Re: Great Trackside Dining

The signal is far enough back from bww's where it shouldn't be too hard to see from their patio. I didn't realize there was also a Coldstone there as well. Another favorite of mine :mrgreen:

Re: Great Trackside Dining

The Depot Bar & Grill in Farbault, MN. It is in the old CRIP depot "Spine" line (Kansas City-St Paul)..which UP now runs ("Albert Lee Sub")..only sees 6-12 trains a day. I have never had the chance to eat there..but I have heard the foods ok. Dave C http://railnut.rrpicturearchives.net/pictures/244...

Re: Durand report 3-14-09

Durand has something that Fostoria or Columbus doesn't and thats friendly locals and a great atmosphere. Haven't been to Fostoria or Columbus yet, but I'm definitely going to Fostoria and Deshler this summer. Totally agree with your comment about Durand, a great place. Well Steve if you happen to a...

Great Trackside Dining

On Saturday, I was working out in the Fenton area and decided to stop at Yaya's on Silver Lake Rd for a quick lunch before heading to my next install. While eating, I was looking out the window and seen something that I never realized before. A Buffalo Wild Wings (my favorite restaurant in the world...

Re: Corrupt a Wish

Granted, but their arrogance still lingers.

I wish that tonight's episode of Trains and Locomotives on RFD is really good.

Re: Durand report 3-14-09

Nice pictures TrainNut. Reading your report makes me happy and sad at the same time. Happy that there are still days when Durand see's a good number of trains (for these days), sad that I can't make it out there when its going on. From what I've seen the last two times I've been out there, it seems ...

I wonder if CN is not going to change it. As of yesterday, they were still using 391.

Durand 3-9-09

After being stuck inside all weekend because of the crappy weather, I decided to take advantage of a nice sunny day and head out to Durand to catch whatever was going on and to try out a new camera lens. After arriving about 12:30, CN 391 is stopped just short of the high wye so it can cut off all b...

Granted, but it's a $5 hot and nasty from L.C.

I wish Dale Jr. would win the race today.

Re: Corrupt a Wish

Granted, but the workplace becomes too boring without the occasional irate customer.

I wish we didn't have to hear anymore about the stupid DTV transition and that everyone had their freakin converter box already.

So possibly Saturday May 2nd? I wonder if there's any Wifi available out by the depot? I have a laptop with the ATCSmon on it.

Re: Corrupt a Wish

Granted, but your excellent pictures still get rejected by railpicky.net for really stupid reasons.

I wish my wife would've let me stop in Deshler on the way home from Lima last Sunday.

Re: Corrupt a Wish

Granted, but then you become very bored when the PRE forum crashes and is not available for a couple of days.

I wish there was a new channel on TV broadcasting high definition railroad videos 24 hours a day.

Re: CSX GRE MQT Train Location Update 2-23-09

Speaking of Plymouth, decided to head down there this morning for a few hours. I am trying to break out of the mold and go to some places I've never been to before. Didn't see much other than some engines running back and forth. However, I did spot CSX 2654 with a Chessie Caboose. http://i286.photob...
