The conductor on that EJ&E unit in Bridgeport yard at 15:00 was Al Mosher, since passed on. Great guy to work with. I always enjoyed my time working at Glenn and Hawthorne yards. Good people and laid back, just the kind of days you like..

I remember the first time I went to Chicago on the Empire Builder and had to wonder how a railfan could keep track of everything. Just think of how much it takes to bill a car through there. Love the J SD38-2 with the weed-cutter plows: reminds me of my favorite dash-2's of the Milwaukee Road.
