Greetings: Spent the last weekend sloshing through the rain in the Altoona, PA area with the Conrail Historical Society in search of the SD80MAC's. Saw the last two in Dress Blue (albeit faded) along with many sisters who already got the 'dip' treatment from NS. Sundays tour of the Juniata Shops was interesting, but with a complete photo ban in effect, was unable to document any changes. The Saturday banquet was good with the NS regional General Manager, Bob Bartle, giving many insights to the whys and hows of major projects past and pending in the area.
Otherwise, spending the last week of freedom before heading back to work with Sperry Rail Service.....maybe we'll be testing through your home town!!!
