“Looks like alot of CASS SCENIC Rail Road pics. Nice pics.”

“great pics. so who won?”

“Who won? You didn't read the captions. The guy holding the prize on his head won.”

“Nice pics. I love the shots of the eagle. Did you get a chance to check out how the Cass modle train is coming along?”

“We did not get to the Showcase this trip. Everybody wanted to hit the gift shop. However, I was there in May and it is coming along. There still seems to be more work to be done though. Not sure if the same guy is still there or not.”

“* bump *”

“I am planning a trip to the Sods in September and hope to include a side trip to Cass. I'll let you know how the model train is progressing.”

“Not hard to spot CS. She is the one with Yellow Waldies.

I hate those #&%!$ing shoes.......not hers....mine.

I ought to go torch Binks store for ever selling her the damn things.”

“Yeah, I don't think you want to mess with her Waldies.”

“Watch out for engineers blowing whistles, CD!”

“LOL. Yeah, I swear the engineer blew the whistle the second time just to see me jump out of my skin again.

The scouts and I rode a cog railway up to Pikes Peak (14,000+) in Colorado last month. I never did get a good look at how that works though.”

“Nice pictures of rusting hulks and rocks!”

“The cog railroads work very simply. A center wheel that the engine turns has cogs that engage the teeth on a center rail. Pulls the thing up the mountain. The one on Mt. Washington is one of the originals, and the little engines have their boilers on a slant so they will be level on the steep grade. Some of them look like little tea kettles.

Yeah MarkO, that last picture has some interesting rusting hulks and rocks. I see now why you turned in early.”

“I think I can

“Yeah Bit, those exact words were going through my mind as the train climbed up the really steep parts. The train was chugging along so slowly that I at one point I thought it was going to stop and then roll backward.”

“who's the scary dude in the black shirt? LOL

nice and foggy, just how i like it!

is that a monkey!!!”

“Was I wearin' a black shirt??”

“No, she means my son, Paul.

Is that a monkey? Her Adorableness has to ask is that a monkey?”

“What monkey?”

“don't worry MarkO, you're scary but i already knew who you were.”

“Good gawd, the man works in a library and he can't even read pictures!”

“The last time I check those pictures my pc got hosed with pop-ups.

That is why I asked, Geode.”

“You need a pop-up blocker”

“The tech weenies here are supposed to take care of that.

I just drive the dang thing.”
