As the CPKC Shakopee job was preparing to enter Valley Park Yard early on a Saturday evening, the conductor (the gent in the hi-viz vest at left) saw me as he was standing in the road after lining the switch off the main, noticed I was a railfan, and tapped his ears to warn me the air horns were about to sound. Thank you! You are a kind railroader, sir, and a credit to your company. |
