Freezing cold and pouring rain... in mesquite, on a work day???? I've seen worse crowds, for an event like this. Maybe, like the crowd that you're likely to draw at your funeral, with that kind of attitude??? Jeez Loooooweeeeze????

What I saw was some pretty incredible cooperation with the public, local media, UP, local PD and Sheriff's doing several days of outreach and media on rail safety for this event, using safety tape to lane off too close of access to the tracks in most towns it passed through. And, that crowd all looked a whole lot better behaved than some of the foamers I've seen who managed to get themselves arrested on Cajon, by telling that special agent to go f##k off to her face, while trespassing for that special "shot" of 3751.
