FOR TODAY:  It's Friday afternoon!  

Judging by the sun's glare on the tower window it must be bout 3 pm.  A Penny A5 takes on water at the spout.  Fireman Gustav Bleakley stands on the tender's deck waiting for the tank to top off.  After the tank is full the little A5 will make its' way to the roundhouse to be put away until tomorrow.  Gus is anticipating a nice cold brew at Gallagher's Irish Pub once he's off duty in about 30 minutes.

About 3:30 as clouds roll in this quartet of power is ready for their next assignment.  The WM BL2 will head a  commuter train from Patsburg out to the burbs as will the B&O Gp9.  The GG1 will lead a long distance passenger train to New York City and the N&W J will lead a passenger train to Norfolk VA.

Meanwhile on a remote MOW siding up on the Mountain Division, MOW worker Barnabus Greenly pauses to take in the gorgeous scenery, senza the junk pile in the foreground.  Seems like this work caboose will be his home away from home this weekend. Good thing he brought his fishing pole because there is a trout stream near by and Barnabus does love him some trout too!  5C6EAF5C-6A8B-44DC-837A-915E03B105D2
