Fostoria, OH cam #1

This is the same cam as a few months ago, but that link does not work anymore. Click this sentence for the new link. BONUS: If you view it right now, then you will see crews working on the Norfolk Southern side of the crossing!

Vacation

I'm on vacation. I will be back this weekend.

I am sorry

I am very sorry that I could not deliver the promise of the live updates. At first, we could not figure out the netbook, and when we did, we were already on the way back.=/ Although I am going to clean up the posts(except for the post with the Boron pics.), the follow by email tool is still up. I will also keep the expired Boron Poll below the labels tool until July, which is when the next poll will start.

A few things...

First of all, do not forget to check Traintalk for more updates than that of on here.

Second of all, this blog just reached 4,000 pageviews!

Third of all, I am at the hotel in Tehachapi.

Fourth of all, both devices go crazy whenever I try to post a live update, so hopes for that are shattered.

Fifth of all, here is a recap of all of my trains in Boron from yesterday.

US 395:

North American Chemical Co.(aka: some private crossing that landed in the middle of Boron with signals)

Rocket Site Rd.

Wa wa wa...

I just stopped by at Cajon Pass, but I saw no trains.
Unfortunately, the IPad is having a big stink about uploading images, so I will get to the netbook once I have time.

Poll Closed!!!

US 395 wins! However, if the weather and conditions are correct, then I will try to stop at all four of them... At the beginning, I told you that there was one crossing that I would have stopped at no matter what. That was Rocket Site Rd.

4 hours!

We are in a close race, the poll is not 80 days anymore! 4 hours!!!!! VOTE if you have not!

A few new features...

• Along with the other two "talk" blogs, which got this first, is a new +1 system, at the bottom of each post, in which you can +1 a post if you like it. Notice: You must have a valid Google account to give a +1.
• I am testing another new feature with this blog, which is the "reactions system, which is also at the bottom of each post, on which you can rate your reaction of the post. Funny, interesting, informative, and who cares are the four choices.

One week left!!!

What was an 80 day poll now has seven days left!!! If you were waiting until the very last minute, then VOTE!!!

Hi!

I would like to welcome all teachers that read this blog!

Up the Tehachapi grade parts 16&17

I did not take pictures at either crossing between Dennison Rd. and Bealville, so I am combining the tow parts because there were two crossings that I skipped.

I only have a few weeks to get the series done!

I did not get any pics. of Williamson Rd. in Monolith due to me finding out that there was tunnel maintenance, and me knowing that there would not be any trains coming. I was also in a hurry to catch something in Bakersfield that I never did.

traintalk

Traintalk is back up. Click on the first sentence of this post. Βe sure to check it out! I started this back in November, so it will be a little foggy. I am opening it up again for my upcoming trip to Tehachapi. I will post more about that in weeks to come on traintalk

Traintalk and Trainztalk are tow completely different things! Trainztalk is fake locomotives, Traintalk is real!

Trainztalk&traintalk

Trainztalk has been up for a while now, be sure to view it again

ALSO, one of my other blogs that was started back in November, but never really took off, is traintalk.


Teachers that I gave the address to Traintalk to, I gave you the wrong address. If you go to the one I gave you, you will go to an unrelated site. www.trainstalk.blogspot.com/ is what you want.

Maintenance is over.

The server is back up, the POLL HAS 35 VOTES FOR SOME REASON! How did it go from 18 to 35 in the last 7 hours? Anyway, comments are now enabled, maintenance is over.

I did not go to Cameron Canyon Rd. It is not my fault that they put up an exit sign that said "Cameron" instead of "Cameron Canyon Rd."!

The Boron poll

If you are good enough to look at how many days are left, then you would see that the poll is half over. It started at 80 days, and it is now 40. Once again, if you view this blog and are not a robot, please vote on it. It is on the sidebar. It is the first thing from the top on the sidebar.

Up the Tehachapi Grade 2010 part 11

I am rushing to get the series finished before my trip this year up the Tehachapi Grade. Hopefully this time, there will not be any track work.

Arroyo St., Mojave, CA

I did not take any pictures of Arroyo due to it not being found. Here is a link to the crossing from rxrsignals.net.
