Action at the roundhouse

[cn nutbar]

Recently Charlie and I had a chance to do some railfanning on the Elora Gorge & Eastern rails.At the EG&E Lowbanks Terminal we were lucky to catch Canadian National Consolidation #2747 on the turntable being prepared for it's return trip to the Leetown Division---unfortunately we couldn't get a clear shot as there was an unknown foamer obstructing our view---I'll bet he got a great shot of the action at the roundhouse that day.

That unknown foamer turned out to be a pretty good guy after all---when he realized he was blocking our view he came over to apologize and promised he would send some of his pictures from that day to Charlie and me---true to his promise this shot arrived in the mail.Along with the picture was an invitation to join him the next time we head to the EG&E and he will provide a personal tour---looking forward to that day.

I dunno, Ed ...them there whippersnippers hangin' around the tracks gimme the heeby-jeebys.  They think everythings great fun until they git run over by a train a few times.  That'll take the starch outa 'em pretty darn quick, but the next thing ya know, they're lookin' t' givya a lawsuit.

I'll tell ya one thing fer certain...you'll not see me wearin' no suit around all them smokin' trains.

No disrespect intended for those working in different scales, but I thought it appropriate to share this Christmas message created by my brother, who is also the creator of GERN and all its advertisements...

Hiho:

Time to greet the train nuts!
