Thanks Mac, nice to see all the EMD's out and about. Thanks Pedro, been lots of coal trains lately. Was hot today at 90 today.

Terrific Tuesday comments:
Warm weather and hot action, a winning combination.
Especially enjoy seeing the coal trains; they impressed me the most when I was a little boy.
Spools are the bulkhead flat are an interesting catch. If one broke loose, it could really cause havoc.
Light engine move was a super nice catch; those GP's still have what it takes.
Unit Of The Day is BNSF #97651 with Honorable Mention to NS #1014.
Thanks for staying with it; we're almost near the end.
Always appreciate your dedication and work.
