101 by mp 236 @ 7:35 with 817, 811 & 411 lhf.  Tommy saluting our big light and
sparklers with all IM, including 2 Ashleys, Interstate and double stacks.  Good to have

FEC101 Feb 27, 2016

101 by mp 236 @ 7:15 with what appeared to be 2 8's and a blue.  Thanks to this crew
for their salutes to my sparklers.  I could make out IM, with an Ashley, lots of Ravens,
FEC blue containers and a big surprise of WalMart on the bottom, knowing this means a
FO stop.
Anita caboose

FEC202 Feb 27, 2016

202 by mp 236 @ 5:56 with 822, 818, 501 & my Pink Lady 436.  Where is that
videographer when you need one?!  Mark saluting and waving white.   Lots of rock and
gons up front, think 8 IM double stacks and mish mash of freight to the bottom. One pig
looked like it had part of a steam engine at first glance, but guess it was some piece of
machinery.  My take is for meet in Micco with 101.

FEC101 Feb 26, 2016

101 by mp 236 @ 7:41 with 817 & 811.  Mark saluting my sparklers and Caboose's huge

Anita caboose

FEC202 Feb 25, 2016

101 by mp 236 @ 6:25 with 805 & 803.  Guessing Jim back and saluting as I rush out the
door again.  Already missing my Caboose, as I receive from him the heads up when to be
ready.  Need a big screen on the kitchen wall  with ATCS to assist me!  Odd to have
racks on the head end, followed by IM with lots of UPS, double stacks, 2 Tiger Cool
Express and 2 Ashley.  Rain subsided for now.
Anita caboose

FEC202 Feb 24, 2016

202 by mp 236 @ 4:39 with 809 & 810 as they snuck up on me.  Grabbed my safety vest,
flew out the door in the rain and waved it over my head.  Yes by golly, Tommy saw me and
saluted.  Tubs and rock, IM and racks on the bottom with two BNSF pumpkins. 
No engineer or videographer for 4 days as Caboose and his 813 are at Ridge Live
Steamers winter meet.  Will hold down Caboose Junction South to the best of my
ability.
