Well they appear on my computer. Let's see if you can see the photos via this link
Severn Valley

Yes that's better, you might try view originals next time, then click on 'Copy Image Location', since that seems to work better and change the https to http, as I have done and the pics will display just fine.

The turntable is arriving! I'm watching the Spaulding Tower and CTC board webcams at http://irm.org. Schmidt Siding currently shows occupied; it was not when I left Sunday night.

Various people posted pictures and video on Facebook of it being delivered and sitting in our siding.

Wow, over the several years visiting a close friend in Rippingdale, as well as the countless deliveries made in that area, I never knew that was there :-(

Carlos - they have certainly cleaned Santa Ana station up since I was there in the 1970s - back then the tumbleweed rolled around in groups of three to ward off the marauding cacti..

That should say "Officials say one person is injured after driving their car into the path of a CSX train carrying coal."

Well poop. I just spent well over an hour (in between watching stuff on TV) writing, unwriting, rewriting, revising, and appending the story of my weekend at the museum. Just when I was pretty satisfied and about to post it, the d@mn computer overheated and shut down. Rather than try to recreate it, I'll just give you this link to the first of two or three posts in Einstein's TLPTPW thread where I describe it.

Two people were killed when an Amtrak train collided with a car in Northern California today, the Alameda County Fire Department said.

The crash occurred in San Leandro, a city on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay, according to the fire department. The Amtrak Capitol Corridor train 532, which operates between San Jose and Sacramento, was heading east when it struck the car, Amtrak Spokesperson Vernae Graham said in a statement.



@David, time to blow the dust bunnies out.
