I belong to another Forum, For Diesel Powered Trucks.
I posted about Rail Watching, I got called everything but a White man from a guy that claimed to be railroad employee Conductor/Engineer,saying we were all foamers?

Foamers? What the heck is a foamer? Someone who foams at the mouth whenever a train rolls by? Interesting that railroad employees don't like rail fans. If that person can be believed. I have taken pictures of of both sides I guess. Once while waiting for a train to cross, and me on my bike (before the accident of course) the engineer actually waved at me while passing by. However, I also remember passing the local repair yard here, and stopping the Bronco to take some shots with the Nikon camera, and as I pointed it at the engine, the engineer, closed the window so I could not see him. Didn't bother me too much as I was not really interested in him anyway, just the locomotive he was driving.

Media's been pretty quiet about the restoration. Here's a story from May to outline some of its history and changes being made.

Was hoping to see some updates but not to be.
