Can you hear it?
Author: msharps

A damp and quiet fall day at Railtown is interrupted by the mournful wail of a distant whistle echoing through the hills as the Motherlode Cannonball labors up the grade to Jamestown, California.

Wow! I can't decide which is better, your exquisite description or the image itself...

Well, yes I can. Only the Cannonball was headed up the hill on the track you see going to left in the far distance. Saw 28, 34 and Shay 2 charge that hill many times. The great thing is I recorded all their goings so I can put on my headphones, close my eyes and it's still 1979.

It was a great show.

Heck, I would be happy to see a pair of yellow and red Baldwin S-12's coupled nose to nose come peeking over that hill!

I can feel the coolness in the air, and the scent of the grasses and leaves.

IMAGE OF THE DAY!
