The Fort Wayne Railfan

Hey Markedup, did you get to the meeting yesterday? If so, was Richard there? Didn't make it myself, had other issues.

If you listen quietly at the 300S crossing. you can still hear the ole EL train blow. (In Wells Co. they say that "strange things" happen!)

Welcome to the Ft. Wayne board, Jason! I wondered when you would get to our neck of the woods. Let us know how the open house goes in ole NJ. The line to Auburn is the Ft. Wayne and Jackson line ot the NYC. Not quite as interesting as the 3I in your area. BTW, are the panhandle tracks still down in ...

And don't forget that the "V" man will be giving his 4th slide presentation for the after dinner entertainment.

Maybe "slo-approach-slo" Cass T. can provide more details for us C.B., and let's don't forget to remind everyone that the Wabash H.S. convention will be at the Sauder Village @Archibold this Sept. also. Maybe "2800" can give us more details on the meeting if he is still out there alive and well. Tha...

Anyone know anything about the little derailment on Sat. morning? Was the tender damaged at all? Seems like things went okay after the little incident. Everything looked okay when we went by in the evening.

Release date to be announced soon.

Crowd was rather thin Saturday night. 765 was steamin' nicely, but we didn't get to see her move. Lots of smoke over Jefferson Pk last night. Too soon it will all be over.

Thanks Micheal. I probably will not venture out there. Let us know if you hear any more about the BNSF expansion. I've heard that the trend is to get the T.T. yards out of Chicago, neighbors don't like the noise.

Additional info is also available on the Wabash RR Historical Site. Now if we can just get V.B. to get his "jackson line" book to the publishers!!!

I'd be willing to bet the family farm that I'll be seein' some of you out there runnin' around at T.T. this weekend!

We should also remind the good folks on this board that the steam and gas show will also be in process around the corner on Webby that weekend. Lookin' forward to seein' all that black smoke fillin' the air.

Does BNSF also use this facility? Is it worth going to see-is it a major facility???

Hey Markedup, be careful that they don't see you when you prowl around the scrapyard. They might just take you on as their part-time "junk yard dog". (Bark loud enough, and they'll give you a free ride on the switcher.)

Cool photo! But to answer your question, no-sirree-Bob! (LoL)
