Western Railroad Discussion > A Fan is Born [additional evidence]Date: 04/23/14 17:29 A Fan is Born [additional evidence] Author: santafe199 Yesterday morning (22nd) my good friend & fellow Kansas Gangster PRose/Bob Helling posted a thread about his brand-new 4-legged railfan partner “Mrytle”. (here’s a link to that thread: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?1,3387726> ) Bob got the thread posted, then he & his new partner set forth from Salina to join SCKP187, oklachaser & myself in chasing the UP deadhead move of 18 business cars down the old Rock Island GSR.
After a successful chase all parties met up at the old Santa Fe depot in McPherson, KS. I’m here to tell you that Bob does indeed have a new loyal but ‘highly excitable’ partner. Here she is telling Bob how to shoot a K&O consist sitting nearby. I figure she has a right to tell Bob how to shoot pics. After all, he made HER drive the car… ;^) 1. Myrtle, telling Bob to get a little better angle on that roster shot. (K9 railfan portrait taken April 22, 2014 in McPherson, KS) Woof!

We had our mutt Bob along for the ride one day and it just so happened when we got up to the tracks we met a westbound train. The crossing we were watching from was a quiet zone so all the noise being made was a bell and the rumbling. Once he realized what was coming his direction, he stared, took several steps back, ears went down and he darted underneath the car chair. I guess those orange BNSF GEs were just too ugly for him!

Reminds me of riding with you when you're on the chase. Myrtle is not talking. :) Roberto PRose Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/23/14 18:30 by PRose.
