Well cheched the signal today it was yellow so i said well i have my camara on me so i will head to moon ( its a passing siding) there i go to the west end check the signal red so it was coming in my mind i deside to back down the country road so i colud get out easier sure enuogh i get stuck in mud takes many handfuls of ballest to get me out which took only 20 mins still no train check signal agin after all that. green signal. very disapointing after that struggle.

Any one else had a day like mine.

Nope, and thank goodnes. Sounds pretty rough. All though, I have had worse days so atleast you got unstcuk in the less than 20 minutes. I have had days were its gone 20 hours.

I actually got my wife to come with my son and I over to Pomona’s station to railfan, and sure enough, no trains.

4

When I railfan I see trains every 1/2 hour or so. I got it good, lol.

i have a good setup now for railfanning. i get home from skool and listen to the scanner as i do homework. if im lucky, ill catch NECR switching new london(i can hear them real clear in gales ferry) and hope that mom and dad arent too exausted from work so i can beg for a trip to new london. anyone else that railfans around here-- is it alwayse RMPX9426 as power on the point?(or at least in the consist) ive seen it twice, all the time with 9426, another RMPX unit, and NECR3855.

Every morning that I am home at around 8:20 am I hear the horns of a loco on the CSX line which is about 3 miles away. Some day I want to be there when it crosses the overpass on Highway 98 in Wake Forest.
