Long story short, I'm waiting out the colder months, wishing I had cold gear to get up to Portland. Totally broke, and no real way to make money other than sign flying, or god help me if I could get an under the table job. Was in the Bay for a minute, but had to get out. Crazy story. Religiously...

Who was that kid that got off the pig and skirt on the south side of the yard?

We walked for about 4 miles to the neighborhood of Pilsen in Chicago. There was a Y in that location that was just outside yard limits. In the middle of that Y were cottonwood trees and bushes. We made camp there and found one of the hills had weed growing, fully flowered and purple from the...

Part 1; Autumn 2006 Roseville. I was coming up on a red signal at Atkinson, which is the signal in front of the Roseville yard office at the small road crossing. I went after some air (initial set of air to the train brakes) and I was ready to meet the next crew who would relieve us of our...

So, I got a few days off of work and figured I'd head up to Roseville. I'll probably be leaving late tonight. Last time I took this train was back in June. Has anything changed that I should be aware of? I'd like to check out the railroad museum in Sacramento while I'm up there. Anyone been...
