Worked it out with the ex I got my boy for the weekend and he is excited. The wife has the day off of work and she can't wait either(god I love that woman) even though I am sure she will be reading her tablet all day.

Even though my parents place is only 20 mi down the B&O at mp26 I'm not even telling them I will be in the area just so I don't have the distraction.
What smells like lube oil and diesel.... Oh wait it's just my "Locomotive Breath"

Heads up for the east siders heading down I75 next weekend - construction starts in Toledo and continues south several miles as the southbound lanes are apparently rebuilt. Might be some slow going if traffic gets heavy...

Well I'm glad I don't have to be on 75 at all to get to Fostoria from Lansing.

People from Detroit land can take I-75 to northern Toledo, hop on I-280 to US-23 and miss it all as well. People coming down US-23 to toledo can just follow US-23 the whole way too. Thank your god for alternative routes around construction?

To be fair, he used a lower case g, thus making his statement more of a figure of speech than an actual appreciation of a deity. :wink:

As seen elsewhere: NKP derailment near Cassad, IN

http://www.news-sentinel.com/apps/pbcs. ... 1012/LOCAL
http://interactives.wane.com/photomojo/gallery/14179/1/

The key comment elsewhere: "NO traffic though Fostoria for a few days."

Hopefully this will clear up for the weekend. Perhaps Saturday will be like taking the cork out of the bottle for traffic.
