I'm still trying to figure out how to get my tractor off the wall and clean the driveway.Sheesh. Just put a cab on it already and call it a tractor.

Don't you worry bout us!
We can bring our own, and share!
I am looking into taking a train trip from here to Milwaukee in May for Carol's birthday. You talking about it got me going on that. It would take about 44 hrs but no gas charges, no driving for 2 days behind the wheel, no knee and back pain, no hotel charges. I won't feel like a zombie when I get there. I realized when I turned 50 I really decided I don't enjoy these trips anymore, at all!

Our friends live in Fort Meyers now. They used to be our neighbours. They just came up to Canada to see family and they loaded their car on the train and took it up to Pennsylvania I think it was. They really enjoyed the train ride and unloaded the car and drove to Canada. They said it was really nice and sounds like a great idea.
Sounds good keep going till you end up in North Dakota Always welcome here and we will get SLO and his wife to be here and I will drink all your good booze but will put some steaks on the grill or maybe just canned chili and hot dogs if you want.
Been to Milwaukee lots picking up beer in a semi and taking it wherever nice place.
So we should all jump the train and meet some place.
I love trains. Hindsight I should have got a job on the railroad. I'd be close to retirement with a healthy pension.
A lot of being away from home though. Probably would have quit. There is a cool little town called Essex in the heart of the Rockies. It has a lot of RR heritage. They call it the High Line. There is a place called Izaak Walton Inn. They have old cabooses to rent by the night. Cool place if you ever get a chance to visit it.

If I was retired I would. I have at least 9 years yet so stay healthy.
I used to literally "jump the train" when I was a kid. I could knock about 10 minuets off of my walk home from school. Dang thing was accelerating a little too much on me one time and I took a pretty good tumble.
Just popped in to say Hi all...

I got hosed when I lived in Florida. I jumped a slow train in Ft Lauderdale to go a couple towns over...
...well, the damned thing picked up too much speed and this 14 yo kid was too scared to jump. Wound up in Miami.
That really sucked! I suppose I deserved it, eh?

Who did it MMP?
May I inquire as to the cost or would you have to kill me?
As far as I know SLO is a welder and came up here to North Dakota to help a friend run his shop. But hope he comes on soon to let us know.
Their shop has a spur that feeds box cars to the shop. I'm assuming they repair them.
