101 by mp236 at 8:01 with Mark and Bam on 823,817 acknowledging our many lights from our front porch and Mr Jerry Groothouse joining us this evening. What a LONG  train as Glenn stated with a lot of double stacks to please Mr. Hertwig.

202 by mp236 at 5:09 with 806 & 819.   Well, we will just call this one the "rack train" as 90% were auto racks. The first ten percent was some IM and one lonely tank leading the pack of racks. 
101 just at Oak Hill.

FEC107 Oct 29, 2015

107 by mp236 at 10:42 with Tim shining his circular light to my blue light. Could make out a long string of racks towards the front followed by IM with I think three Ashley's, but a rather short train this evening. Looks like 222 going into FO and two trains on the heels of 107. Believe 111 and 117, but not necessarily in that order. Guess night for me and count cars instead of sheep.

101 by mp236 at 8:22 with a fairly long train in the dark. A big wattage flashlight, my blue lantern and sparklers is simply not enough light to make out the consist. Sounds are great and shaking of the ground too. Not always necessary for a visual.  We feel so fortunate for what we now have to hear or watch our beloved FEC.

202 by mp236 at 5:08 with 823 & 817.  Not only was Jim waving away, but an arm waving from the cab window and another from cab window on 817 to my sparklers. Rock up front with one having the huge paint roller tagging that Paul Zanghi posted a couple of weeks ago.  IM with a Cosco, Matson, Estes and the empty NS coal cars on the bottom. There was that one lonely Conrail tucked away. 
101 out very late, so will be dark thirty by here.
