Also, thank the hard-working ladies at the main grocery store across the river who were open early and supplied us with booze, gourmet beef jerky and lots of fruit for the return trip.<BR/><BR/>Dear Drew: The idea of you chasing the train in your blue Ford Explorer on Vicodin in your shorts (thanks to your hard-driving wife) is an image I'll always treasure. See you on another train adventure, and hope the back gets better soon.Civic Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12362422142667230626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-1145310282072291102006-04-17T14:44:00.000-07:002006-04-17T14:44:00.000-07:00I had a great time chasing this train even in the ...I had a great time chasing this train even in the bad weather. Greatful to my wife for driving--back problems had me on vicodin.<BR/><BR/>In case you are wondering, we were in the blue Ford Explorer and on Saturday, weather not withstandin, I was wearing shorts.<BR/><BR/>Drew JacksichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-1145293679274469502006-04-17T10:07:00.000-07:002006-04-17T10:07:00.000-07:00Thanks for the great photo show!It was quite a tre...Thanks for the great photo show!<BR/><BR/>It was quite a treat to see that train come sailing in to Portola, especially with the Silver Solarium on the end. I was the guy standing on the front of the switch engine when the FRE pulled in to town. Looks like quite a ride.<BR/><BR/>We're working on restoring 2 Budd dome cars at the Portola Museum. One day, you'll be able to ride them down the Canyon again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-1144819476000415462006-04-11T22:24:00.000-07:002006-04-11T22:24:00.000-07:00I learn SO MUCH about my world from blogging.Merci...I learn SO MUCH about my world from blogging.<BR/>Merci.cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-1144691692283491932006-04-10T10:54:00.000-07:002006-04-10T10:54:00.000-07:00to see foamers and chasers on wonderful celluloid,...to see foamers and chasers on wonderful celluloid, you should consider renting <A HREF="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340377/?fr=c2l0ZT1kZnx0dD0xfGZiPXV8cG49MHxrdz0xfHE9dGhlIHN0YXRpb24gYWdlbnR8ZnQ9MXxteD0yMHxsbT01MDB8Y289MXxodG1sPTF8bm09MQ__;fc=1;ft=21" REL="nofollow">the station agent</A>. (I'm guessing that you haven't seen it already only because the idea of chasers was new to you!) <BR/><BR/>My girlfriend and I are ridiculously envious of this trip, as most of our train-related trips and musings don't get any farther than the 385.1 section at the main library and the train-themed diner on Polk St... I'm glad we can vicariously appreciate yours!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11380345.post-1144420506242214202006-04-07T07:35:00.000-07:002006-04-07T07:35:00.000-07:00Incredible voyage and photos.
