railrod1949 last active jan 19. the good news is no obituary with his name found. hope he’s doing well.

does bill from sri still come around

Hey ive been wondering about a couple of michigan railfans i havent seen post in awhile...whatever happened to that older guy from waterford. I forgot his name

LOL yes, perhaps I did.

Sorry AARR. Perhaps you peaked too soon?

Now, I’m more than double those times.

I don’t know how the distance translates but in high school I ran the half mile, mile and two mile in 2:30, 5 and 10 respectively. I know it’s weird that I didn’t have faster intervals on the shorter distances.

Question of the day. Should I sit at hotel for 5 hours or go look around for more tren. Could easily see tren at clearin yard.

YES!

Those are very respectable times

2:38 for the 800 meter and 13:39 for the 3200 meter. He certainly just enjoys running, which is what's really important.

What were his times?

correct

appears jetlink is riding through some storms in florida, an hour behind.

Got up in my friends Piper Pacer today, did some pattern work at PTK

Now onboard flight 2771 deadheading to Chicago.

so they make it so the bridge doesn’t close for only one train whenever possible.

they are under pressure to not open the new river drawbridge just to the north like they had been doing. they risked having the coast guard set the rules for opening. water traffic has the legal right-of-way.

Choo Choo coming your way, Z

Well maybe not gross. But they were certainly not good

Enough train chat though. I ordered nachos for lunch and they were gross

They also had two newish looking blue units in consist behind them.

Saw a locomotive set with the LNG tender in between them.

Live from Ft. Lauderdale, FL.......

354 and 355 are running at least. No 370 or 364 because their trainsets stayed at GR and PH, respectively

Yup, somebody tore up a good bit of CP 485

Another NS derailment on the Chicago Line has cancelled all of today’s Amtrak Michigan trains.

Reminds me of a Russian physics instructor... excellent professor, but sometimes it took a moment to process the accent in the brain.

I was lucky for having good economic instructers whom I still remember to this day

never take an international economics course with a greek professor. between the subject matter boring you to sleep and not understanding the profs pronunciation, you’re pretty much guaranteed to not succeed

got a 15 mile trek in yesterday. watched kiddo run at kentwood track meet.

I am the only Chatter

bikey before the games.

I was pleased that she gave everyone a chance. I like it better that way.

More softball games today. Double header in Holt. And the girls actually won both games for a change. The coach played every single girl tonight. Even the normal bench warmers. They all did well.

I knew the first one. Had to look up the second.

OK so it is actually latin.
