6/27/2012, We took a ride on a coal train at the Kiski Junction. We took empties north to the mine, loaded them, and returned to Shenley.  It took about 4 hours total. Here is DrWayne boarding.

Hi Charlie,

this picture confused me for a minute ... DrWayne slightly looks like me (or vice versa)
& my first reaction was....  whattt?  why is there a picture of me there, oh, wait a minute...read the caption.

As far as body doubles go,  30 years ago my wife & I took part in the Puget Sound Canoe Race going from W Seattle over to Bainbridge Island.  It was a fantastic day, the water was incredibly calm and there was absolutely no wind.  Something like a 90 minute crossing if I remember right.  At the picnic held at the destination, I came back from the food line to join my family.  Everyone was surprised I had made it through the line so quick.  Looking over at the food line, I saw my doppleganger!  My folks, my sisters and my wife all had thought it was me.  We didn't have a camera to prove it though.  A very strange moment.  Has forever colored my outlook regarding eyewitness testimony in jury trials.

Anyway, thanks for sharing.  Now I know what Dr Wayne looks like.
Give him my best.

Chippawa was on a line from Niagara Falls to Fort Erie. It had been truncated just south of the river. The line runs through what is now Marineland. Originally Michigan Central.
There was a bridge over Chippawa Creek, just in front of the loco.   One of the town councillors wanted something done about the bridge. His lumber yard was the only customer there, so the bridge was demolished.
