Railroad days, with Mike Yuhas on site to offer advice on getting good photos.
I am planning on Sunday. Note to Carl: Get a nice parade on the way Sunday morning.
I hope somebody from Trains weighs in on this thread, telling us who’s going to be there and when.
I also hope that Pat remembers that I’m planning on going out there after work one of those days.
Will we see Erik and Mike duke it out (figuratively, of course!) on the premises?
Will we see the Kat and the Matt?
As for the parade, I’ll see what can be done. How would you feel about seeing the concrete-tie machine pulling up to the diamonds?
That would be totally cool!
Does anyone have info with regard to the track work UP is doing? I have been trying to get down to Rochelle recently but I have heard it said that because of track work on the UP there will not be as many trains as usual.
That’s it, Solz–rebuilding Track One (the north track) with new rail and concrete ties, from DeKalb west to Dixon (omitting Global 3, which is already fresh).
Hi all! I’ll be down there on Saturday with Mike Yuhas. Stop by the table and say hi!
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

I wish I could make it over, but other events take priority. I’m shooting for Galesburg, though.
