If you were plowing the company property, as part of your employment, they damn well should. Shouldn't be a matter of asking for it.
Good morning. Clear and 41.
I seem to have damaged something while plowing snow. Out of work since Friday, with more dr visits scheduled. We'll see if the company will allow a workers comp claim.
That is a question that I have asked before, wind gusts of 0 mph are hard to fathom as well. The one that really gets me is visibility of 10 miles when I can see the moon and the stars!Unsure how you can say a wind with 0 wind speed can be out of the N.E.;
Yeah! and yer can't see out the wind's 's easy, either.115 years ago today marked the first flight by the Wright Brothers. Seats have gotten smaller since then.
Joe - I continue to be appreciative of your "railroaders point of view" regarding the real thing. D.J. is another railroader here who enhances this forum.
Thanks to all for the comments regarding the SD40-2's; Garry, Curt, Chet, Joe, and anyone else that I may have missed. ATSF liked them, they owned 187 in all. I think that I have fifteen of them, with both the 123" and 88" short hood models represented.

David: That's how yard and industrial trackage is. The Baldwin Road Switcher is a six axle unit. Prototype equipment is more tolerant of tight radius curves than model equipment is...part of that is that model curves are tighter to begin with. On the railroad, you learned to make it work.
Concerning the photo Beady posted, it is not that unusual for residential buildings to be that close to the ROW. Two blocks from where I grew up, there were houses adjacent to the PRR's Philadelphia - Washington four track main. before the railroad was elevated in 1903, the tracks were at street level, adjacent to the rear of several blocks of residential structures. Those structures stood for 90 years before they were demolished as part of urban Renewal. Other lines of street railroad ran between rows of houses on either side of a narrow street or alley. Admittedly, that CN switcher was close, but there was a new home built in Dayton, NJ adjacent to the CR Amboy Secondary. The crossing protection blocked a portion of the driveway.

Hello. I had a post finished and lost it so no other post today.
I hope everyone has a good night.
Good evening .
Chet ... That is a nice shot of your logging operations.
Regarding Silver Streak kits, below is a wood caboose I put together using a kit for an SP caboose. I made it to resemble a GN caboose.
Good afternoon.
Terry ... Sorry to hear about your injury.
Curt .... Don't you just love technology. Now you see it. Now you don't.
Chet ... # 156 does look like it was a GN caboose. I like the Alco switcher passing by the trailer.
Willie. Boris, Chet, Greg, and others if I missed them ..... Thanks for commenting on my photos.
Below is my large grain elevator which ships to the flour mill and to the brewery.
I have noticed a big difference between posting here on the Coffee Shop and posting questions or comments other place at this website. If you post here you will get friendly and courteous answers and/or conversation. If you do it elsewhere, there is strong likelihood your answer; or, comment received may be sarcastic; or, downright nasty!
Now here's a somewhat longer vid with 2 much longer trains at Austin, Montana, meeting at the big curve at the bottom of Mullan Pass. Interesting is the NS additions to the BNSF trains. Volume up for these, especially for the 5 MRL ACe's in the middle of the "up" train.
Good Morning All. 39° and partly cloudy here in North Central Texas. Took advantage of the beautiful day outside yesterday to cut some more firewood from branches that I cut last winter and spring. Nothing like wind-free 60°+ weather in December. Set the Christmas tree up yesterday, one day later than normal, today it's string the lights. This year we put it in front of a window for the neighbors to see when they drive by.

Only spent a short period of time in the train shed yesterday due to other activity. I keep meaning to get pictures of that ROW/backyard scene that I worked on for what seemed like months, but I always get sidetracked. Eventually though.
Mark -

Curt - Looking forward to seeing the completed grade crossing. I have not used cardboard for something like that and will follow with interest. I have a beer store named after Eric, but nothing honoring Jeffrey.
Chet - You're right on regarding burning whole logs instead of splitting them. I only split to get them through the door of the heater. Around here, a cord is more than I need for a winter season.
Joe - I continue to be appreciative of your "railroaders point of view" regarding the real thing. D.J. is another railroader here who enhances this forum.
Garry - I have probably said this in the past when you posted pictures of your mill, but you did an excellent job there.
Ray - Glad to read that the cyclone missed you. I saw some news reports of the problems in NSW, including the crocodile warning.
Terry - Best wishes on a rapid recovery. Hopefully you reported it ASAP because many companies/insurance carriers will provide roadblocks if you delay.

Everyone have a great day.
