I would like to take a moment on this, the 7th anniversary of this thread, to thank Charlie for starting it and thank you to all who have posted. It's truly a look into the past of our common interest.

Thanks Tom. I am glad you have enjoyed this thread as much as I enjoy sharing my pictures.  This day has many fond memories and I will take a minute to explain. 
I have a good friend that is a notorious railfan named Joe Jack. It would not surprise me if there are members here that know him too. At this time Joe was a second  trick crew dispatcher at Conway.  I would drop in to visit him at times and Saturday night, November 19 was when this sequence started.  
      He told me to hang around until he was off and we would go for a beer.  By this time in my life I was not drinking but an occasional beer was OK by me. 
When he was done we headed for the James Motel which was right at the ramp to Conway yard and the hang out for all the railroaders coming and going to work.
(I do mean going to work).  
       He had checked on Amtrak trains and found 41, the Broadway westbound was running late and we decided that Canton Ohio would be the place to catch it in daylight, so we hopped in his van and away we went. (Canton is only 80 miles from Conway) This is the result of that stop    
       We left Canton, and Minerva, Ohio was on the way and Joe wanted to show me where the yard was. It was still a haven for F7's so I enjoyed the trip. We took many photos of them and it made the trip quite worthwhile.
