Western Railroad Discussion > Self quarantine part 1.Date: 03/26/20 13:54 Self quarantine part 1. Author: lilwes Went out yesterday and today to watch trains while the county is in a "Safe at home" order for the next 30 days. One of the things you can do is "Outdoor actives alone or with family. Do not play non the playground equipment". Well I'm to old for the playground so it was off to a secluded spot along the UP Kansas Sub. All pictures were taken at Midina, KS. That's 1 mile west of Perry, KS. The UP 1989 was on a WB manifest. CN 5749 was on one a coal bucket. UP 1764 was on the Lawrence local, LMC40. Looks like I will be spending a lot of time at the tracks for the next month. Everyone stay safe out there.
Thanks for looking, Wes Wes Chiles Topeka, KS    Date: 03/26/20 13:55 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: lilwes A couple mor from the last two days.

mg8711 Date: 03/26/20 20:12 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: bath_wildcat The two SD40N's on the local I have seen here in Topeka, KS. In fact yesterday my wife and I gave a shor chase of them over by Ithink it was Curtis St here in Topeka.
I was hoping i was gonna ge the 1989 for a long time Rio Grande friend, but missed it as I had no idea it was here. Michael Fair Royal Oak, MI Date: 03/26/20 20:17 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: SCKP187 Nice shots Wes--a good use of your alone time.

Date: 03/27/20 05:00 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: lilwes Some lady from the health department came on TV last night and explained that "Sunday drives" were not okay as an outdoor activity. So I guess I'll have to stay home.
Wes Wes Chiles Topeka, KS Date: 03/27/20 05:15 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: bmarti7 Nice catches Wes. I'm glad you got out. Not sure I agree with the Sunday drive thing but I also will submit to our government because God's Word tells me to (Romans13)
Thanks for helping with that other situation as well. Stay safe. BB Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 03/27/20 05:18 by bmarti7. Date: 03/27/20 07:24 Re: Self quarantine part 1. Author: lapklub It's our job to "document" the rail movements in the country to show the world things are getting to where they need to go in this time of uncertainty.
