Mostly about my backyard chickens. (Boring, I know), but there are a lot of us out here. Mine are only kept as pampered pets. I could eat a neighbor's chicken, but not MINE. There may be a comment on current events only if I get riled up enough. And there will always be a cartoon or a joke to cheer us. I promise to try my very best to respond to comments. Now I have to figure out how this blogger thingy works....

Friday Night Steam
These are the types of trains I grew up with.
When we were little, we would always play in the railroad yards until they chased us out:
What a great video. I really liked the steam locomotive helping the diesel up the grade. Heh heh Horseshoe Curve is famous and it is great to see it with steam. Found a video about the Curve here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFA48h05HPQ
The footage of the heavy freights slogging up the grade makes you realize just how much weight was being moved. The PA railroad seems to have some gigantic tenders! I wondered about the structure on some of the tenders and after some Google research, I found they were called doghouse tenders. Here is a link to some information. http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/t/14537.aspx Thanks for the film!
