lit for the business cars.
It was a successful evening with the help of Jerry Groothouse, Richard Benjamin, Gerald
Capen, Caboose Mikey and Erin from local historical society portraying the second Mrs.

The 101 coming by with the beautiful business cars simply added icing to the cake.

If the trespasser wasn't bad enough north of us, the weather has been ridiculous for this time of year with rain and wind off and on every fifteen minutes or so. Was surprised 222 went ahead and then sat in siding at Gifford for 107 to come south. Trying to type this message and 117 sneaks up before I can flash my light. Guess 222 stayed in the hole at Gifford and I do believe 218 is waiting in Rio to come north. Let me tell you folks, the wind and rain is howling in my window. Had to wipe off the screen so that Tim could see my light. Hope this weather is not following ECH north.  Nite if I can sleep through the whistling wind.

Just once by mp236 here at Caboose Junction South around 4:15AM and did not leave until 4:45AM. Heard the horn to the north, waited to hear the rumbling go by and silence. Then heard some squeaks on the frog, so  jumped out of bed and they were completely stopped, but engines were to the south and could not see them.  I ran to Caboose's room, but he was too busy counting cars, so did not have the heart to wake him since he is now two weeks sick.  About 10 minutes later the started inching forward and yes it was very long. I did make out the billboard, racks, IM, tanks and hoppers. Do not know if something around Wilcox Preseve sent them into emergency or a problem  with the St Lucie holding signal. Just glad it turned out nothing serious.
