NS 70E (4-19-08) JOHN AND DOUG SLOWLY PASS WITH A SHOW!!!!!!

After eating at Red Lobster I heard 70E pass with conductor John Karavousanos and engineer Doug on it. I caught up to them here at Tall Timber road where John opened the window, waved and Doug held a paper out that said, (I heart Amy) Amy is his wife/girlfriend and he wanted me to include this. HERE YOU GO DOUG! UP 5877, UP 8244, UP 7004, 118 loads, 6,650ft, 17,000tons., UP 6604 on the rear. Will not make it back to St. Louis with the other empty so they will need a van at Sorento. They had to wait on 3 trains here at Karnes. NS 301 and 2 more. Up the line at Litchfield a BN train told 301 a crossing was messed up at Litchfield the arms were going up and down so a MOW came out to fix it and watch trains by. It was a mess. THIS ONE IS FOR YOU JOHN AND DOUG! P.S. John spelled his name for me so I have it right now, LOL!
