Gordi, Elro . . .great vides . . . but y'all just burned up a good portion of my internet for the month (jk). really good stuff. Well, I done spent
all my time for tonight playing dragon age, so goodmorrowmorn.
Did a little bit of impromptu train chasing yesterday with a few friends of mine. Got word, somehow and some way, that the Central of New Jersey
heritage unit was going to lead a coal train down the former Virginian Railway to Mullens, West Virginia. Central of New Jersey 1071, NS 1071 in
actuality, rolls south through Glasgow, West Virginia with one hundred loads of black diamonds. First shot is a screen capture off of my video
camera.
Bringing up the markers of the previously stated southbound for Alloy. Four leased Norfolk Southern units gently shove a hundred loads of coal along the former West Virginia Secondary of the Kanawha River Railroad.
Taking a hundred loads of black diamonds down the former Virginian Railway. The Central of New Jersey heritage rolls through Robson with the crew of KN37 behind the controls. This train would eventually stall out just a few miles from here and require a restart to get a run up the grade.
Seen passing through almost right at sunset or just after sunset. Another snapshot from the video camera this time shows the pushers shoving hard as they can on the rear of the train. This time as it soars nearly 150 in the air above Dry Fork Road just outside of Beckley, West Virginia.

Good day to all!
Well we got good news this morning.
The miner will be okay. He has 2 cracked vertebra and a fractured knee. But when hes healed up he will have full mobility again.
So thats great news.
It was kind of a jinx the other day. The entire mine site got jackets for being 1 year with out a Lost Time Injury.
Then literally the day after, that happened.
The miner will be off for the next 3-4 months to ensure he heals properly.
Hopefully he decides to come back to work. But if not, its totally understandable.
Theres a few guys here that had a hard time going back underground after having close calls. Even more who decide thats enough of that, and never go back underground.
Ive been lucky and only have 1 really close call.
I went to turn on a 4 ft exhaust fan that the electricians had just rewired to a new location. I flipped the switch, it powered up then a deafening boom went off. Fan blades shot out the front and back of the fan.
Thank god, we are taught to always stand the side of the fan when powering them on, for this exact reason.
If i wasnt to the side, i would have been swiss cheese.
The funny thing is, this happened in the first week I started ever working underground.
So that made me really cautious down there.

Finally! I just checked my account and it's there. My ride gets back in a couple days. I'll ask her the day after she gets back to take me to get the
truck. I don't want to bother her that day she gets back because she'd have already had a 6 hour trip. I'm not adding two more hours to it.
Hello to all Sheddites and lurkers everywhere! Have to leave in a while and won't be back until tonight.
Mac, glad the miner survived, but...OUCH!
Skiddy, so happy to hear you finally got your check!
Martin, I caught Gordis reply about your Mom too. You have to keep an eye on that one! He's trouble I tell you! LOL!
I saw Chooch up there somewhere. Hello Chooch!
Gordi, you always make me laugh! That is much needed at this time.
Another test tomorrow and that one doesn't sound pleasant at all. Scared and stressed of course.
Have a great day everyone!

Gordi Your drinking rhyme made me thirst,
for some booze over ice but a shot or two first.
Of tequilla with lime and a pinch of salt too,
so raise a shot with Me, I make a toast to You!!

Gordi played with momma’s bum
It must have been after he was in the rum
He doesn’t know my momma well
So he better run like hell!
HAHAHA! I couldn’t resist the rhyme!

Thanks. I'm happy, too. I have enough for the truck, gas, caffeine and road food. Yippie.
