Today on the FSJR Buzzie McAlester, Superintendent of Switching Operations ( SSO ,)  has been out on foot and cruising alongside the tracks in his 54 Buick Roadmaster observing the fleet and crews in action.  

Hogger Leroy Petrone  takes off his hat  as a " sort of salute "to the SSO.  E01514AF-3FFC-4839-9C90-90934115339A_1_105_c

A Baltimore & Annapolis SW9 slowly makes its' way over the grade at Patburg Ave.  The sanitation workers are popping open cold beers as their day is done.  Buzzie can't wait to pop open his own cold brew once his day is done. 05887FE0-412E-4AA9-B884-327A8440D1FD_1_201_a

Buzzie stops back at his office for lunch and observes this trio of switchers from his office window.

Walking across the pedetrian bridge Buzzie sees a B&O SW9 with piggy back cars in tow. 7E85DDBF-31F6-4817-BC94-A149082E4980

Buzzie honks his horn and gives a friendly wave as he drives past  hogger Jake Skaggs and fireman Lenny Jenkins standing beside their Docksider.   They decided to stretch their legs a bit as they await their next assignment. 5EFC4CDC-DD8B-482B-889B-3F381C754AF5
