Roger that, Roger, on the white knuckle drive that very foggy night. Early spring would work better. Bruce, other than seeing them pass by my work and hearing them on the radio on my way home some evenings, I rarely meet up with the CdA crew anymore. I'll have Christmas Eve off, so the annual shoot-the-local and hand-'em-a-plate-of-cookies ritual will likely occur. But could you tell me if you know when John (the conductor) is supposed to retire? He told me he's seen several CdA engineers (remember Marv?) retire out from under him, and his time has gotta be getting close. I think the brakeman with the big hat (never have caught his name) told me this summer that he, too, was on short time.
