Yah, well, mine was alright. Halloween is never my Favorite time of the year, I guess because I never really do much with it anymore. Went Ghost hunting...didn't find a thing. *shrug* oh well.

anyway, on Thursday we did the "Derail Shuffle" The deal about that is, we had to place 5 cars on track 14...but the throat to track 14 could only accommodate one car without the locomotive. Otherwise your over the derail and well...screwed. So to do this we needed two locomotives to "dance" around the car. I was the conductor for 104, who did all the dancing among the sidings, while 1026, our GP9 ran among the mainline picking up the cars and brining them to the throat. In, out, in, out, all the siding we ran about. XD being the conductor I had to think ahead three steps in each of my movements, and I was cunningly on the ground, our riding equipment.

We worked late into the night. Night time got especially dangerous when switches couldn't be seen, and I still had to move among the darkened equipment and tracks. I was issued an electric lantern, do to the fact that the oil ones where locked up inside. (shut up steamby, in a situation like that one you took what was given and didn't complain) and worked until 10:30 when the last car was in place.

anyway, I'm starting to work on getting my hours on 1026. which is good. ^^ Its not hat hard to operate once you get the hang of it.

Also special thanks to CNW4648 for giving my an N-scale 4-8-4. Its a beauty and goes a long way to enhancing my miniscule collection of N-scale equipment.
