Visiting John's M&O

I had a chance to visit the M&O last night and brought a bunch of Railwire related stuff. I bet some of you may recognize a good bit of the equipment I ran. It reminded me of how many friends I've made through this dumb forum, and how lucky I am to have met so many of you.

His layout is looking really good...

John's efforts on scenery lately have been paying off dividends

I know. I almost pulled the loads out, but I've left messes of John's layout before in the past, so didn't want to rock the boat TOO much. lol.

Surprised CSX let Cody run steam.  Should have had it loaded on a flatcar to keep the lawyers happy.

It was Chessie night ..  the other end of the railroad a work train was taking up some track and ties on a portion of mainline deemed surplus to it's needs .. hoe to turn it into a rail trail some day for the nimbys to ride their fancy bikes on ..

Nice job, Cory! Now's the part where @seusscaboose will tell you about what happened the time he made me weather a fleet of meat refers (it was a sausage train) using ONLY powders.

Long story short, I moved to Pittsburgh and have his face on my toilet seat.

Here's a Clerihew about Ed. K.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."
