Posted by Fred G on Sun Jun 22 12:22:23 2008 This trip was Awwwwwsome. Nice day, great folks and a bonus FL-9 sighting made this one of the best trips ever for this railfan. Even the dog-assed M7a crapping out on us didn't rain on our trip. It actually made for a nice unexpected photo op, as I hadn't seen an FL-9 in Brewster since 1979. We knew we had dibs on the day when we saw the red, white and black coming toward us.  BarOOOstah!  I can see why they do this; take 2 unpredictable locos, put them together and if one fails the other can pull the train. No bustitution that way.  Swell group and can't ask for a better photo prop.  At southeast before we switched to an electic.  Switching gears as we ended the trip at Harlem-125.  Meets like this happen all the time during the week but rare on weekends. As usual, there's an album for a trip like this. Thanks for looking and thanks to everyone who attended. I had an awesome time and hope you did, too. I look forward to the next adventure. your pal, Fred |
