September Ketchup "Komments":
Clear nice weather and heavy traffic are a winning combination.
Nice lead-off with a WB Manifest followed by an EB Manifest; They are the real moneymakers,
Coal business definitely appears to be holding up.
Very nice foreign power catches UP #9063 and FXE #4055.
Another nice power catch was green/white BNSF # 1473 still earning its keep.
Units Of The Day are BNSF #9038 & #9341 leading a WB Coal Train (my favorite kind of train)
Definitely super enjoy the Ketchup you serve.
Always appreciate your postings.

For the benefit of us Midwesterners, what does "  Ketchup" mean?  Another benefit would be if you took shots from other vantage points instead of your backyard.  Honestly, they all look the same after a while.  Just trying to be helpful so please don't be offended!
