Eastern Railroad Discussion > Sand/Quaker Oats landmark...Akron, Ohio

Had my annual MRI yesterday on my brain and cervical spine regarding the MS; they found two new lesions in the brain which means the disease has progressed some. But I will not let it keep me indoors away from my hobby. I got my car back from the body shop after striking a telephone polie January 15 on the way to work. I was trying to avoid and accident had already heppened during an intense snow squall. I avoided the cars and people which was the goal; I was not cited but the drivers of the other cars were for failure to move to the side of the road as no major damage or injuries had occurred...the first picture is of the M369 from a platform that is part of a shortcut. The former Erie ROW is just off to the right of me. Picture number two is of the CSX B453, loaded sand, by what was known as AY. And picure number three is of the CSX B464 from the body shop parking lot from where I had my car fixed...

Picture numbers four and five are of the CSX I 135 with a SD70MACe rebuild 4784. Saint Bernard's Catholic church is off to the left in the backgrond while the former Quaker Oats is on the right in the background. The young girls that had crossed the tracks actually waited to see the train when the one girl said lets watch the train go by first then we can get to our destination. My oldest daughter went with me as the balance when walkiing lately sucks. Picture number six is of the CSX B454 few weeks back passing the former Amtrak station. Thanks for looking...
