Hey Crew, I've started a new train series of essays. I've gotten so many notes from station visits that I had to start a new series to cover them all. My engineer writings are still the best, but this one takes up where those leave off. The series title, however, is based on Glen's first vocal utterance from that Metrolink 608 cab, the night the magic all started. Well maybe it started earlier than that, but this brought it into a new dimension. I guess he just figured out I wasn't going away, chuckles! Those three little words were so perfect I had to use them for the title! So if you want to read more about what goes on there from my perspective, take a peek at the "She Likes trains" series. I had seven pages of notes so I had to start somewhere! Foamers, talkers, engines, and engineer analysis, meet the characters who are the show. This is better than TV!
