RE: Challenger
Ed,
We
haven't made final plans yet, but Hugh and I are planning to be in
Corsicana by 10:30. We will give ourselves some margin, leaving Austin
about 7:00 AM.
We
will definitely abandon the chase by 2:00 PM when the train arrives at
Hearne--earlier if our interest wanes. That probably menas a MacDonalds
lunch on the fly. We would be happy to double up, with the caveat that
six-year-olds (as well as 59-year-olds) are somewhat unpredictable (although I
cannot see Hug getting tired of watching that engine.) I can drive--my car
is comfortable for four--or we can ride with someone in a larger/newer
car. If we are going to meet, I suggest something like a
shopping parking lot center in Round Rock.
I will
only be checking my email about once tomorrow, so plans are made late, try
calling me at (512) 636 0739 or (512) 322 0439.
Regards,
Mike
I am interested in going on Sunday. I don't know if I can yet but I
want to. Please answer up if you are going, we can try to set up a
meeting place.

Y'all,
According
to the website,
http://www.uprr.com/notes/corpcomm/2003/super_schedule.shtml, the Challenger
(3985) will leave St. Louis on Thursday, and will make the run from Tyler to
Hearne on Sunday, the 25th, with a service stop in Corsicana at 10:30. Hugh
and I expect to be chasing it for at least part of the way, but our schedule
might be tight, as we normally have family over on Sunday evenings. We might
be able to double up with someone, but at least we hope to see some of you
on the route.
Regards,
Mike

Scott, Buddy &
Everyone:
In case you didn't notice: The 3985 is being held up in St.
L! ouis for "repair". The news release was dated Sunday, but I called UP and
was told that at this time it is expected to remain in St. Louis until
Thursday morning. That would put it 3 days behind schedule, but the schedule
will likely be modified due to traffic, etc. I was told to keep checking the
website.
Ideally, the run from Corsicana to Hearne would be Sunday,
but I don't think we will be that lucky. In any case, I intend to take Hugh
out of school whenever we get a chance for a
photo-op.
Regards,
Mike

Re: Various
Someone set a time to meet and leave and we can go
together.
It is scheduled into Hearne at 2PM and leaves at 8AM the
next day. It
will under the overpass on 79. This seems like the best
place to go
while i! t is on the road. It is about 2 hours to Hearne.
Darkness will
still be between 5 and 6 at best. Only 90 miles so might be
able to do
it a little quicker.
I could leave downtown say 3:30
and can hold 8 in my suburban or 6
easily.
Anyone else game for a
run. this is a Thurs.
