101by mp 216 at 6:04 with Stan tooting S&H and ECH waving white from the tread at my fusees.  All IM up front,  about one mile of empty bare tables, followed by all IM and doubles. Meet in FO with 202. A nice sunbeam came out for Caboose to do his vid. Sounded good to hear dispatcher announce Bougard to where 101 was.  Missing you Bo. Guess 202 picking and dropping in FO,  so not sure if we will wait.

101 by mp216 at 7:21 with 102, 140 & Pink Lady 425 lhf.  Ray with toots and bell ringing to my fusees as they creep by,  for what reason,  we do not know.  Four loads of ballast and first cut of empty Ortners were stenciled for SPTX. What a train of IM and two Ashley's holding hands,  but took a long time to go by.  Does not hurt our feelings any! .

202 by mp216 at 7:41 with 107 & 142. Many empties with a smattering of freight and racks on
the bottom.  Jim and ECH sending us greetings on their way back north.   Weather not
cooperating to my fusees,  could not light, with wind and cold akin to a noreaster.  This is
spring and Easter?  What happened to global warming?  No wonder we are confused.  At least
we were able to meet our trains!
