Considering this mishap, I was fortunate that David got these pics. Thanks David! Last edited by Fast Yeti; 09/25/13 11:02 PM.

I heard about a RR hitting the wall at Norwalk, and you told me you were going there the night we met at Ohio Valley. It sure was running well that night. So sorry to see this.
