shove.

5) "Baloney bulls" waiting for the market to improve & a one way trip to a packing plant. Bedded down for the day while the wind howls around them.

I remained awake all night, and we lived to tell the tale. SW
