Thanks Jim, Dick, and Penny! And happy belated birthday Jim! Don't know how I missed it! No spring yet, either. Winter, at least this week, has made an unwelcome return. No train trips either, until June when I make a run to Glacier Park. Oh well, the anticipation is half the fun!

You are correct Dave. I am old, but not that old. Even though I live in Florida, I am not in a retirement home yet.

Happy Birthday Stephen. How does it feel to longer be a teenager? (Really - I want to know since it has been sooooo long since I was 20).

Feliz cumpleanos (Spanish), Long Train!
Memory Lane, from the Team Whooz RailRiot 2009:
Memory Lane, from the Team Whooz RailRiot 2009:
Long Train at Long Branch: Steve sports his fez on the platform. He expressed concern that his appearance sans fez would have made him subject to disciplinary action. This was not the case, however, as the RailRiot is not an official Amtrak Unlimited activity. Still and all, the RailRiot was very pleased to see Steve wearing the fez with a mixture of pride and embarrassment. HAHA!!

This shows just how much fun a Gathering is, and how well planed, Recovery time is built in. Another comment
the Photographer is about 3 times the age of the subject.
