Took cat to the vet's yesterday and while there heard that familiar sound of the train blowing its horn but to my surprise it was 2 Union Pacific engines pulling the line of freight cars not Norfolk Southern in fact no Norfolk Southern engine at all I know they lease from each other but never seen the other road name only running the run of cars by it's self. Guess they do but kinda surprised me.
Just a lazy evening. talk to you all later.
Actually this has been going on for some time. They now just run through. Train numbers changes from UP to NS but engines stay the same. Saw this in LA CA two years ago. NS engines leading UP trains at the docks. Railroads now agree that their road name engines do not have to lead.
Suppose to switch from sun to clouds. Rain for the next few days. We need it. Messes with Friday night HS games ands Sat. college football.
Meeting all day today.
Later.
