If your looking for a report filled with sunny pics, exotic locations and dancing girls, well...this aint your day..
Caleb and myself had decided to see what was shaking around the local vicinity Saturday morning. We headed out under clear skys and cold temps, but the weatherman said it was gonna cloud up, and for once he got it right. We started out on the LS for a few sunny shots of 223, then spent the rest of the day chasing sucker holes.
223 leaves the siding at East Talmage after meeting 375

Excellent pics Emmett. With the 229 on two track, was that the tail-end of 60A on one track?

Correct...twas the rear of a late 60A
Also for those who didn't notice the different hues of blue on the nose of NS 229, that unit is an ex-LMS.
