• Another mess of a stone train
  to-day. This time there wasn’t enough red stone to go around, so I
  wound up waiting three extra hours while several truckers ran off to
  another quarry to get some uglicky volcanic-grade timberlite…nasty
  stuff to work with. Needless to say, I timed out again.

  But how can you complain too hard after your first time running a
  200-ton diesel locomotive over the entire length of the railroad???
  

  I sure couldn’t. If ever there was a time when I could experience exhilaration and trepidation simultaneously, that was it.
