Thanks to Kevin for the graphics.

Welcome to the October, 2022, Jeffrey’s Trackside Diner!

This month we are in search of the splendor of the fall colors as the northern hemisphere transitions into fall (sorry Bear [:S])

Please post any colorful, fall photos you come across. Someone already predicted a prevalence of Mike Daneman photos. They may be correct.

Let’s have a fun FALL —

Thanks for getting us going, Ed.

This photo was posted by Matthew Hicks on this forum years ago and has been the background on my computer ever since. It is the siding at Massive just West of Banff.

The CPR company paper tells of a grizzly bear that lived at Massive siding well into old age helping itself to the grain that fell from the trains. The rail crews were quite at ease with the bears’ presence as the bear was with theirs.

My son and I hiked into this spot a couple of years after Matthew posted the pic and sat in this very spot for a couple of hours. Good times. Had the bear spray just in case.

Thanks for starting us out in the Fall Colours Ed.

I ran out of work early for the Fall season ahead of me and happy about it. I’m going to drive around and take some personal shots of Trains in the Minneapolis area and distant suburbs for Fall.

Give Wilson a big hug from me and Judy my Friend[;)]

Don’t have any Leaves for you yet, but I do have the best sunset I found on White Bear Lake Minnesota.

Hi TF,

That’s a pretty incredible photograph!!

Watching the sun set is so relaxing! If Dianne and I win the lottery one of our first priorities will be to buy or build a four season cottage on a waterfront property that faces west.

Thank you for the great picture!

Cheers!!

Dave

Good morning, diners. Sausage and hashbrowns this morning, Chloe. We’re headed out of town and I can’t wait for the bacon to fry this morning.

Ed, thanks for moving the diner! I slept through the move, so it must have gone smoothly.

Kevin, I would bet that the 5:00 p.m. time is to get people home and off the streets before dark. I’m sure the police are on alert for neer-do-wells out looking for things they’re not supposed to.

This photo is from about 20 years ago of the two maple trees. They are about twice this size now. Of all the trees on our property, these two put on the best autumn show:

Have a good day, everyone.

Good morning from the sunny West Coast where the Sun just popped up and is shining through our giant Sequoias and maples.

Thanks for all the kind words, folks!

My paving crew showed up today to put the finish coat of asphalt on the driveway [:D]

Fall colors on the C-N. The wisps of steam from the tops of the engines hint of cold weather —

How is it OCT already,

Greerings from my Southern Command post, we came down for a quick get away and to celebrate one of our musician firends birthdays.

Good to hear an update on Kevin.

I had to patch a hole in my siding down here that a limb had knocked into during one of the many tornados of this past spring.

Also having to fill in a hole, where squirrels are getting and chewing on things in attic, I shooed one out yesterday and found they were coming in around AC hose hole.

not much else going on,

Up in the north woods of WI for a couple of weeks, it’s just starting around here, I’ll make sure I get some pics as it develops.

Just wondering, anybody heard or seen anything from Henry?

Nice sunset TF !

Mike.

Henry and Charlie have both been missing from the diner for a while (unless I missed something).

Hope they are OK.

Speaking of someone missing. I found Cuda Ken’s real name and address the other day when I was cleaning up my filing cabinet. Is it kosher to drop him a note to see how he is doing? An internet search revealed no obituary; although I am pretty sure his father recently passed.

19

Yes. Because it says you care.

This is what Dianne and I were hoping to see on the Agawa Canyon Tour Train two weeks ago. Unfortunately we were too early:

Cheers!!
