Absolutely, Vanessa. Merry Christmas! :D

Also, I think Gregg got some pics of him in Bitely hanging out the window like a seasoned railroader. :)

Did you happen to get any of me from KC to Casinovia? Or russ from Casinovia to Grant?
This is my life. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

If this is a problem get used to it.

I was at a lot of the same spots JT was, so I won't post any duplicates of those. However, I did get one decent night shot of the train.

Looks GREAT on the big screen. I bet you're glad you snapped that shot when you did instead of waiting any longer as you originally lamented. Now that I see it on the bigger screen, the right "hand" of the snowman is placed perfectly in the space in front of the train. Also, had I noticed that big ass weed, I would have ripped it out for you. :wink:

Gregg was taking pacing shots of the train with you in the window. Ask him about them. :)

Thanks, Glenn. For some reason I didn't take note of what road I was on after getting that shot. I'm sure I would have found it eventually on google earth, but you just saved me some time. :D
